- His initiation to the automotive world began at an early age, ever since he got hold of the 1994 edition of the Daily Express World Car Guide. Completely mesmerised by the spectacle of an automobile, there was no going back for him.

As a result, he found his sojourn at autoX with other, like-minded petrolheads with an aim of instilling the same passion into fellow enthusiasts.
