but if you don't have money what happens well you are to ride a
bicycle carrying your own weight and also some other weight so that you can
the bread for the day well poor do not remain poor they become lower middle class and if they do so then of course the conditions improve
and they start riding on scooters but the
challenge is again they don't get much value because
they can't afford anything more than the scooter the issue is at that price can you give them some extra value
a super value in terms of their
ability to ride in a car to get that
dignity to get that safety looks practically impossible isn't it
now this is something that we see on
indian streets all the time but many people see the same thing and think things
differently and one of them is here
the great thing about our leaders is that should they not only have
passion in their belly which practically all of them have
is
absolutely true it's not just ratan tata it's the house of tatas over time let me
confirm what she said yes i went
i was twelve i struggled to day was a huge issue and when i finished my
and it was tata trust which gave me six rupees per month almost a dollar per month for six years that's how i'm
standing before you so that
of course as soon as you say something like this people say it is impossible and that's what was said by suzuki he said oh probably he is going to
with stepney and you can see the
cartoon here well they didn't build that they built a proper car nano and
i'm six feet half an inch ratan is taller than me and we have ample space in the front and ample space in the back in this particular
and
incredible car and of course nothing succeeds like success the cynics then turned around and one after the other
told them question
and at a point in time he got so engrossed in the whole
challenge that he himself became a member of the team can you believe it
i still am told about this story of that single wiper design in which he participated until
midnight he'd be thinking early morning he'll be coming back with sort of solutions
the team leader was girish wagh a thirty four year old boy in and the nano team average age was just twenty seven years
and they did
innovation in design and beyond broke many norms of the standard conventions for the first time for example that a two
cylinder gas engine was used in a car with a
huge co
creation with vendors and suppliers all ideas on board
seeking solutions for non auto sectors it was an open
innovation ideas from all over were
welcome the
mechanism of helicopters seats and windows was used by the way
as well as a dashboard that was inspired by two wheelers the fuel lines and lamps were as in two wheelers and
and
therefore each
component had to have a dual functionality and the seat riser for example serving as a mounting for the seat as well as a structural part of the functional rigidity half the number of
contained in nano in
comparison to a
typical passenger car the length is smaller by eight percent by the way but the current entry level cars in
comparison to that is eight percent less but twenty one percent more inside
space and what happened was that
more from less you can see how much more for how much less when the model t was launched and this is by the way all the figures that are adjusted to two thousand and seven dollar prices
was nineteen thousand seven hundred by ford volkswagon was eleven thousand three hundred and thirty three and british motor was around eleven thousand
and nano was bang dollar two thousand this is why you started actually
a new paradigm shift where the same people who could not dream of sitting in a car who were carrying their entire family in a scooter started dreaming of being in a car and those dreams are getting
this is a photograph of a house and a driver and a car near my own home
nano and you can see there is a
physical space that has been created for him
parking that car along with the owner 's car but more importantly they've created a space in their mind that yes my
chauffeur is going to come in his own car and park it and that's why i call it a transformational innovation
it is not just technological it is social innovation
that we talk about and that is where ladies and gentlemen this famous
of getting more from less for more becomes important i remember talking about this for the first time in australia about one and a half years ago when their
academy honored me with a fellowship
i titled this more from less for more and more people as gandhian
engineering and gandhian
engineering in my judgment is the one which is going to take the world forward is going to make a difference not just for a few but for everyone
let me move from mobility in a car to individual mobility for those unfortunates who have
here is an american citizen and his son having an
artificial foot what is its price dollar twenty thousand
and of course these feet are so designed that they can walk only on such
more importantly they not only walk far to work and not only do they cycle to work
but they cycle for work as you can see here and they climb up for their work you have to design an
artificial foot for such conditions
a quick molding and modular components enabling custom made on the spot limb fitments you could feel it
actually in an hour by the way
whereas the
equivalent other feet took something like a day
socket made by using heated high
density polyethylene pipes rather than using heated sheets and
unique high ankle design and human like looks and functions and i like
how it looks and how it works
jumps you can see what
stress it must have
so that's what it is all about and
therefore time took notice of this
let 's
to something else i've been talking about getting more from less for more let 's move to health we've talked about mobility and the rest of it let 's talk about health what's
happening in the area of health you know you have new diseases that require new drugs
it took around ten years and seven hundred million dollars let 's start in the spirit of more from less and more for more
looks
absolutelyridiculous you know something this has been achieved in india these targets have been achieved in india and how
once said when you wish to
achieve results that have not been achieved before it is an
unwise fancy to think that they can be achieved by using methods that have been used before
from men to mice to men not molecule to mice to men you know and that is how this difference has come and you can see
you can see before
treatment and after
treatment this is really getting more from less for more and more people because these are all affordable treatments now let me just
and he also said i would prize every
invention of science made for the benefit for all so he was giving you the message that you must have it for more and more people
not just a few people and
therefore ladies and gentlemen this is the theme getting more from less for more
and mind you it is not getting just a little more for just a little less it's not about low cost it's about ultra low cost
it is not only getting more from less for more by more and more people the whole world
working for it i was very touched when i saw a breakthrough the other day you
for example they're not
available in africa they're not
available in
indian villages and infants die
two thousand and there's a twenty five dollar incubator giving that
performance that had been created and by
the message the final message is this india gave a great gift to the world what was that twentieth century we gave gandhi to the world
century gift which is very very important for the whole world whether it is global economic meltdown whether it is
climate change any problem that you talk about
is gaining more from less for more and more not only the current generations for the future generations and that can come only from gandhian engineering
so ladies and gentlemen i'm very happy to announce this gift of the twenty one st century to the world from india gandhian engineering
thank you
a story that drove me that transformed my life i remember i went to a poor school because
my mother could not gather the twenty one rupees that half a dollar that was required within the stipulated time it was high school
but it was a poor school with rich teachers
honestly and one of them was who taught us physics one day he took us out into the sun and tried to show us how to find the focal length of
the lens was here the piece of paper was there he moved it up and down and there was a bright spot up there and then he said this is the focal length but then he held it for a little while lakshmi
me a great message focus and you can
achieve i said whoa science is so wonderful i have to become a scientist
but more importantly focus and you can
achieve and that message very
frankly is
valuable for society today what does that focal length
it has
parallel lines which are sun rays and the property of
parallel lines is that they never meet
so i
learned the lesson of convex lens
leadership from that and when i was at national
