My ‘Make in India’ Dream

*Anirudh is pursuing mechanical engineering at Shiv Nadar University
When you look at a car, you’ll see the brand, the colour, the speed, I see it’s heart and soul and wonder how to make it in India. Even as a child I was enamoured by machines, I would visit my relatives’ workshops and look at the machines there and dream about making my own car.

Never give up on your passion

*Anmol is pursuing engineering at Shiv Nadar University

I’ve never understood why sports have to take a backseat in our country, why can’t sports and education go hand in hand. My journey with sports, especially tennis, has really developed my life’s narrative. The most important thing it’s taught me is to deal with failure.

I never wanted to be an engineer

I have always been clear that I wanted to pursue education in my life, I’m very interested in writing.
