"Dans la région du Saurashtra, situé dans le Gujarat, le chhakda, un rickshaw motorisé à trois roues fabriqué localement, fournit un moyen de transport à six milles villages.Ces quelques lignes son extraites de l'excellent livre de Pavan K Varma, Le Défi Indien.
L'engin, qui réunit une moto de marque Bullet, les roues d'une voiture Fiat et une pompe à eau marchant avec un moteur diesel, peut transporter jusqu'à trente passagers et rouler trente-cinq kilomètres avec un seul litre de diesel.
Ce véhicule, qui n'a été que récemment reconnu comme légal par les autorités, intéresse maintenant des acheteurs en Afrique orientale et au Bangladesh"
Megatrend 1: More from Less - A world of limited and depleting resources with increasing demand for those resources through economic growth and increases in population. A need to focus on resource use efficiency.
Anti-trend 1: Less from Less - A world of limited resources and depleting resources, with demand for those resources slowing as people appreciate these limitations. People are turning to multi-functional devices, reusable items and buying experiences and therefore require less products.
Megatrend 2: A Personal Touch – personalisation of products and services. Growth of the services sector of western economies is being followed by a second wave of innovation aimed at tailoring and targeting services.
Anti-trend 2: Reducing Choice – A backlash against too much choice. People shop at ALDI, make choices between only two suppliers (eg Mac or PC) and look for ways of simplifying decision-making.
Megatrend 3: Divergent Demographics – OECD countries are ageing and experiencing lifestyle and diet related health problems. The developing and underdeveloped worlds show high fertility rates and food scarcity.
Anti-trend 3: Growing Global Health – Improved treatments for chronic diseases lead to longer lifespans with better health outcomes. Education and application of technologies within local values in developing world also improve health outcomes and slow fertility growth.
Megatrend 4: On the move – Move to cities and people are increasingly mobile, changing jobs and careers more often, moving house more often, commuting further and travelling more often.
Anti-trend 4: Fulfilment – Young people are urged to follow passions, which lead to a range of jobs, but some consistency in career. New online technologies deliver improved face to face opportunities for connection, leading to less travel.
Megatrend 5: iWorld – digital and natural convergence. Everything in the natural world will have a digital counterpart. Computing power and memory storage are improving rapidly. Many more devices are getting connected to the internet.
Anti-trend 5: Opting out – Not everything will have a digital shadow if sections of the community are able to opt-out.

Aujourd'hui nous sommes 6 milliards sur Terre
1 milliard de riches
2 milliards qui aspirent à le devenir
3 milliards de pauvres qui gagnent moins de 2 $ par jour
En 2050, nous serons 9 milliards
environ 2 milliards de riches
entre 2 à 3 milliards qui aspireront à l'être
entre 4 à 5 milliards de pauvres qui resteront très pauvres.
