It started with a controller and a cold cup of coffee.
Late nights of sim-racing, weekends of building, and a 3D printer that's been working overtime. Apex Designs was founded by Riaan Vatsa, a 7th grader — born in his bedroom, somewhere between a math test and a flying lap on a virtual circuit.

Built in the gaps between homework.
Every frame is hand-spec'd in our home studio in Mumbai. Inspiration arrives from anywhere: Forza replays, garage tours on YouTube, a freshly extruded part popping off the print bed.

Brick. Print. Ship.
We design and prototype every model. We pick parts that hold up. We engineer custom display stands. And we ship across India in 48 hours — packed in pit-lane red boxes.
// From the studio
"I want every shelf in India to have a frame that feels like race-day morning."
// The four pillars
Inspired by the things we'd never put down.
Gaming
Years of sim-racing taught us what makes a car feel alive. We obsess over silhouettes, downforce stance and livery moods.
Building
From the very first construction set to today's hyper-detailed brick frames — building is meditation, and engineering is the goal.
3D Printing
A workshop full of extruders, FDM and resin parts. We prototype custom mounts, badges and the steering wheels you see in our coming-soon drops.
Motorsport
F1, IndyCar, endurance racing — if it goes fast and looks ferocious, we want to build it.
