Anita Kashyap-Mad about cars. Anita Kashyap's favourite toys were dinky cars. When other girls her age were busy with dolls she spent hours taking apart and assembling toy car models. Years later as a teenager she would peer into the engines of the second-hand cars her father sold. The best times she had as a teenager were when she donned a mechanic's overall. And that was what she would have done for a living had the Kashyap family not re-located to India from Germany. She was 18 when she came to Delhi with her family. Her father, Rajinder Kashyap, left India when he was 15 to pursue a course in engineering. There he met and married Anita's mother Laurentia, a Dutch woman. Kashyap soon ventured into business and became a dealer in second-hand cars in Kempen, near Dusseldorf. The couple also owned and managed a petrol bunk. Every year the Kashyaps would vacation in Delhi and 13 years ago the family decided to shift to India. "It was a decision jointly taken by my parents, Anand (her brother) and me," says Anita, 31. Having been in the car business for years they knew exactly what they would do once they settled in Delhi: open a modern workshop. "On our visits to the city we were aghast to see Ambassadors and Premier Padminis being repaired and serviced on the roadside," says Anita..... the-week.com
