Since childhood, I have always liked building machines and automobiles. But after 4 to 5 years of my engineering, I was clueless about how to enter the automotive design domain. Then mantra happened. I enrolled in the 6-month 'automotive design & research' course.
My portfolio was shared with an OEM. I cracked the first interview because the vehicle the company was designing was identical to my final project at Mantra [An earthquake rescue vehicle].
