Ratan Tata family has a rich legacy. But he never wished to sit idle and enjoy the fruits unlike in other dynastic families where you can become a PM candidate without any qualification or credentials, just because your forefathers were leaders, Prime ministers.
Ratan Tata always cares to create products that were affordable for the average Indian consumer. Tata Nano is one such product. Though the product wasn't hit in the market, his intention to help an average middle-class family of 4 to travel in the car is applaudable.
