I have been working on Designing and fabrication of a Go-Kart for a year now. Go-Kart is a single seat open type vehicle meant for racing purposes. Currently the Go-Kart is in Fabrication phase. Design is a very important part in making a vehicle and every single part of the Kart needs to be designed and then tested using various CAD and Simulation softwares like Solid Works and Fusion 360. Simulation involves testing the parts/components by creating similar life like situations the kart is gonna face on the software and then check whether the part/component designed works under the conditions. This is a long and iterative process until the final design is chosen. The drivers safety is to be kept in mind and the kart is tested for various impacts(front, rear and side). You may get an idea of what the kart looks like from the following image.

Apart from this I also work in Enactus and currently i am the Vice-President of Enactus JMI. Enactus is an International NPO which works for the upliftment of downtrodden by creating sustainable business opportunities for them. We have a lot of projects going on right now. The most important project which i have undertaken right now is making our University waste free. The most important part of this project is recycling the plastic waste generated in the campus and create a network of people based in our community to take care of the recycling process. The main objective is to provide a living for as many people as possible. One of the products made by our community from waste plastic are mats/mattresses which are being distributed to the people living below poverty line by our parter NGO.

If i have some free time left, I go the Snooker Club and spend some time playing there. I love the game and try to follow every tournament going on. My favourite player is Ronnie O'Sullivan because of his effortless gameplay(it seems effortless because he is the best) and would love to meet him some day.
