LET'S TRY IT IN SECONDS!

FIRST CUT ⏱ 01:21 - 02:18

Let's read...

I decided that India could produce its own car. Everybody, my friends overseas in the automobile business said that this couldn't be done. We had to go through collaboration to get know how, to get technology that we undertake to produce this car. You saw images of it in the video was called the IndyCar and we produced it in India, totally of Indian content. As we got close to putting it in the market, my friends in India somewhat distanced themselves from me, otherwise known as distancing yourself from failure.

Let's follow Ratan Tata...

Let's read...

And when the car came out I suddenly felt that I didn't have a friend in the world and that all the warnings that people had given me were probably going to come true. But the car did come out. It did earn a 20% market share. And we showed that we could do something throughout, throughout the time I've been involved in business, there hasn't been anything that has equaled the excitement, the reward, and the exhilaration that the car industry has provided and can provide. It gives, as has been said earlier, an opportunity to test new technologies, new building methods. But above all, it has helped in the transformation of the Indian economy, to a mobile economy.
