Chevrolet Mantra
A hatch back for Indian youth. The concept is inspired from the Indian dance/art Kadhakali face. Its dynamic lines and curves are reflected in the concept "Mantra"(magic/spell.)
The wrap around spoiler is inspired from the "thaadi"(white beard in kadhakali make up). The dynamic lines around the eyes also has influenced the front fascia design of Mantra. The floating positioning of fog lamps and the indicator lights gives it a new look!
X-Bike
This concept was shortlisted to the finals(Top 10) of Automotive Design Challenge 2010 conducted by SIAM(Society of Indian Automobile manufacturers)
The theme of the competition was "Personal mobility for urban India- 2016"
This vehicle is designed to cater to India in the future. The ever increasing traffic problems has resulted in the basic necessity that the vehicle should have the minimum footprint. The X-bike has a very small footprint while on the move and is reduced to half in parked condition.The X-bike is styled for the youth of the future. The lean profile of the vehicle makes it easier to move through the traffic. The X-bike is powered by an electric motor and hence has zero emissions
A 1:5 scale physical model was made which shows the mechanism also.

GTE 404
This was one of the self initiated personal project. The brief of the project was fixed as to design a modern racing car with the theme of vintage racer. The modelling was done in Rhinoceros and image renderings in Vra. The video was rendered in Autodesk Showcase and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro

Dart
Dart, the racing cycle is for the people who demand style and performance. The concept is designed with unique dynamic shaped frame with light weight alloys and carbonfibre body
Tilting trike.
This was my B.tech final year project. This was done by a team of four.
The project was to design and fabricate a tilting tricycle. The vehicle has three wheels but can be ridden like two wheeler as it tilts. Since a component of weight is used to compensate the centrifugal force, it is more stable and has a higher turning speed than conventional three wheelers. Various mechanisms were explored in ProE. Strength needed for various members were found out and manufactured with the closest available components.
