HELP MY TEAM “VISHWARACERS BAJA” FROM VISHWAKARMA INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, PUNE BUILD AN ELECTRIC ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE
TEAM VISHWARACERS BAJA is the E-Baja student team from VIIT, Pune. We are a group of engineering students from the Mechanical and Electronics domains working on an electric all-terrain vehicle race car. We design, manufacture and test our own ATV with our innovative inputs to participate in various design competitions like SAE BAJA, MEGA ATV, CHAMPIONS OF CHAMPIONS, ATVC and aspire to participate in international events too.
We are working on things which are not part of our curriculum, hence we study the necessary subjects in addition to our subjects and implement things practically.
The total funds that we need to build the vehicle would be 7L. Part of the funds come from the college. We still face a shortfall of 3.5L INR.
Through this crowdfunding campaign, I and my other team members aim to raise INR 3.5L or more. So please continue to fund my campaign even if I get past my individual goal of INR 11000.
The more funds we collect, the more sophisticated material and equipment we can use. This will enhance our chances of winning competitions in the future.
OUR CAR ON THE TRACK
The team is participating for the first time in an electric all-terrain vehicle event. Learning has motivated us and we are ready to overcome our shortcomings and build the best all-terrain electric vehicle in India.
Starting from the scratch, we designed every domain of this car and we are proud to announce that we have cleared the Virtual round of SAE E-Baja which took place at Chitkara University, Punjab.
Just a good idea doesn’t make a plan successful as it needs proper implementation. To implement things capital is the most important variable but difficult to generate. We are doing this crowdfunding campaign on FuelADream as we are sure it will help us generate the necessary funds. We are in the stage of manufacturing the car and we are falling short of funds.
COST SHEET
ABOUT OUR TEAM
We are Team VISHWARACERS BAJA consisting of 40 members working in the team with an aim to manufacture the Electric all-terrain vehicle from scratch. We have cleared the Virtual round for the event and now are at the manufacturing stage.
We design all the subsystem of the vehicle on cad software and then after FEA analysis, the manufacturing of the component is done. After manufacturing the total assembly of the vehicle is completed.
ABOUT ME & THIS CAMPAIGN:
Greetings,
I am Piyush Kale, currently representing Team Vishwaracers Baja of VIIT College. We are a Collegiate Automotive Club who are striving to build an Electric Off-Road All-Terrain Vehicle to be presented for SAE BAJA competition held in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh from 23rd to 28th January. I am currently working in the SUSPENSION Domain. I design the actual Suspension System of the ATV and manage the Vehicle Dynamics. I do every little calculation precisely so as to ensure that the vehicle runs smoothly.
But just like all the other materialistic things in life, the economic factor is the biggest hurdle in our path to success. I am raising an amount of INR 11,000. So, I urge you to kindly help me achieve my dream of successfully building an ATV, by monetary means.
FUNDS UTILISATION
The total cost of our project is around 7L excluding transportation and stay. Although our institute provides us with some funds, the amount required to build the Electric all-terrain vehicle is substantially more. Through this crowdfunding campaign, we are aiming to raise a big part of the total amount. We want to raise 3.5LINR or more. We assure you that funds raised by crowdfunding will be used judiciously and as mentioned below. The raised funds will help us upgrade our performance and take our over to a whole new level and win this competition.
Electronics is the heart of our ATV. A part of the funds raised will be used in buying a new electric kit which will increase the efficiency and performance of our ATV. A solid design is also a must for a solid performance. Hence, some of the amounts will be used in the fabrication of our chassis. We design, manufacture and test our own ATV with our innovative inputs. So, this will help us in discovering new hardware and technologies and in building prototypes for testing of our electric all-terrain vehicle

FAQs
How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream is a crowdfunding site and platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds.
You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on a FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
