About

At V3Cars, Mahesh turns this lens into clear and engaging reports. He uncovers telling details, evaluates cars beyond the obvious and brings fresh angles to automotive conversations so readers learn to appreciate the charm of machines that deserve more attention.

Over the years Mahesh has built a keen eye for spotting vehicles that punch above their weight. His appreciation for clever engineering, value-driven design and inventive thinking shapes how he evaluates products and helps him surface stories others miss.

Mahesh wears the all-rounder hat at V3Cars, blending writing and motor vehicles — cars as well as motorcycles — into a single passion. He is drawn to compact, quirky and underrated machines that are full of character and a few lovable annoyances. It is no surprise that the Multix, Nano, Comet, Windsor and Navi rank high on his list of favourites.
