Mechmen Motors situated on the NH 12 highway, just outside of Bhopal has a fairly large Tata dealership. This was the location of our flag off from Bhopal and towards Nagpur.
The chief guest for this event was Mr. AV Singh, Chief Election Commissioner of Madhya Pradesh. A lot of local media and press photographers were also present to cover the event in detail.
Once the chief guest had arrived and prior to the actual flag off ceremony, there were speeches given by the Chief Election Commissioner of Madhya Pradesh, the Tata Motors Territory Manager of Bhopal and the Dealership owner.
Once the flag was waved by the chief guest, the Superdrive Nanos made their way down the long ramp. It was a great sight to see the Nanos one behind the other making their way out. Post this, the press team from the regional and national dailies soaked in the comforts of the Nano for a brief while before returning back into town.
Nagpur, here we come!!

Chief Election Commissioner of Madhya Pradesh flags off Nano Superdrive from Mechmen Motors, Bhopal!
Tata Nano brings its customers together at Bhopal!
The evening of June 5, there was an event held exclusively for the customers of Tata Nano. This event was held at Hotel Ranjith Lake View in Bhopal.
The agenda of the event was to bring together all the Nano customers under one roof and let them share their experiences with the Nano in the open forum.
Since this was a family event, a lot of extra curricular activities were provided for. A lot of contests where held. Kids could take part in Nano jigsaw, Nino dice and other games. It was a very well organized and interactive event.
While, young girls and women alike could colour their hands in what was called “The Nano Mehendi”. This event ended on a bright note with dinner and some refreshing music.

92.7 Big FM Radio team and the Nano Superdrive!
The 92.7 Big FM radio team from Bhopal were giving their listeners a great opportunity to come, see and sit in the Nano.
So, while the photo shoot by the lake side was happening, we were joined by the 92.7 Big FM team and some selected winners.
This entire team got a great opportunity to check out all the Superdrive Nanos and sit and drive in the confines of a selected few. Finally, the Big FM team presented them with some gift packets for winning their contest.
The Nano Superdrive is in the city of lakes today!
Bhopal is titled the city of lakes and very aptly indeed. It is extremely green near the lake and the lake itself offers some respite from the hot winds that blow across this city.
And in line with this theme, our third photo shoot spot for the day was by the lake and some pretty gardens.
This is the landmark where we saw the Nanos get a lot of attention. People would park their vehicles nearby and come over to examine the Superdrive Nanos.
A couple of interested people even got to test drive the car out here as the roads were relatively free.
Nano Photo shoot at Moti Masjid, Bhopal!
After visiting Birla Mandir, the Nano Superdrive cavalry drove to the other important landmark in the city, Moti Masjid.
Moti Masjid is an old mosque situated in the heart of the city. And, since it is in the heart of the city, the roads are narrow and the traffic can be quite messy too.
This forced us to park our Nanos on the road opposite to the Moti Masjid and set up our photo shoot here.
In spite of all the messy traffic, a good portion of the vehicles and the people passing by stopped for a while to admire the Nano and take photos of it.
Many people had questions too. These questions were answered by the Tata Motors team from Mechmen Motors, Bhopal.

Extended Photo Session: Day 2 of the White Route
Lunch Pit Stop enroute to Bhopal!
It was a big lunch party. In the group, we had 2 lucky winners who got to drive the Nano on the highway, press from national and regional dailies and the entire White Route team.
The pit stop was at Shristhi restaurant and club, about an hour and a half away from Indore.
It was a bright and beautiful day, though a tad too warm. The location was pretty and all these conditions brought together in what culminated as a long and exciting photo session.
