Soumya Saxena

About Author

Soumya has been in the automotive industry for over 12 years, starting her career as an engineer but then heeding her creative interests to become a content producer and editor. In the 7+ years of being an engineer at NBC Bearings, Soumya worked on setting up assembly lines and retrofitting machines. Part of her job also included writing technical manuals. 

A storyteller by passion, Soumya saw an opportunity to express her creative side as a copy editor at CarWale in 2020. Here, she worked on more than just writing and refining articles for the web. A keen interest in the visual arts led her to ideate stories, write scripts and get involved in post-production work for CarWale’s YouTube channel. She also SEO optimised content for the website and YouTube.

“Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!” — a Calvin and Hobbes quote Soumya swears by. This passion for creating high-quality content led her to experiment with various forms of online content creation, with a focus on videos for YouTube.

Favourite Car

Soumya has lived with vehicles that have attained classic status in the Indian automotive scene - her favourites being the Kinetic Honda ZX and the second-generation Maruti Suzuki 800 (SB308). She loves classic cars for their focus on mechanical engineering, but is also excited for the future, which she thinks will eventually consist of pure EVs and hybrids. Combining that with her love for BMWs, Soumya’s current favourite car is the BMW iX.

Author Background 

Soumya began her career as a CNC programmer after receiving a bachelor’s degree in Engineering in Electronics and Communications. Looking for more challenging work than programming giant robotic arms & machines, she attained a master’s degree in English, followed by certification in screenwriting. She brings a diverse set of experience from manufacturing, mechatronics, and automotive engineering and combines it with her flair with words and love for the language.
