Neoteric founder Chris Fitzgerald has enjoyed a long friendship with Dr. Rajpal Sirohi. In the 1980s, when Fitzgerald was Rose-Hulman Institute’s
first Entrepreneur in Residence, he served as an ambassador when visiting SICO
in India, a company that was collaborating with Fitzgerald to manufacture
hovercraft and components in India. Rose-Hulman asked Fitzgerald to travel to
Madras, India to meet Dr. Rajpal Sirohi, who directed the School of Optics at
the Madras Design Institute. It was during this visit that Fitzgerald first met the Sirohis' son, Jayant.
Dr. Rajpal Sirohi later affiliated with Rose-Hulman and
moved to Terre Haute, IN for a time, after which he moved back to India. He subsequently returned to Terre Haute and is currently a Distinguished Scholar in the
department of Physics and Optical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology,
recognized as the top undergraduate engineering school in the US for the last
14 years.
The Hovertrek is the most thoroughly tested and documented light hovercraft on the market. It is a privilege for us, and a benefit for our
customers, to have prestigious engineers and researchers such as Dr. Jayant
Sirohi involved in Neoteric’s quest for continuous product improvement.
