FIRST STEPS

Akshai has been into motorcycle customization for almost four years. Being a bike fanatic from since childhood, he traces his first steps in the business. “I was always interested in motorcycles. I had an RD350 when I was 16 years-old. I was working as a flight attendant with Jet Airways for three years, and in my last year of flying, I bought myself a Royal Enfield and started customizing it. I started with very basic aspects, like changing the head lamps and the handle bar, putting a wider tank and a slightly wider tire in the back. I really started to enjoy it. That’s when I started really customizing it in detail and I got a lot of appreciation for it. People started approaching me to modify their bikes too. That’s when I got into it as a business, and we’ve been growing the business ever since.”
