From Sasha Mirchandani to Vijay Shekhar Sharma: Biz leaders on their super-heroic drives

The British secret agent’s Aston Martin or the superhero’s Batmobile — given an option, which one would you like to take for a spin? Top leaders choose their pick. And it appears, class races ahead of brute power, in cars at least.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma
Founder, One97 Communication
“Bond’s car because I was born on 007 June. Also, I like speed, so Aston Martin is just the car for my style.”



Vivek Prabhakar Founder, Chumbak Design
“I’ve admired Batman ever since I was a kid. The Batmobile will always be my pick. Not only is it a welldesigned, sleek car, but it has also undergone multiple iterations — from the unimaginable in the comics to possessing exceptional functionalities in the latest series of movies. I’d love to own one someday.”



Nithin Kamath Founder, Zerodha
“I’ll pick Bond’s Aston Martin because it is street legal. So I’d get to drive the car instead of turning it into a showpiece. Also, it’s a much better-looking car.”



Divyank Turakhia Founder, Media.net
“Why pick one, when you could have them all? If I had to pick just one, then I have no plans of going to any war zone, and hence I can skip the Batmobile. It would have to be the ’62 Corvette ‘Lola’ from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It can fly. It’s a classic. It has sentimental value and a story.”



Sasha Mirchandani Founder, Kae Capital
“I would pick Bond’s Aston Martin. The Batmobile is a very in-your-face-kind of car. The Aston Martin is a far more powerful, stylish in an understated manner kind of a car.”
