I would like to reinforce my hint: The designer was significantly involved in the fortunes of 'Jeeva Transport Company'

Has he also designed the Jeeva Bullet bus ?

Maybe, but I don't know

Was the designer the founder of the Jeeva Transport Company ?

fromwien · « **Reply #82 on:** July 17, 2023, 05:11:13 PM »

Not founder, but managing director

M. Veerappan ?

Any relation with the Vande Bharat bus of Rajasthan ?

fromwien · « **Reply #85 on:** July 23, 2023, 02:11:15 PM »

it is the 'Jeeva Jet' built by the 'Jeeva Transport Company'. Leyland Viking based, from 1986. What we are still looking for, is the designer of the bus

I found a (not particularly reliable) source that lists three people as being 'responsible' for the Jeeva Jet: Mr. Veerappan (mentioned above by oko94), K.A. Sengottaiyan, and S. Muthusamy (at the helm of the Jeeva Jet in my photo above). While searching for more information on these three, I learned (from more reliable sources) that Mr. Veerappan was Managing Director of Jeeva Transport at some point and that the other two were politicians. Veerappan and Sengottaiyan were later convicted and jailed for corruption involving government purchases of bus bodies, parts, and other components.

This doesn't identify the designer, of course. I just thought it might be interesting enough to add to the thread.
