I'm focused on creating impactful solutions in the area of electric mobility.
For more than a decade I have honed my skills in electric two wheeler design. Most notably I was Chief Designer and Co-Founder of NIU Technologies and responsible for the highly successful products N1 and M1. Most recently I've designed products for well known clients such as KTM. Husqvarna, Bajaj, Yadea and Lime. I also enjoy helping up-coming Startups improve their success by creating engaging and unique designs. Some of the recent startups I have helped are Dance and Nimbus.
