-For the seventh iteration of Deep Orange, the goal is to develop a blank-sheet fully functional vehicle concept for the MINI brand targeting the U.S. market with the BMW Group in Munich as the primary sponsor. The objective is to create a revolutionary MINI technology demonstrator facing the potential requirements to come within the next decade as part of a collaborative real-world educational experience (Deep Orange 7). The project outcome will provide a unique U.S.-centric view on what could be next for MINI in 2025 and beyond.
Deep Orange 7 - MINI reinvented (BMW Group Sponsored)

•	Designed an interface inside the cars which will assist the driver in avoiding collision on the intersections without signals.
•	Considered various factors such as usability, user experience, different screen design and location while providing suggestions for improved assistance.
In-vehicle Interface for intersection collision avoidance system
•	Developed an initial BIW lay-out topology structure which had to meet performance requirements for bending stiffness, torsion stiffness, front and rear crash energy management, passenger compartment structural integrity and mass efficiency
•	Modeled the structure in SolidWorks and analyzed the performance in Hyper mesh.
•	Improved the stiffness values by altering the dimensions and material used for the structural members.
•	Mass compounding was used to estimate the mass of the structure.
Initial development of framework for a body in white (BIW)
•Objective: to design and manufacture an effective system which will prevent the deaths of infants left in the car on a hot sunny day
•Used various project management tools to monitor and control the development of the project like: APQP, PPAP, QFD, AHP, FMEA, Risk assessment etc.
•Modelling was done on SolidWorks. Testing and validation of performance was done.
Designing of Passive Air Cooling for Infant Safety
• Objective: to provide a better transmission solution for the college BAJA SAEINDIA team over the conventional synchromesh gearbox. Infinite gear ratios’ option was selected over others.
• Project involved designing the product and manufacturing it within limited time.
• Modelled of the product in CATIA. Testing and validation of performance was done.
• Manufactured the entire system using different machines such as lathe, CNC, shaping machine and milling machine.
Design and development of a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system for an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)

BAJASAEINDIA 2012
• Objective: to compete in the annual BAJA SAEINDIA competition with an ATV designed and manufactured to meet the rigorous competition criteria. 
• The ATV was tested for various parameters such as acceleration, braking, maneuverability and endurance along with other criteria such as design, manufacturing, cost, innovation and safety.
• As a part of roll-cage team, designed, tested and manufactured a roll cage using steel bars. The aim was to keep the vehicle weight below 350 kg. Optimization techniques were used to minimize the number of members along with considering the safety requirements.
• Modelling was done on software CATIA and SolidWorks. Analysis was carried out using ANSYS.
• As part of the braking team, the task was to provide lighter and cheaper braking system than the previous year. 
• Calculating braking force and limiting the braking distance was the main objective. Played with the thickness of the disc brake and tested them to obtain the optimum disc brake thickness and weight combination.
BAJA SAEINDIA 2012
• Objective: to compete in the annual ROBOCON INDIA competition with one manually controlled and one autonomous robot to complete the given tasks within time limit. 
• As part of the structural team, the task was to build a rigid yet lightweight robotic system which will complete the given task efficiently.
• Design and manufacturing process involved iterating and selecting the automaton parameters like basic robotic anatomy, packaging, material used for the structure, degree of freedom, type of arms used. CATIA for modelling and ANSYS for simulation was used.
