Australian floggers and repairers of cars and tires like to brand their enterprises with the name of a “legendary” racing driver or football “hero”, and/or to present their sales-simians as “great great guys”, and/or or present their proprietor as an “icon” of trustworthiness.
If any were to consider entering the automotive “game” in south India, they should be advised that the untoppable, “ultra premium”/ “iconic” brand name is already taken….
I have never seen a more striking marriage of chutzpah and conspicuous piety than this very modest/immodest establishment in a “hill station” in Kerala.
It, the self-described “largest employee owned tea company in the world”, and India’s highest non-Himalayan peak are all in or near to Munnar.
