Not everything with the Tata name is big and expensive. The Tata Nano is the world’s cheapest car. It is a tiny car,
which makes it good for India’s crowded cities. The original price in 2009 was 1 lakh, or about $1,800, but the price
has gone up a little since then. The Nano is a good symbol of what Tata wants to do: to make life better for poor
people, and to show the world that Indian technology and business are as good as anything in the rich world.
