Established a new agro-tech start-up (NeSa Farms) in 2020 to integrate my family business of conventional farming into Hi-tech Vertical Aeroponic Farming.

• Selection of the suitable powertrain to meet customer requirements • Provide support on integration to customers on TM4 Electric Powertrain and other EV products • Provide engineering support to marketing teams with training, problem resolution and documentation • Responsible for exploring global collaborations and tie-ups for Future EV Technology & Subsystems like On Board Chargers (OBC), DC-DC Converter, Battery Management Systems (BMS), Ultracapacitors (UCs) and Auxiliary Drive Units

Modelling of Wheel Slip for Traction Control for 2WD Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) in MATLAB. This thesis aimed to study and understand the fundamental physics of tire-road contact (contact patch), different forces acting on tyres and vehicles and estimating the friction coefficient through a formulation crucial to understanding traction control. The wheel dynamic and powertrain models have been developed and combined in SIMULINK to carry out the simulation.

• Coordinated and managed automotive clients like TATA, BAJAJ and Mahindra as Junior Engineer in Design Department • 3D modelling and drafting using CATIA • Making corrections to the drawings as requested by the senior staff • Provided alternative design concepts to meet customer requirements • Created and updated the database of design records for future reference purposes
