The much-awaited people’s car from Tata motors “Tata Nano” is finally launched on 23rd March, 2009. With its launching, Mr. Ratan Tata has shown the entire world what real entrepreneurship zeal can achieve when one is committed. The launching day of Tata Nano has become the red letter day for the Indian Automobile Industry, Indian automakers and finally, for the Indian public for whom the car is originally conceived.

The true highlight behind the launching of Tata Nano is the kind of support it has received from the people of India. Perhaps, no other company has received as much criticism and as much support as the Tata Motors.

When Tata was forced out of Singur (West Bengal) due to dirty regional politics, the collective hurt and shame of every Indian touched a new height. But, that event could not sway the faith of common people on the leadership quality or on the ability of Mr. Tata. It was when another enterprising leader, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr Narendra Modi stepped in, that the people gave a collective sigh of relief.

Though, for now, Nano will be rolled out from a small plant in Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) till the Gujrat plant gets ready, the little inconvenience is nothing for the man who has battled many a battles. Finally, the dream of Mr. Tata and dreams of millions (from villages and towns) of owning a car will soon be fulfilled.

Mr. Tata truly exemplifies the spirit that says – nothing can stand in the way, when one is determined. Undoubtedly, 23 rd March 2009 has become the day that Indians around the world will not want to forget easily for a long time.
