Lee Keshav
Life is just as extraordinary as you believe it to be, and Lee Keshav, a Design Leader On Weekdays and Racing Driver On Weekends, has been writing his extraordinary life story since the age of 16. Subsequent years were a roller-coaster of success and failure for Lee, as he kick-started his journey in the racing arena soon after taking professional training in Thailand. Later that year, he was invited to a selection event by the prestigious Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup in Spain. Even though he couldn’t make it to the academy, he never backed out.
The lows fueled Keshav’s dreams and he switched from superbikes to cars, which worked wonders for him as he earned the title of India’s 'Fastest and Fittest Young Driver’ at the highly competitive JK Tyre Volkswagen Motorsport Polo R Cup championship.
Since then, he has competed in several top-tier championships, namely JK Formula BMW and MRF Formula Ford 1600 championship, and garnered multiple wins and podiums under his belt. Keshav also managed a last-minute entry in the highly acclaimed MRF Challenge winter championship, which marked his debut in international racing and made him one of the fastest-progressing drivers from India. He carried this momentum and started competing against the likes of Freddie Hunt, Mathias Lauda, and other top racing drivers from around the world.
When Keshav is not racing, he adorns the hat of a successful Product Design Leader in the startup space. He has been fascinated by tech and even founded his App Design firm when he was just 16. There is no stopping him, as he joined Hike Messenger as a Senior Product Designer at just 19. When you have the determination to do something big with your life, you find ways to make things happen, and so did Keshav, when he later went on to lead Product Design for Hike Messenger and Airtel Wynk Music under the mentorship of Kavin Bharti Mittal. Keshav has also successfully led product design teams for other startups in India like OYO Rooms, Foxy India, and most prominently NITI Aayog, where he advised as an industry leader to help build the Women Entrepreneurship Platform.
Lee Keshav is truly a self-made man in every sense. From finding his passion at a young age to investing energy and time in building it from scratch, Keshav has come a long way in his careers – motor racing and product design. Today, while he is getting ready to make a comeback in the racing arena, he is also taking care of the Creative Head role at Rush Gaming Universe.
