Believe it or not but Lalit Kumar made the Pixy Hybrid Smart Car with his own hands in an East Delhi garage. 

The story of the Pixy, a hybrid smart car is one of grit and determination, and Lalit's journey of building a smart car will probably have you questioning our Govt's Make in India initiative.
 
And yes, in case you are wondering, those are gullwing doors and that is a Nano.  

The aptly named Pixy, can run on electricity as well as petrol. One can switch between both modes with the tap of a button on the Pixy prototype app for Android smartphones. The smart car has an in-built battery charger, along with the ability to charge with solar energy. Pixy can easily travel for 4 hours on a single charge. The car’s gullwing doors (yes, he actually fitted gullwing doors on a Nano) can also be opened and closed with a simple app command. Lalit says that he is also working toward giving the Pixy an autopilot mode, which is essentially a step towards making it a driverless car.
