Global Hyperloop Competition 2025 - Asia's First Hyperloop Competition! We are thrilled to announce that LoopMIT has been rewarded Best Demonstrating Team and Best Mechanical Subsystem at the Global Hyperloop Competition 2025 held at IIT Madras! This win truly reflects our team’s hard work, creativity, and engineering brilliance. This would not have been possible without the backing of our college, Manipal Institute of Technology. We would like to thank LPS Bossard Pvt Ltd, our Title Sponsor for their unwavering support in building our pod this year! A huge thank you to our mentors, sponsors, and everyone who supported us on this journey! A special mention to our seniors for laying the foundation that made this possible, their vision, hard work, and guidance paved the way for us to achieve this milestone! Onward to revolutionizing transportation! #LoopMIT #GlobalHyperloopCompetition #IITMadras #Innovation #EngineeringExcellence #FutureOfTransport Manipal Institute of Technology Global Hyperloop Competition Sohan Kumar Y Akshaya Velliangiri Gandhar Apte Krishnapriya K Binnoy Shlok Singh Ahluwalia SOUGATA MAJI Rahul Sethia HimaNandhan Alla Sahil Sinha Akhil Aithal

🌀🚇 MEET THE TEAMS: loopMIT 🌐India 🇮🇳🌐 The European Hyperloop Week is on the horizon and Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich is looking foward to welcoming more than 20 university #hyperloop competition teams travelling to #Zurich #Switzerland from around the world. We are honored to present these teams individually in the lead up to this week-long event. loopMIT from Manipal, India, have shared with us that their pod is completely manufactured in-house and has been built from scratch in their workshop. "Every single manufacturing process has taken place in-house and has been carried out by our team." Their project is boosting collaboration between students from different branches within their university and with major companies across India. Their slogan: "Transforming travel beyond boundaries" See you soon loopMIT !

Team LoopMIT recently had the privilege to attend the Global Hyperloop Conference held at IIT Madras from the 19th to the 21st of April. The learning opportunities and exposure our team has had in these 3 days were nothing short of incredible.  On a short trip to the IITM Thaiyur Campus on the 19th, we ventured into the startup scene by visiting the E-Plane Company workshop and having a brief look into how they manufacture full-scale electric air taxis. After that, we had the pleasure of seeing the full-scale vacuum tube built by L&T and Indian Railways.  Coming back to the main campus visiting the IITM Center for Innovation and seeing all the student teams reminded us of the Student Activity Center back at MIT. Later in the evening, a pod demonstration was conducted by Team Avishkar for their latest pod Garuda.  The conference on the 20th and 21st was aimed at discussing the scalability of hyperloop technology and its widespread implementation. It was enriching to connect with industry experts and visionaries who are looking to revolutionise transportation. From thought-provoking talks and panel discussions led by pioneers in the field to stalls set up by various university-level teams from all over the country, every moment was a testament to innovation. Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of our experience was the opportunity to engage with fellow Hyperloop teams from our country. We exchanged ideas, and shared experiences, and celebrated our shared vision for the future with teams like Avishkar, Nirmaan, Infinity, Vegapod and Ashwa.  We would like to applaud the efforts of the GHC managing committee(especially Arpit Garg, the head of the event and Poras Wadhai, our point of contact for the event) and Team Avishkar for taking this initiative to create a Hyperloop ecosystem in India so that all the teams can compete and grow, especially to showcase ourselves at a global level.  We look forward to participating in Paarivahan 2025- the Global Hyperloop Competition! #LoopMIT #KeepLoopin #Hyperloop #Innovation #Collaboration #FutureOfTransportation #Parivahan #GHC #HyperloopIndia #TUMHyperloop #HARDTHyperloop

On 07/04/24, loopMIT had the privilege of hosting Mr. Harish Shah, a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is the Founder and Managing Director of Signet Capital Pvt Ltd and also the Director of Harish and Bina Shah Foundation. He is an alumnus of MIT from the batch 1980, Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Shah is known for his visionary leadership and commitment to fostering young talent. During his visit, we were also graced by the presence of our esteemed director, Dr. Anil Rana, our joint director, Dr. Somashekara Bhat, and other dignitaries. The gathering provided a platform for meaningful exchanges and insights into hyperloop technology and entrepreneurship. The interaction with Mr. Shah was particularly enriching as we had the opportunity to showcase our hyperloop pod. His genuine interest and questions demonstrated his keen understanding of emerging trends and technologies. We were thrilled to see him impressed by our work, further motivating us to strive for excellence in our endeavors. Overall, it was a highly fruitful discussion that left a lasting impact on us.
