Swaraj Pushkar is an automotive writer at Turbocharged with a strong focus on performance cars and the Indian automotive market. A soon-to-be law graduate, he brings a legal and analytical lens to automotive writing. Interestingly though, what sets him apart is how he views engineering as poetry.
To him, an exhaust note is a song, a spec sheet is poetry, and an ECU map is art. This perspective also fuels his work beyond the publication space — he runs @talk.about.torque on Instagram, where he breaks down cars, culture, and opinions for a growing enthusiast audience. A committed Ford Mustang admirer, his interests lie firmly in performance, legacy nameplates, and affirming that cars do, indeed, have souls.
