Mohan P. Nagarajan
Mohan P. Nagarajan the Chariman and Managing director of Sidvin Core-Tech a Bangalore based Engineering Services Company is the force and the spirit behind 'TEAM SIDVIN INDIA' and has been involved in Rallying since the 80’s.
Mohan’s passion for rallying was from the days when rallying used to be over 1000s of kilometers, where a driver and co-driver had to drive days and nights to cover the distance. Those were the days when helmets and sports shoes were the only protection a rally crew had. According to Mohan and his fellow rally mates from the 80’s they have seen destiny at close quarters many a times.
Mohan is an entrepreneur in his heart and is the force behind the success of Sidvin Core-Tech (India). He has pitched India’s engineering talent against the best in the world and has brought laurels for the company from across the world. In a short span of eight years Sidvin has moved from strength to strength and has established itself as a premier player in the world of Oil & Gas Engineering. Sidvin holds 'Values & Integrity' as the most important factors in growth and stability.
Mohan’s passion for rallying & the passion for Flying Indian Flag High in the world combined with Naren’s determination to play at the pinnacle of world rallying was the birth of ‘Team Sidvin India’ the first INDIAN Team in the world rally championship. This is the first time that the Indian Flag will be flying in the World Rally Championship Events.
“It has been a constant endeavor of mine, and everyone in our organization, Sidvin Core-Tech, to promote our country and our talents, be it in engineering, technology, arts or sports. TSI was created out of the same passion. It is very exciting for all of us to have Naren drive for us and Tommi Makinen Racing Ltd., prepare our cars. I am sure that we will produce good results with this excellent team. We have taken the first step to have an Indian World Rally Champion. We are looking forward for support from the entire nation in our endeavor.”
