It was just last week that we told you about Pratap Bose, VP, Global Design, Tata Motors winning the prestigious 2021 CNB Automotive Person Of The Year award. He became the first automotive designer to receive this coveted award. Bose received the award virtually as he was is the UK, and soon congratulations poured in from across the world. However, there was one such tweet that we couldn't ignore which came from David Ward, President, Towards Zero Foundation and Global NCAP.
