Speaking about the double victory at the grueling rally, Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director and Country Head, Polaris India Pvt. Ltd., noted, “We have a strong focus on motorsports in India. After the stunning victory at India’s cross-country rally India Baja, we are absolutely delighted with our participation and performance at one of the most challenging motorsport rallies- Raid De Himalaya. The Polaris range of vehicles are designed and engineered to perform even in the most challenging terrains like the mighty Himalayas. This exhilarating and adventurous mountain rally provided us the perfect opportunity to showcase the true power of Polaris’ range of vehicles to the world. The challenging dirt, snow, gravel-covered paths coupled with the inclement weather truly test the endurance of the vehicles like no other event.”
