Hi Ankit, first of all, tell us a little about yourself, and why you chose a career in design?
I grew up learning only about science and mathematics and by the time I finished my school I was quite fed up of just learning up stuff from the book and then writing it in an exam. When I was young, like many boys I too was crazy about cars. It was however only during my final years at school that I began sketching cars at the back of my notebook while the teacher kept on going with his physics lecture! Once you had decided, how did you go about finding information on how to become a car designer? Just one answer- The internet! I would spend all nights just surfing on the internet, going through forums, etc. I short listed few colleges, went to their respective websites and asked for their prospectus. Then I evaluated my options, and took up the one, I considered the best. What made you choose coming to Europe to study? I think one of the main reasons to choose Europe over USA was that the American automotive market at that time had started to deteriorate. Also, the cost of education
