No good ever came from bunking off school was something I heard growing up all the time. However that wasn't the case for Khyati Mody. In fact it was bunking off school that led her to discovering a new passion and skills in driving.

As a child racing was always something Khyati loved, that and Michael Schumacher and his red Ferrari and it is here her love affair with driving began.

It was bunking off school to go karting that led to a chance encounter with India's multiple national champion Rayomand Banajee. He spotted her potential and took her under his wing to coach her. From karting, she progressed to formula racing, autocross, and cross country and rally.

At 22 Khyati Mody, decided to press the accelerator and live her dreams of making a professional career in rally driving.

In our conversation Khyati talks about some of the reactions she has faced from male drivers, including one who refused to take his podium place after she beat him.

She also talks about her plans to race in Europe and how she wants to use her platform to encourage more women to take up the sport.
