Mohit Soni has spent 14 years (2024) in the Indian automotive industry learning it and understanding ICE engines specially. He loves his four wheels too. The first set of motorized wheels was a Kinetic ZX scooter, which he is still fond off, but after a decade it had to go. He has an uncanny set of appreciation and love for naked motorcycles and hence has owned Pulsar 135, Pulsar 200 Dtsi. Mohit has owned a Gen 1 and Gen 3 Duke 390. The cars of his life include the Maruti 800, Hyundai Santro, Chevrolet Beat and now the Volkswagen Jetta. Mohit Soni has been running ThrustZone for almost nine years now and has constantly tested cars and bikes of most segments and spectrums.
Holding a bureaucrat license since a decade, Mohit hasn’t spent a single day without riding/driving anything at his disposal. He is what the world of media industry calls “Editor-in This/That” at Thrust Zone. The responsibilities have changed a bit, but he dreams of being at the track and becoming a motorcycle racer someday haven’t changed. Something that fortuitously bought him here and is what he is today because of it. Mohit, is also a die hard motorcycle fanatic, a secret scooter enthusiast and admirer of cars.
Omkar Jadhav Omkar has been in our team since day one, that is 2016. Friendship with Mohit runs way beyond that. He was the very first employee at ThrustZone.com who helped us with road tests in Pune and sometimes in Mumbai as well. A professional hustler, with strong work ethic has had him stay in our team for the last either years in our team. Working with Omkar for the entire team that has come and gone by has always been surprisingly easy. A motorcycle enthusiast to the core, his unique approach towards testing and validation of products has earned him recognition not just at ThrustZone but within the auto fraternity.
Taher.V is always seen commuting on various motorcycles that he has owned or borrowed from the Editor. Meanwhile, he has also finished IT engineering and learned how to make microchips at the same time. An avid foodie, loves his buttermilk and chicken in all possible way. Taher also loves all small displacement motorcycles, doesn’t believe in large capacity motorcycles, because that doesn’t help with commuting on a daily basis.
Scooters too don’t gel well with his idea as it feels like a ‘chair with two wheels and a motor’ for him till now. However, what specific set of knowledge that attracted us to get him on board is his massive attention to detail that he displays once he is done riding any motorcycle or car. Plans to have all motorcycles under 200cc in his garage one day and ride everyone when he’s in a mood that suits the character of a motorcycle. He is our Road-Tester for motorcycles and cars.
To sum up, we think we have the best team onboard to get you the best possible content, stories, pictures and of course to pen our off-the-chart ideas for you. God speed to the team!
