Sundar Sankaravadivel
Design Engineer in Pune, India
I am a Design Engineer working at DC Design - makers of the Avanti, India's first ever homegrown sportscar. My primary responsibility within the engineering team is to design and develop various components of the Avanti using Catia V5. Apart from that, I also supervise prototyping trials and ensure that the most optimised design is implemented on the production line. From time to time, I also work with the vast customisation side of the business when necessary. I have to my credit two prototyping projects with the shortest delivery time ever in the company. All this in the short span of 1 year!
But despite what my designation suggests, I am an engine man through and through. And I would love to get back to state-of-the-art, hardcore powertrain engineering. As an MSc Automotive and Motorsport Engineering graduate from Brunel University, UK, I am extremely competent in research, development and testing of new emission control methods in addition to optimisation of existing solutions and test strategies. Cars, motorsport, engine technology and experimentation have fuelled my imagination since childhood, and now they form the core of my professional interests as well.
On the personal side, I am an amateur photographer and enjoy shooting sunsets and landscapes. Music is a big part of my existence as well - I've been a keyboardist all my life. Driving, reading, DIY, sketching are other activities I enjoy in my spare time.
So now that you've had a glimpse of what I'm all about, it's over to you - if you have opportunities for someone like me in the powertrain sector, or know someone else who does, I would love to hear from you! You can contact me in several ways that are listed as links at the bottom of the page. Do get in touch - I am looking forward to it!
