Uttam began his automotive career in 1982 in Fiji, managing a fleet of 16 vehicles and handling everything from servicing to mechanical and body repairs. He worked with brands like Ford, Holden, and Toyota before expanding into rally and performance vehicles, gaining hands-on experience with models such as Minis and Ford Escorts. This experience built a strong foundation in both everyday vehicle maintenance and high-performance automotive work.
