About Harsh Solanki

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the Institute of Engineering and Technology DAVV, Indore, with a strong interest in vehicle engineering, product design, and manufacturing.I am an active member of Team Samanvay Racing, the BAJA SAE team of my institute, where I work on the design, manufacturing, and testing of an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) for national level competitions. Through this experience, I have gained hands-on exposure to roll cage manufacturing, material selection, component procurement, and vehicle assembly.I have also been involved in vehicle validation and testing processes including brake test evaluation and system integration during BAJA competitions.My technical interests include vehicle dynamics, CAD design, structural analysis, and product development, and I enjoy solving real-world engineering problems through practical design and manufacturing.Along with engineering, I am also exploring the intersection of technology and business, with an interest in developing skills that combine technical understanding with management and strategic thinking.
