Team HAYA

Team HAYA is a group of young automobile enthusiasts, from Peoples Education Society Institute of Technology (PESIT), committed to build cars within a prescribed standards and budget and to take part in Society of Automotive Engineer (SAE) events happening in India and across the globe. Students at HAYA are prepared to be constantly challenged in an increasingly competitive environment, equipped with a holistic skill set to face the real world. HAYA has provided an apt platform for the vibrant students to expand their boundaries, collaborate and learn.

HAYA provides great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as an opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort. HAYA was the brain child of a few students who presented an overview of FSAE to their fellow mates seeking volunteers from amongst them to cover the technical and administrative aspects of the endeavor. The students named the team Haya, meaning horse, to bring in an element of Indian culture.

The real inspiration to undertake this activity came from a group of bright engineers, who wanted to do something unique. Indeed, designing a Formula 1 race car is the aspiration of practically every budding mechanical engineer.
