THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota, USA- DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment,is pleased to announce its sponsorship of Formula Bharat 2025, India’s Formula student competition, taking place at Kari Motor Speedway Jan. 22-27, 2025.
Formula Bharat is an engineering design competition in which students from colleges and universities all over the country compete with life-size Formula-style racing vehicles. Students design, determine cost and marketability and ensure dynamic performance of their vehicles as part of the competition. The series replicates the global student Formula series, which is hosted in 11 countries annually.
The purpose of the Formula Bharat competition is to encourage students to gain hands-on, practical experience while applying engineering theories studied in the classroom. In addition, students learn the art of management and teamwork. Student teams build a new vehicle from scratch each year and seek sponsorship and donations to fund their projects.
“We are honored to sponsor Formula Bharat and happy to help foster and support next-generation engineers,”said Y.C. Wang, director of global academic programs at DigiKey. “It is also an opportunity for us to interact with highly motivated students and observe their race cars in action. We’d love to share with them about our tools, products and resources that enable their designs.”
As a Gold Plus Level Sponsor, DigiKey will be giving away rulers and pens during the event. For more information about DigiKey, please visit the DigiKey India website.
