PRINCIPLES OF TATA D

10. “I observed families riding on two-wheelers—the father
driving the scooter, his young child standing in front of
him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. It
led me to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe,
affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a
family.”
