Biography

It was a great opportunity to be part of the SAE Formula Hybrid program from India. Formula Hybrid has given a high enrichment to my technical exposure during undergrad engineering.

The Program helped me build a distinctive taste for innovation while also gaining insights into the battery management systems, wireless telemetry and sensor data acquisition.

The best thing about the Formula Hybrid program is its unique platform where engineering students from different nationalities could compete with each other and at the same time, develop skills in teamwork potential, communication and project management.

Biography

Being in FH allowed me to explore the unknown areas of Vehicle development, in Mechanical or Electrical. I was able to align myself with the team development needs and understand the engineering behind each part on the car.

Using various digital tools to reduce our prototype and validation efforts for the car, collaborating as a group to brainstorm and resolve any conflicts in the process, breaking parts during testing and going back to the notebook to find out what went wrong and improve iteratively, were some of the best scenes involved. All these were the important things that allowed me to explore the Automotive industry and to reach out to professionals, explain our FH Car to grasp their attention. Today, each task I do traces back to the immense learning I had from working in the FH group.
