आपल्या सुरेल आवाजाने प्रेक्षकांना मंत्रमुग्ध करणारी गायिका 'सावनी रविंद्र' राष्ट्रीय पुरस्काराविषयी सांगते, ''आज मला या नामांकीत राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार वितरण सोहळ्यात गौरवण्यात आले. त्यामुळे माझा आनंद गगनात मावत नाही आहे. मी हा पुरस्कार माझ्या दोन महिन्यांच्या मुलीला समर्पित करते. ती माझ्यासाठी लकी चार्म आहे. अर्थातच माझ्या सर्व गुरूजनांचे आशीर्वाद, माझ्या आई-वडीलांचे कष्ट आणि कुटूंबीय यांचा यामध्ये खूप मोठा वाटा आहे. त्यांच्या मार्गदर्शनामुळे मी आजवर माझ्या आयुष्यात यश संपादन करू शकले."

सावनी राष्ट्रीय चित्रपट पुरस्कार वितरण सोहळ्यातील अनुभवाविषयी सांगते, "खरतर 'रान पेटलं' या गाण्यासाठी मला राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार मिळाला. त्यामुळे मी माझ्या भावना शब्दात व्यक्त करू शकत नाही. त्या गाण्यामध्ये एका आईचं मनोगत दाखवलं आहे. जेव्हा मी गाणं गायलं होतं. त्यावेळी माझं लग्नही झालं नव्हतं. परंतु आज मी एका आईच्या भूमिकेत आहे. आणि आज त्या गाण्यासाठी राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार घेण्यासाठी मी माझ्या दोन महिन्याच्या मुलीला घेऊन दिल्लीला आली आहे. जेव्हा ही राष्ट्रीय पुरस्काराची बातमी माझ्यापर्यंत आली तेव्हा मी मातृत्वाच्या उंबरठ्यावर होते. आणि आता मी आई झाले आहे. एका आईनेच गायलेल्या गाण्यासाठी मला हा पुरस्कार मिळाला. त्यामुळे हा पुरस्कार माझ्यासाठी खूप स्पेशल आहे. हा पुरस्कार मला उपराष्ट्रपती एम.वेंकय्या नायडू यांच्या हस्ते देण्यात आला. माझ्यासाठी हा क्षण खूप अभिमानाचा होता. मी आजवरच्या इतक्या वर्षांच्या प्रामाणिकपणे केलेल्या मेहनतीचं फळ देवाने आज मला दिलं आहे, अशी भावना मनात होती."

पुढे ती सांगते, "बार्डो चित्रपटातील संगितकार रोहन - रोहन यांचे मी मनापासून आभार मानते. कारण मी काहीतरी वेगळं करू शकते. हा विश्वास त्यांनी माझ्यावर दाखवला. हे गाणं माझ्या नेहमीच्या आवाजापेक्षा फारचं वेगळं आहे. मराठी मातीतील अस्सल अहिराणी भाषेत हे गाणं आहे. मला अजूनही तो क्षण आठवतो, जेव्हा संगितकार रोहन - रोहन यांच्या घरच्या सेटअपवर हे गाणं आम्ही रेकॉर्ड केलं होतं. अत्यंत भावूक करणारं हे गाणं आहे. राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार मिळाल्यामुळे आता जबाबदारी वाढली आहे. आजवर मी ज्यापद्धतीने गाणी गायली त्याहीपेक्षा अजून जास्त मेहनत करून प्रेक्षकांना आवडतील अशी उत्तमोत्तम गाणी गाण्याचा मी कायम प्रयत्न करेन. या पुरस्काराच्या रूपात कौतुकाची थाप मला मिळाली असं वाटतं. अशीच भारतीय अभिजात संगीताची सेवा माझ्याकडून घडो. हीच सदिच्छा.''

The world to witness the launch of India’s fastest car ever, a lightest electric hypercar, Ekonk

 Vazirani Automotive, one of India’s innovative startups is all set to launch, one of a kind, expression of art, Ekonk.

Ekonk in the Indian scriptures signifies the beginning of the divine light. The big bang.

“For us, Ekonk signifies our real beginning, where for the first time design and innovation

comes together. It’s our first vehicle that’s ‘alive’.”- Chunky Vazirani

 

After working for automotive giants like Rolls-Royce and Jaguar, Chunky Vazirani moved to Mumbai and founded Vazirani in 2015. The vision was to create next generation electric vehicles and technology that would put India on the world map of extreme vehicles.

Having launched India’s first hypercar concept, ‘Shul’ at the Goodwood Festival in the U.K, he earned the honor of creating the first HyperCar of India and to supersede his expectations, Chunky Vazirani gives to the world a new single-seater, spaceship looking car that claims to be not just the fastest car ever built in India but one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world. The car also tests the company’s unique battery solution that replaces the century-old complex liquid cooling tech. 

 

Biomimicry (studying how animals and humans use breathing to regulate their body temperature) combined with some ancient Indian manufacturing techniques resulted in the invention of the DiCo technology. DiCo enables the batteries to cool directly with the air, as opposed to needing liquid cooling that most manufacturers including Tesla use to keep its batteries cool. Vazirani's new technology makes EVs lighter, faster, safer and cost effective. Most importantly, it also increases the range of EVs.

It is designed to be one of the most fluid cars aerodynamically, having one of the lowest drag coefficients for vehicles of its kind. That’s majorly why the rear wheels of the car are covered. It sets itself apart with its innovative battery efficiency and full carbon fiber body that keeps the weight down. Weighing overall 738kgs, it is very light, especially for an electric vehicle, and with a power output of 722hp, almost achieving the golden, one is to one, power to weight ratio.

 

The vehicle is developed end-to-end by Vazirani Automotive and has been tested at the recently inaugurated Naxtrax high-speed facility near Indore to achieve a top speed of 309KMPH. Acceleration from 0-100kmph is a mere 2.54 seconds.

Its magnificent design, chic body, and world-class tech make Chunky Vazirani a pioneer in the country and the world. The technology and learnings from Ekonk will be seen in the production version of the Shul, which the brand is gearing for. After which, Ekonk might also see limited production for customers to purchase.

Speaking about Ekonk, Chunky Vazirani, Founder and CEO of Vazirani-Automotive shares, “With the advent of electric vehicles, companies around the world have to start from a blank canvas. This is the perfect time for India to innovate, develop and pioneer this EV era.”
