Monaco, July 7 (ANI): Team India Sea Sakthi is all set to ride the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC). The Indian team is making its first appearance since the event started in 2014. Sea Shakti team is represented by students from the Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore. Around 38 teams from 27 universities across 21 nations are participating in MEBC. Ambassador of India to France and Monaca, Jawed Ashraf was also present at the event to encourage the participants. Speaking about the event, Sana, who is leading the 14-member India Team Sea Sakthi said, “Today we had the sea trials. Before the sea trials, all the 16 teams that are participating should do a technical inspection. Believe it or not, of the 16 teams, only five teams are cleared so far, and we were the second team to clear the technical inspections. We did the sea trials while the other teams were still building the boat. We are confident of winning the game. Speaking to ANI, Ambassador Jawed Ashraf said, “I am very pleased, a team from Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore has made a successful first attempt. They have been selected among countries and yacht clubs which have been participating for many years. To be selected in the very first attempt speaks volumes about the capabilities, skills and innovation of our youth from India. The world is witnessing the wave or tide that is taking place in India which is second to none.”
