Chandan Kumar, the main designer of the Chandra Rath, talks about the vehicle in crisp technical parlance which he picked up in the last two years at DCE. The fact that he pulled a rickshaw in Allahabad till three years ago only reassures that crossing hurdles to make it big is a way of life for him. Chandan had left his home in Sonebhadra, a village in Uttar Pradesh when he was 16. His father, trying to make ends meet as a smalltime contractor, and with five other sons and four daughters, Chandan's higher studies were never a priority.
