At
Ross Nanotechnology, we have developed a super hydrophobic coating that completely repels water and heavy oils. Any object coated with our
NeverWet™ coating literally cannot be touched by liquid. Any liquid placed on this coating is repelled and simply rolls off without touching the underlying surface. Not only is this
amazing to see, but it solves a myriad of problems.

CK Prahalad, Paul and Ruth McCracken
Distinguished University Professor of Corporate Strategy at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business in the University of Michigan
passed away on 16th April 2010 after a brief illness. His core
competency was strategic insight and vision and his
legacy to the world, the
concept of the
Bottom of the Pyramid, which changed
the way big
business viewed the teeming, huddled poverty stricken masses of the
former third world as
micro-innovators, micro-
producers and so, micro-consumers in
their own right. Among others,
his work inspired Ratan Tata as the
Nano turned conventional wisdom of automobile manufacturing on its head and
paved the way for Indian industry
to focus on the
high volume/low margin potential of their domestic
market. In
2009, he was named the "
world's most influential thinker" .
Though not
uncriticized for
his theories on the
Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, one can acknowledge his role in overcoming the "
tyranny of dominant logic" that the poor should
not simply be recipients of charity but
demanding customers in
challenging environments. RIP, sir. {
