2:1 Model
NOTE
The inception of NAJA happened during a basic model making course in college. The brief given to us was to simply create an exact model of any product. I had always dreamed of designing a concept bike and saw this as the perfect opportunity.
NAJA is a labor of love.
This course was guided by Mr. Dilip Telore who encouraged me through this ambitious journey.
Having grown up in the culturally rich land of Jaipur, storytelling practically runs through my veins. I have always been surrounded by folklore and thus, traditional narratives and mythology naturally come as a source of inspiration for my work.
I aim to reimagine our rich past and to make it relevant again.
