The sports scene in India is getting bigger and more diverse than ever, with fans increasingly supporting teams and athletes beyond specific games. One such adrenaline-filled sport gaining traction in the country is motorsport, where Bengaluru-born racer Kush Maini is making waves. Coming from a family deeply rooted in the sport, Maini's journey has been shaped by competition and close relationships with his brother Arjun Maini, the Alpine Academy and the team at Invicta Racing. Maini is going from strength to strength as he climbs the racing ladder-from karting victories to podium finishes in F2. He sat down with ELLE India to share his journey so far and his ambitions to put India on the motorsport map soon.
