Some surprises from these are ………..

Okay Tata – Quality : Many of us while traveling notice a peculiar writing at the back of the trucks, normally we recall – “Sound Horn Please” and If it is a Tata Truck, then obviously you will find the label “OK TATA”.  Many of us might have observed this, but over the time we might have ignored this as it is common in most of the Tata Trucks.  The author provides that anecdote on why these trucks have OK marked on these and the reason.  Reflecting back this would bring the simile back on the face as it is just application of Common Sense for improving Quality of the Product.  

 

On Time: Many of us might have experienced the delay in boarding the flights and had bad experience, how about reading an anecdote on people of Geneva setting their watches to the time at the air India flight flew over their city ! – amazing isn’t it ?

 

Competency & Capability : India had working knowledge and expertise for the development of the nuclear energy in the future before the first atomic bomb exploded in 1945 – Incredible Right

 

Influence: The story of Super Computer “Eka” – truly remarkable and Would be surprise that an offer of entire crate of kingfisher beer would lend help in solving the problem !!

 

Tata Memorial Hospitals: Dorabji Tata and Lady Meherbai Tata, whose generous benevolence helped build Tata Memorial Cancer hospital, TIFR and TISS, and many more projects started and supported by the trust.

Generating Employment : establishment of Tata Silk Farm

Okhai – creativity of Saurashtra tribal to the fashion ramps of Milan

Workman Safety, Slimmest Watch in the universe, Tata Scholars, Tata and the Olympics,

 Binding line : If you cannot make it great, at least preserve it. Do not let things slide. Go on doing our work and increasing it, but it you cannot, do not lose what we have already done
