Review: RE: Will Just a small update. Tata Motors is a decently large player in Asia. Amongst Indian auto majors, it also has a distinction of coming up with a commercially successful passenger vehicle "Indica," which was designed and manufactured indigenously. This car has a successful market in Euraope as well. Tata Technologies is providing Engineering and Design services to Tata Motors for several years now. So it cannot be said that Indian companies lack experience in those areas., especially not so for Tata Technologies. This area is a niche which Tata Technologies has developed for itself amongst the host of IT Sevices provided by Indian IT companies.

Review: Tata Technologies (not Technology!) like all firms under Tata umbrella stands for Trust. The vast expanse of engineering & design experience in particular in the automotive sector is what differentiates this company from the bulk of typical low cost out-sourcing and IT service industries. While Wipro, IBM, Infy leverage the relationships with their automotive customers which they have developed by providing IT infrastructure support, application development, and promise them R&D support without much experience, Tata Tech is a dedicated engineering powerhouse. Tata is growing globally through inorganic expansions too, as it took over INCAT from UK in August 2005. The time is very near for a global vehicle sporting Designed in India, Manufactured in India, Sold all over labels. Kudos to Tatas!

Review: India got independence 55 years back and since then, it has been thriving to come up in all the fields. It has started from ground up and it will surely make its way up in cars, technology, everything in a couple of years. In the global market, whoever comes with cheaper technological solutions, is going to lead that industry.

Review: What India and China fail to realize is that without the US consuming, they are dead as well. So, yes, India and China may "kick the US' butt" but that will hurt them just as much. Europe is smart in erecting national barriers to oursourcing. Yes, the US is mortaging its future in a big way, but remember, the creditors also feel a lot of pain in any bankruptcy.

Review: The article is good and bad. Yes, we will be loosing jobs but look at the quality of the cars that we produce. My first and last car was a Ford. It had so many problems, I bought a Japanese car. The only thing that I do is oil change. Lately, our cars have improved and once they are reliable, yes we will buy them. More labor costs the expensive the car.

Review: Tata's plan sounds good but it is not going with the trend which is outsourcing the manufacturing and not the R&D. And this trend is heading to China and other parts of Asia. Without good experience with manufacturing, which India lacks, it is hard for them to be successful doing R&D. R&D in developing a car product is very different to IT services.

Review: This was a good article up until the last paragraphs which were full of bologna that this won't impact the US, that our engineers will be redeployed to work on "innovation." Give me a break. If engineers in India will work for a quarter of the cost, US workers will be replaced by them and end up unemployed. Also even if salaries in India rose to be the same as the US (which would take many years according to the math in the article), there are many other countries which are working to provide educated people willing to work for a fraction of what US (and even India) workers make.

Review: America needs to wake up once and for all that now more then ever "only the strong will survive." But strength today does not necessarily equate to strength in the future. Both India and China need to realize that American consumerism drives product demand. If America sinks much further so will these opportunistic low cost providers. Unity is a must, but do not bank on it.

Review: Re: to Bill. Buying American cars for 36 years. How many cars did you have to buy? With a Japanese car you probably would have to buy only three in that period of time. Ford cars? Well, let's say eight?
