Ever heard the phrase ‘realigning the wheel’? Well, Nikita Lalwani definitely has, and she’s not just realigning one wheel, but two. An instrumentation engineer by profession, Nikita is the founder of Cycling Cities, a one-of-akind ecosystem with a multifold vision – to make cycling a sustainable commute option, to make Indian cities cycling friendly, to encourage people to adopt cycling as part of their lifestyle, and to bring cycling enthusiasts together at regular events centered on health, heritage and adventure.

To propagate an activity takes more dedication than it does to initiate it. Nikita has always been an avid cyclist, from her schooling days in Kota, to the course of an engineering degree at NIT, Surat, and now, her current role at German MNC, Linde Engineering in Vadodara, where she has worked for five years.
