Pratap Bose has played a key role in designing Tata Motors' new-age cars under the IMPACT design 2.0 philosophy, including the Harrier, Tiago, Tigor, Altroz and the new Safari. Even the Tata Nexon subcompact SUV was designed by Bose, which went on to become the first India-made car to score a full 5-star rating at the Global NCAP's crash test. Moreover, the Tata Altroz also won the 2021 CNB 'Car Design Of The Year' and 'Safety Tech' Awards. The Altroz is the second car from the home-grown automaker, after the Nexon, to score a full five-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash test.
