Hybrid vehicle is low on cost and is environment friendly. At the conclusion, comprehensive presentation showing all aspects of product development including trend research, demographics, market analysis, ideation, vehicle design and digital model was made.

                          Second proposal was named as "Megla". It was purely a technological concept where the body of the Super-SUV was made out of a special transparency changing material. The material had the ability to change its transparency levels at the will of the owner. It targeted those customers who wanted to be seen yet aloof.  Single handedly I conceptualized and designed the complete vehicle and it was presented to Aston Martin.
