The Ekonk signifies the beginning of the divine light from the Indian scriptures.

Vazirani Will Put India on the World Map for Next Generation Electric Technologies

The brand’s head honcho, Chunky Vazirani, says that “It’s our first vehicle that’s ‘alive’.” Chunky Vazirani, after working for prestigious brand’s such as Jaguar and Rolls Royce, moved to Mumbai and founded Vazirani in 2015. Vazirani Automotive aims to put India on the map of next-generation electric vehicles and technology. The brand has already taken the first step by launching the Vazirani Shul at the Goodwood Festival in the U.K. The car earned the recognition of building the first HyperCar of India.

The Vazirani Ekonk will give the world a new single-seater hypercar with an electric powertrain. The brand has revealed that the Vazirani Ekonk will be a spaceship looking car and boasts of being the fastest ever built in India and the fastest accelerating vehicle in the world.
