PRAVAIG INTERCEPTOR

Driving what is a potential game changer as an EV - not just for India but globally too!

I've always believed that the birth of a new automobile is a special moment. Once a vehicle goes into serial production and on sale it all feels very routine, but the completion of a new vehicle's development process will always feel special, especially for the engineering team behind it. I've always seen the joy on the faces of the engineers when they see us ride or drive the automobiles they've spent years developing and also the excitement with which they await our feedback. As journalists and enthusiasts, it's also a joy for us and a privilege even, to drive a new automobile before the rest of the world! That said, few things match the excitement of getting to drive something that's out of the ordinary and yet to even go into production, like the Pravaig Interceptor.

Pravaig commenced operations a decade ago and is the brainchild of Dhaval Khullar and Siddharth Bagri, the CTO and CEO respectively, while Ram Divedi is the CSO. Pravaig announced its foray into the Indian automobile space as an EV maker just a couple of years ago but the thought was seeded back in 2010 and the founders were quick to realise that EVS are the future and the way to go. It isn't very often that we all try to break free from the shackles of convention, do we? But when we do, results are usually very interesting. And the Pravaig Interceptor is the result of an attempt to create something different and be able to stand out, especially given that EVs have been quick to become mainstream in India as well, not just globally.
