It was also revealed that Ganesh's custom bike is a two-in-one wheelchair developed by a startup at one of India's premier engineering institutions, the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras.
The bike turns into a conventional wheelchair with the press of a button in addition to being a motorcycle ride for him during work hours.
Ganesh had suffered a major spinal cord injury six years ago after he was hit by a truck. The accident had left his body partially paralysed. However, Ganesh did not let the situation get the better of him. He picked up the pieces and started working.
