Priyadarshi Nanu Pany, founder and CEO of CSM Tech, Lagna Panda, chief human resources officer of the company, and Manu Santhanam, dean of industry contribution and sponsored research at IIT-Madras, signed the MOU.

Raftar’s efforts have the potential to revolutionise the passenger vehicle industry, as well as heavy vehicles, telemetry, vehicle monitoring, and much more, according to Pany. “This group is a force to be reckoned with, and I urge them to continue working towards advancing the nation. The next major automobile industry innovation should originate in India, he added.

The team has won the Formula Bharat three times, the premier motorsports competition for educational institutions in the country, more than any other competitor. It has proven its worth in international competitions.
