The Tata Nano website displays the firm confidence mega companies like Tata have in Free Software and Open Source technologies.
According to the website, “The name ‘Nano’ was chosen as it denotes high technology and small size. People world over were keen to see what Tata Motors’ People’s Car looked like and know more about it. The Tata Motors website saw nearly 7.9 million hits on 10 January 2009 (the day the Nano was unveiled), while the Tata Nano website saw 4 million hits in 30 hours, making these sites amongst the busiest in the world. The Nano website (www.tatanano.com) was developed within a short time frame of one and a half months and with limited resources. The entire portal has been built on open source technologies, involving minimum investment, following the essence of the Nano – low cost, but high technology.”
