The world’s media has chronicled every bit of the Nano’s birth, from labour pangs panning over three years to a safe delivery. So, will marketing the car be child’s play after all. There is so much momentum propelling it or will it be a case of striving to meet great expectations.

1.Q: Are you nervous? Is this much bigger than the launch of Indica?

I think I was much more nervous during the launch of Indica because we had never been in car manufacturing before. We were venturing into a new segment. We are again venturing into a new segment but in a product line in which we have 10 years of experience now.

TATA NANO controversy

Another political controversy has erupted as our barefaced politicians have started burning effigies of the small icon(NANO).

The beatific smile on the faces of millions of people has been followed by our belaboring politicians

Since the Nano is the next big thing and there has been huge media hype over the car, should an automobile be hyped in this way? Should it be given this much glamour given the costs of car in today’s times?
