Hi, I am Sai Pranav Gandhi, Team India Driver
I have always admired F1 cars because of their advanced technology and cutting- edge engineering design! I am excited to be the driver of Team India and am looking forward to experiencing the same thrill and rush that F1 drivers feel when they drive a car. I am very passionate about robotics and STEM. As a kid, building toys piqued my curiosity and it sparked a passion for engineering in me. Since then, I have continued pursuing engineering and taken part in many competitions working hard and tenaciously each time. I am very excited to be a part of this team and will use this opportunity to work hard and give my best!!!

Saieesh Gandhi
Namaste as a STEM advocate and the driving force behind Goa’s robotics revolution, my journey began in 2019, fueled by a desire to spark my son’s interest in robotics. This ignited a passion that led him to mentor numerous teams in prestigious competitions like FLL, WRO, Makex, FTC, and FRC. Witnessing the transformative power of STEM on my son and his peers, I founded Legogoa, a community club dedicated to fostering STEM awareness and introducing competitive robotics to Goa. My current role as manager for Team India mirrors the responsibilities of overseeing a high-performance F1 team, where strategic decision-making, resource management, and fostering a collaborative environment are crucial.
