(L-R: Olena Polishchuk, Tushar Yadav, Varun Bokadia, Srihari Chodagiri, Kay Nikookary, David Inbarajan, Rohit Kajariya, Mayya Babayeva) I was the part of a team who took the task of making the Formula One car model and racing it on the track. There are two things which I would like to share. The good one first - race result, we won all 6/6 races. The ultimate result, team Fantom lost the challenge.
The challenge was not only limited to who wins the race, otherwise Fantom's car is unbeatable, but there were 4 other parameters were involved:
First - Fastest car wins (which was ours for sure)
Second - Team outfits (There is no way anyone can beat us on this)
Third - 7 mins presentation (We screwed-up big time)
Fourth - Corporate Sponsorship (Well, it was kind of tie with Velocity Warriors)
Fifth - Media coverage (Disaster for us, still I think why we completely ignored media)
Being a engineer at FoMoCo and now a Business School Student, completing this daunting task of making a car model from scratch was a great experience I had. This task gave exposure in all areas which are encountered in a life of a business executive. New product development, resourse management, Team building, monitoring various phases of a project, press conferences, dealing with media, building brand, handing sponsors, managing finances..... I throughly enjoyed the stress and sleepless nights we spent over period of 6 weeks.
