Dr. Mashelkar\u2019s speech presents a new approach to solve problems that will mean \u201cmore for less for more.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0What does this mean?\u00a0\u00a0We need to look for solutions that provide \u201cvalue for many,\u201d rather than \u201cvalue for money.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0By requiring products to be extremely affordable, innovative products emerged, such as the Nano car, Jaipur Foot and a treatment for Psoriasis.\u00a0\u00a0Drawing upon different fields and using non-traditional materials and methods enabled developers to meet their customers\u2019 needs.\u00a0\u00a0In Gandian engineering innovators from different fields come together to solve problems for many, rather than focusing on creating solutions only the elite that can afford.<\/p>\n
While there is a fair amount of disagreement (see the comments on the page), in particular about success of the Nano car, Dr. Mashelkar\u2019s message is clear:\u00a0\u00a0We must unite to move forward.<\/p>\n
