Known for writing bestselling novels like Five Point Someone, Two States, Half Girlfriend etc., Bhagat took to Twitter on March 15 to announce that he is “turning gears”. “Moving from writing to setting up an electric car project. Always a mechanical engineer. :) #TimeToGetSmarter,” he further wrote. As soon as the 42-year-old IIT Delhi-graduate declared himself as “always a mechanical engineer”, Twitter burst with reactions, from people known to make light of almost any situation.
