Genius Jagjit Singh converted his second-hand Maruti into a convertible sports car!
We all have dreamt of owning such drooling sports car one day, Jagjit did too. But he made that dream turn into a reality by fashioning a sports car out of Maruti 800.
Being 17 yrs old in the industry, this automobile businessman managed this feat like it was no big deal.
There has been over 170 modified vehicles that he reworked for people with disabilities.
In an interview with Youth Ki Awaaz, Singh said,
“It took me nearly three years to make this and has cost me a bomb as it entailed certain types of dyes beside the opportunity cost. With such a hole in my pocket, I am looking for an external investor to fund this project and scale it up commercially.”
He further added,
“We have got overwhelming response from people and everyone wants to buy this but we are stuck in bureaucratic quagmire. To enable mass production, we need necessary government clearances, which will be costly, plus the cost of necessary tools entailed for mass production. Now, if we will spend so much money on just approvals, the dream of giving a sports car to the student at an affordable price goes for a toss.”
