The Indus-trial

Indus Toyota Motors had invited all teams from Pakistan to send in their designs to them so that a technical committee would review them and select a team, and sponsor them in their project.

After an apparently thorough review, they shortlisted three teams from the northern region (which included 15 teams from UET Lahore, UET Taxilla, EME College NUST, GIKI and Air University).

Kaar was among those shortlisted, and on the 17th, we met Shehryar Piracha from Indus Motors, who was interviewing all the shortlisted teams. It was apparent that the main hurdle to Kaar being sponsored was the Indus Motor's budget. After a discussion with him, members of the teams decided that despite all the odds, we will not compromise on the efficiency of the vehicle.

However, whether or not we are funded, the fact that we were shortlisted shows these things:
1. We are among the 3 best teams from the northern region at least
2. We are the best team in the Urban Concept Category from the northern region at least
3. We are among Indus's best shots at getting some glory for themselves and the nation
