... and insensitive. Heartless too. Funny, how there are Heart Specialists in every gully, nook and cranny in India's mega-cities.
News is Volvo to buy 1 Mil. sq./ft. from Bagmane Tech. Parks.
I google the Co. and turns out they do nothing but tech. parks.
A Tech. Park only real-estate Co.

Mahindra inaugurates India's first Electric Vehicle manufacturing plant
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Mahindra goes green with Reva's green EV plant in Bangalore
With petrol prices skyrocketing beyond the common mans budget, alternate fuels are sure to make their presence felt sooner than we expected. Mahindra has already thought ahead and will be the first manufacturer to jump onto the electric bandwagon. Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles Pvt. Ltd., a part of the US $15.4 billion Mahindra Group, formally inaugurated its manufacturing facility, which is the first platinum rated automobile facility in India.
EV’s are being seen as a serious alternative to fossil fuel driven cars and Mahindra is all set to take a lead in developing the EV segment and the surrounding ecosystem. The new manufacturing plant is, in a way the first tangible proof point of the Future of Mobility – this is the first purpose-built, ground-up EV plant in India, the first manufacturing plant to get IGBC platinum rating, the first plant where cars get their first fill using solar power. In fact, this plant will consume the least amount of energy per car build, with 1/3rd of this energy coming from solar power.
Mahindra Reva also unveiled a host of technologies. The technologies showcased include ‘Quick2Charge’, by which the car can be charged in 15 minutes to run 25 km, thereby providing customers with increased convenience. In order to tap and use the abundant solar energy for mobility, Mahindra Reva has designed a personal charging unit called
- ‘Sun2Car’ - Provides free and clean energy for the lifetime of the car, making it a very cost-effective solution.
‘Car2Home’ - Provides free and clean energy from car to home !
While it cannot be said that only Electrics will rule the future, it is certain that alternate fuels make a strong case for themselves and will be here sooner than you think. And when they do, Mahindra will be ready.

Scary New Indians
-------------------
I have met, studied and worked with many, many similar young Indian women like Ruchi here.
They speak Indian English, they are fiercely ambitious, semi-independent and businesslike. They are smart and hard working just like Chinese or Thai women. The main advantage they carry with them is the comfort level with the English speaking OECD world. Working women in India, in the middle-east and the west and east is old news; I'm talking about an all new breed of Indian female IT pro.'s.
Even though a new, mainly Karachi side Mohajir and Ismaili origin pro. class of women has been around, this is where Pakistani society lost out re: yrs. of military rule motivated non-empowerment of a pro. class of women. Believe me, there are 1000's of Indian (not overseas, western or Indian origin, NRI or PIO types) women IT, Pharma, Banking and Insurance 'crore-patis' (
should that be .. hehe - crore-'patnis') in India who made it and later made it big when IBM, BT, Cisco, Accenture, KPMG, Oracle, SAP, Cap Gemini and other India based MNC IT 'outsourcing' Co.'s and local IT giants hired them 20-25 yrs. back in the tens of thousands. Many were middle class and continued the career paths, the majority had their careers sidelined re: marriage and children. 1-2 like Infosys founder spouses are even $ Billionaire's in their own right re: their personal stock in the Co., all in India, all local.
Therefore, this is the ongoing story of women's empowerment re: reservations in schools, colleges, buses and trains. What a story!
IT gives this new Indian woman a better then level field to take on the world re: an unbiased, rather motivated math and science even for women, English speaking eco-system and some support from newly empowered mother's, grandmother's, brother's and father's.
This is speacially noticeable in a V shape coastal India all the way from Gujarat, down to Bombay, Pune, Kerala, Tamil, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Andra, all the way to Bengal and specially from Bengal to Assam and the 7 sister states. Bombay, Bengal and Kerala were pioneers in Indian women taking front seat.
