Start posting your questions, folks. Tagging @#-Link-Snipped-#, @#-Link-Snipped-#, @#-Link-Snipped-#, @#-Link-Snipped-# , @#-Link-Snipped-# , @#-Link-Snipped-# .

Has Vardenchi expanded to any other motorcycle(s) in all these years apart from Royal Enfield?

What marketing strategies are being employed currently @ Vardenchi? How effective are the bikes customized for a particular event/company (Sunburn, Red-Bull) in attracting customers?

How did 'OMG! Oh My God' happen? (That was seriously great marketing, even if indirect. I personally came to know of Vardenchi post that film)

Growing a company to the ranks of 'manufacturer' from a 'customization company' within a span of 8 years is HUGE. [HASHTAG]#respect[/HASHTAG]. Some special milestones you'd like to list out for our engineers here?

There are not many bike-customization enterprises in India. Vardenchi probably pioneered it, and then there's Old Delhi Motorcycles which is doing some really good work. Any other company which Vardenchi considers a potential competitor?

This is coolest things in Bike machinery I ever heard in India.
Here I found a video of how things done


Q0: When you thought "this" thing can turn into a business (specially in Indian context) and any moment you thought it will not work but you were overcome and made it into today to this height?

Q1: What are possibility of a common 150/200 cc bikes can turn into awesome looking bike?

Q2: When we are going to see Batpod functional bike made in India 😁

Q1)Have films like ghost rider or batman influenced in youd customization process?

1. How was you feel when you rode your first bike Yamaha RD 350?
2. Why do you more concentrating on Choppers? Have any idea to change the shape in future?

5. What are the design and strength aspects considered in Vardenchi? Is FEA,CFD or anything else is used for designing?

Hi, Mr. Akshai Varde. I really like your work, superb stuff! 👍

One question that i'd like to ask you is would you consider modifying scooters like the Vespa and Honda Dio to custom grade quality as well?

@#-Link-Snipped-# and @#-Link-Snipped-#
Could you please tag more people in this thread who you think would be interested in asking more questions?

What was the thought of changing the 'Mumbai Motorcycle Company' in 'Vardenchi'; making it Globalize?

Congratulations ! for your Engagement with 'Sameera Reddy'; Do you any plans to join her on big screen on one your favorite Verdanchi customized bike?

Driving a lengthier bike is difficult then driving a smaller size. In most of your customized bikes, you had increased the lengths; I haven't seen a one in which you had decreased the length and showcase a unique design concept to world? Is there any technical challenge in that?

Who designs your customized bikes, 'you' yourself?

Most of your customized bikes are custom made Royal Infields. Have you ever taken a challenge of modifying a 'Honda 250VTR' or 'Ducati' - a Low or very high end bikes?

Ever thought of customizing a car; to give a challenge to James bond cars 😀?

Do you modify the bikes just look wise, or you have plans to modify them technology wise as well (As shown in Hollywood / Bollywood movies with fancy features)?

Looking for more questions. @#-Link-Snipped-# - I think you might want to ask a few questions to Mr. Varde.

Hi!
I came to know about you through TiEcon. I have been following your work since then n recently had a chance to see one of your creations in flesh. Let me take the opportunity to congratulate you first. Its pretty impressive engineering that you put in your bikes. I'm a bike fanatic, follow OCC, Gas Monkey and Chopper City.
Q: where do you source your parts from?
Q: another person I'm a fan of is Khalidaro Designs. They do some amazing stuff too. But still a lot undercover. What contributed to your upward drift?
Q: do you have a technical team or a passionate (non tech) team?
Q: do you engineer your bikes or it just builds up with trail n error?

P.S. I'm building India's first functional Batpod. Would love to have your suggestions on the project. cc: @#-Link-Snipped-#
