Indian auto-rickshaws are well known for their world-class abilities to find ways even on the most crowded streets. Indians, especially in small-town people know that the capacity of auto-rickshaw is a lot more than three people as they state in the user manual. How much do you think an auto-rickshaw can hold? Five people? Eight people? Ten People? Wrong, an entire house!!!
N.G.Arun Prabhu, a 23-year-old young architect from Paramathi-Vellore in Namakka, Tamil Nadu, has proven that the Indians had been grossly underestimating their beloved auto-rickshaw. He has built an entire house on an auto-rickshaw. You must have seen many sleek motor homes, camper, Recreational Vehicles or RVs in many Hollywood movies. They are very popular in western countries. Have you ever seen a Recreational Auto-Rickshaw? Well, now you have. Meet Solo 0.1- the auto-rickshaw 1 BHK!
RVs are not so common in India. The reason is that RVs are very expensive. Desi Indian families have a lot of things to worry about to indulge in the luxuries of buying RVs. However, they do miss having one. Are you one of them? This won’t continue anymore now. Here is a Desi RV that can fit in their budgets. Solo 0.1 is a modified Bajaj Auto-Rickshaw. The best part is it costs about only one lakh rupees!!! However, do not take this as a small-time Indian Jugaad. This RV is an engineering feat and architectural masterpiece. It is a smart packaging technology, fully-loaded with best-in-class technology including a 600-watt solar panel, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, workspace, water heater, toilet, and deck!

India definitely needs more such innovation, creativity, and loads of Jugadu outlook. There are tons of problems out there waiting to strike you as inspiration. All you need is to open your eyes inquisitively.
