Bio
Samarth Gupta
Vishal is a technically skilled designer with sound knowledge of his subject and a clear purposeful vision alongwith his professional commitments . I’ve been associated with him for the past 5 years when he was employed with Hero Moto Corp and found him to be quite hardworking with effective communication skills and a positive attitude . His strong ability and self-confidence to acknowledge and endorse new ideas based on advanced technology with conviction & compassion has been quite encouraging and has also invoked a lot of trust for himself within his organisation . He always represented his employers best interests and is a valuable asset to his organisation. Vishal is definitely someone who's opinion I would greatly value.

I worked along side Vishal on many concept show and production scooters where he showed vision and drive to make the best possible final product. Throughout the entire design process he showed command of his skills including 2d sketching that leads to knowledgeable guidance in CAD reviews. A good understanding of manufacturing processes sped projects along and a sensitivity to colors, finishes, and materials finished off projects with a sense of style. On a personal level he is a pleasure to work with and a great product development partner.
