Organizing committee chairman Sanjay Nibandhe said: "It gives me immense pleasure to reach out to all of you at the 16th edition of Bajaj SAEINDIA and the eighth edition of eBAJA. The concept of eBAJA was conceived even before the emergence of electric vehicles on roads. With a vision to electrify India's future of mobility, we started with the first of its kind eBAJA alongside the existing mBAJA, the IC engine buggies. What started with a 4.5kW and 100Ah Lithium ion battery has now gone to a 9kW and 144 Ah battery with 72 volts electrical system. Over the years, students have improved their skills in designing control systems, managing battery packs and handling the charge-discharge cycles".

University's pro-chancellor Madhu Chitkara said: "At Chitkara University, we have a strong commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and building a skilled society by collaborating with academia and industry. Our partnership with BAJAJ SAEINDIA since 2015 is a testament to this belief".
