Meet Pankaj, Our Passionate Cycling Expert

 

Fueled by a love for cycling that began at just 9 years old, Pankaj's journey has taken them from working at Decathlon at 16 to becoming a top professional in the field.  This passion ultimately led to join Mastermind Bicycle Studio, where he sets the bar high for exceptional service and expertise.

 

Pankaj's versatility extends beyond cycling.  A talented electrician and bike mechanic with a knack for reviving vintage treasures, he also finds joy in tending to plants, spending time with a furry companion, and unwinding at home with Netflix. When not working, Pankaj expresses creativity through poetry and drawing.

 

A fitness enthusiast who prioritizes health and wellness, he maintains a rigorous six-day-a-week workout routine.  Pankaj brings boundless energy and enthusiasm to every day, always striving for a youthful and vibrant spirit.  Just like Batman, he is a champion for excellence, both on and off the road (sometimes on a motorcycle!).

Bheem Rokaya: Master Mechanic & MTB Champion


Bheem's passion for cycling started with tinkering.  After picking up the trade in 2014, he joined Mastermind Bicycle Studio in 2020 and quickly became a master technician, skilled in servicing even the most high-end bikes.

 

But Bheem's true love lies off the road. Fueled by a lifelong connection to the mountains (having grown up in Nepal), he discovered a natural talent for MTB racing upon joining the Maharashtra state team in 2014.

 

His dedication has paid off: Bheem secured gold medals in the 2020 and 2021 MTB National Championships, consistently ranking in the top three across numerous Indian races.

 

When not conquering trails or wielding wrenches, Bheem unwinds with a good movie or catches the latest IPL or World Cup cricket matches.  He's a true asset to our team, bringing both technical expertise and championship spirit to the table.
