Experience
Aakash began his automotive journalism journey in 2019 when he launched Necessity Media as an independent storytelling project, featuring editorial pieces centered on enthusiast car culture and history. He later expanded his professional work as a contributor to The Porsche Club of America newsletter. Through his work with PCA, Aakash explored automotive heritage, design, and ownership culture for a national audience. Today, he hangs out at car meets with his university's car club, tinkering on his 955 Porsche Cayenne S and honing in on his writing to help audiences further appreciate car culture.
