Bhomraj Singh, from Rajasthan, has developed a vehicle which he is able to control remotely with his mobile phone - despite having no formal technical or engineering training.
The 28-year-old, who dropped out of middle school, says he taught himself the necessary coding and techniques from the internet.

He then read up on Google's attempts to develop a computer controlled vehicle and began modifying a 796cc costing £4000 to create his very own 'ghost car'.
Bhomraj said: 'I was excited when I read about the Google's car but I was unsure if and when it would hit the roadsPrevio
During the re-modification of the small silver car, Bhomraj took out the driver seat and fitted a homebuilt instrument in his workshop that syncs with his mobile phone.
This enables him to drive the vehicle like a giant remote controlled car.

As news spread about the creation, many villagers in Rajasthan started flocking to see the car in action - forcing Bhomraj to give regular demonstrations.
While the concept is only in its infancy, Bhomraj says the technology he uses to run the car is very safe, and he hopes to continue developing it.
'The device that I have fitted in the car is synced with a mobile phone and as the instruction is given on the device, the car moves,' he said.
'It is safe but would need some more changes and improvements. I am still testing it.'
