AARUSH
Our very first car, Aarush, is a testament to the team’s two-year-long effort aimed at competing in the World Solar Challenge. Bringing our first imagination to reality was an experience for the team, and we learned a lot from it.

Manufacturing of Aarush
Aarush's aeroshell (the car's outer body) is manufactured in-house at Central Workshop in IITM by our team members from scratch.
Initially, we created the car body by making a mold using plywood and foam, which was then used to apply glass fiber through the hand layup process.
