EVs, Aviation, Space

Daksh drove his first car at 16 and hasn't looked back since. His lifelong obsession with cars now fuels every article he writes.
Daksh often goes out of his way to see unique custom builds or rare vehicles in person, a habit sparked years ago when he came across a man-made helicopter in a neighborhood garage.
Over the years, Daksh has connected with popular creators in the automotive and aviation world, turning their stories into engaging, personalized articles.

Experience

Daksh has been writing about cars, tech, and everything in between since 2019, with bylines at places like Supercar Blondie, Valnet, and GRV Media. He's covered everything from EV breakthroughs to flying taxis, always aiming to keep things clear, engaging, and fun. When he's not deep into automotive or tech news, he's geeking out over anime. He even runs his own anime site, The Nerds Junction, where he shares that passion with fellow fans.
