TinyTech India

Tonight I came across an interesting company out of Gujarat, India, called TinyTech. They manufacture small scale food processing and energy equipment with the intent of helping to foster decentralized economic/human development.

I like their spirit.

Here's an excerpt from a manifesto of sort by Gopal Desai, a director at TinyTech:

MY TIPS FOR HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE

(1) Remember that our life is not for unlimited period. The most definite and sure and certain event in our life is our death.

(2)Money is just similar to blood pressure. If it increases beyond certain limit, it creates trouble just like high blood pressure. If it decreases below certain limit, it creates trouble just like low blood pressure. As we remain healthy between narrow range of blood pressure, same is with money.

(3) Attitude of earning more and more money is not good, but attitude of job satisfaction is more important. Never do work at the cost of health. Keep helping nature for all for ever as long as you can help.

(4)Real happiness is generated by serving poor people, trodden people, needy people. Please read mahatma Gandhi’s books & you will understand very clearly how to turn remaining life in right direction.

(5) To become really happy, be satisfied & think always in free time to do something for the most poorest similar to one you have ever seen in your life.

(6) Give most importance to Food , Shelter & cloth. Do something so that lots of employment is created & atleast all people in this world get these 3 basic necessity. This is only possible thro, micro, small, family Or village level industries.
