In a fascinating display of innovation and resourcefulness, a man in Bihar spent over Rs 2 lakhs to turn a Tata Nano into a helicopter. The man is now giving the customized vehicles on rent to people who want to make a unique entry into weddings. The person behind the unique innovation has been identified as Guddu Sharma, a resident of Bagaha, Bihar.
Like most groundbreaking innovations, Guddu’s innovation came in the wake of necessity. He saw that there a high demand of helicopters among people who wanted to make a grand entry in their weddings. However, as they were financially constrained, they couldn’t afford to do so. To offer them a unique blend of car and helicopter, Guddu put time and resources and transformed a Tata Nano into a helicopter.
The Facts of the Matter
A simple Google search of the word ‘Jugaad’ would take a person to a Wikipedia entry where the word is defined as a Hindi colloquial term which is “an innovative fix or a simple work-around, a solution that bends the rules, or a resource that can be used in such a way.”
The word simply means a quick and lasting hack or workaround of a problem with the least amount of resources being spent on it. Recently, a man from Bihar has embodied the word after he turned his Tata Nano into a helicopter.

The Eureka Moment for Guddu and Subsequent Work
A mechanic by profession but an innovator by heart, Guddu observed that there was a significant demand of helicopters by grooms, brides and their families, for making a grand entry at their wedding. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, they were not able to take service of a helicopter to make their weddings extra special.
Identifying the problem, and seeing the demand, Guddu chose a Nano car and started working on it. He sourced expensive sensors to give the car desired features of a helicopter.
Over one and a half lakh rupees were spent in making the Tata Nano look like a helicopter. Guddu further said that if he would make a high-tech version of the helicopter, it would cost over two lakh rupees.

Not First Such Innovation
While, Mr. Guddu’s work can be seen astonishingly fresh and something that’s never heard before. He himself agreed that he’s not the first person to innovate something of this sort.
In 2019, a Bihar youth also transformed his Nano into a helicopter. An aspiring pilot, Mithilesh Prasad fulfilled his dream of sitting into an ‘almost-helicopter’, one that he created himself. Prasad incorporated the basic look of a helicopter into a fully functioning helicopter. Although the helicopter he made out of the Nano couldn’t fly, it possessed every helicopter feature, including its main rotor, a tail boom, and the tail rotor. For his innovation, the 12th class pass out spent Rs. 7 lakhs.
