So what are you hinting at, Ajit?
by DV Nayak on Jan 11, 2008 02:59 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Are you hinting at any of these:
1. Crowdsourcing the modding process to make odd and funny additions/subtractions to the design by individuals or garages (DC - dilip chhabria)?
2. Crowdsourcing add-on combinations or co-operative marketing like Car laptop or car iphone or car Walky or car wireless?
3. Poor man's ("manual labour") _pedalled_ (not peddling) car?
4. A solar cell covered exterior for the Nano?
5. A Nano running on Carbon Nanotube-based fuel?
6. A reward-based design-improvisation challenge like they have in the software industry?
7. Nano-wikinomics to replace macroeconomics?
8. Nano retail fast food outlets all over the highway network?
9. Nano rear-of-the-seat TV for the rest of the family
10. Or are you referring to ages-old utopian share-a-car to save the city.
11. Or are you thinking of co-operatives which purchase Nanos collectively for new services like "Nano-delivery cart" - shop at rediff, ship at "Nano-coop" which means some guys pool in cash and buy a Nano for doing delivery of goods to local clients?

All these are pretty old ideas outside of India. Do you really think these things will work, here in India?
I doubt it. In fact, I assure you this won't work. We're "conservative" at best. At worst, we're Saas-Bahu-hungry narrow-minded fools.
Count me out of this argument. What's _your_ message?
How I wish I could say "Tata to old economics" and "Hello Nano!" to new wikinomics.
Sadly, that's Utopian.
