Would you mind owning a TATA car?

By Naren Ubi on October 1, 2008

I work for an IT company with thousands of employees; with 4-level parking space that can accommodate about 2500 to 3000 cars.

Being a market analyst, I was a little shaken by the negligible number of TATA cars in all of the four rows that I considered.
