Sudhanshu Mani, father of Vande Bharat Trains: Visionary behind India's semi-high speed train revolution.
Sudhanshu Mani, a mechanical officer of the Indian Railways with a 38-year career, was the mastermind behind the Vande Bharat Express train. He was instrumental in ensuring that the train was delivered within a short duration of about 18 months.
This semi-high speed train was a dream that Sudhanshu had while he was the General Manager at the Integrated Coach Factory, Chennai. He envisioned a self-propelled train that could run at a speed of 180 km and would cost half the price of the imported semi-high speed trains.
