Maski Srikesh graduated from Manipal University with a degree in Automobile Engineering in 2017 — and walked straight into entrepreneurship. No corporate job, no safety net. Just a deep obsession with cars and a belief that Hyderabad deserved world-class protection services.
At 22, he became Master Franchise Owner for Autotriz — a global leader in protective coatings across automotive, aircraft, marine, and home applications — across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He built it from the ground up. Multiple studios, a team, systems, everything. Profitable from year one.
Over nine years, he protected over 3,100 cars, opened 4 locations across Hyderabad, and generated over ₹9 crore in revenue. In 2020, Autotriz India recognised him with the Brand Personality of the Year award. Tulip magazine — Hyderabad's lifestyle publication — featured him for introducing luxury automobile protection to the city at a remarkably young age.
In 2025, he made a deliberate choice. Nine years with one brand had taken him far — but the passion that started everything needed a new chapter. DRVNZ was born.
