[@SaketNampell]

Wow.. I didnt know that there is a situation like this! Is this very common??

[@michaelschwartz3208]

@@SaketNampell yes very common especially amongst indians they are super rude mostly some are nice. One guy block me on instagram and LinkedIn recently. Iitians especially from IDC are overtly racist and classist because they get more than 50 lakh salaries

[@DarshBarot-sn1hy]

DC HAS THE WORST DESIGN LANGUAGE AND BEST CUSTOM MODIFICATION, DC AVANTI WAS HAVING RANDOM LINES IN NAME OF AGGRESSIVE DESIGN , HOWEVER ITS RENAULT DUSTER MODIFICATION LOOKED REALLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME

[@Surya76851]

We have to understand he was the first to start this industry in our country (17 year ago). Not great as Brasbus or Mansory but atleast he tried. First to build own Indian sports car So, starting everything from scratch is not easy. Instead need to understand the Stupid taxation system for every individual chassis, engine, body ( reason for his Jail). For your information he is also designer of Anston Martin Vintage V8.

[@DarshBarot-sn1hy]

@@Surya76851 I agree but placing any line any where just because that looks cool doesn't makes sense to me (pov: I am talking from Automobile design perspective ) but still he taken effort to transform the industry thus I will have to recognize his efforts. Thanks for response buddy.
