Established in 2017 by the trailblazing PGP batch of 2016-18, the Bikers and Trekkers Club (B.A.T.) of IIM Udaipur has grown to be an essential part of the campus culture, embodying the adventurous spirit and unwavering resilience of the IIMU community. Now in 2024, B.A.T. has evolved beyond its roots to become a vibrant hub where students, faculty, and staff come together to experience the exhilaration of nature, exploration, and camaraderie.
Udaipur, famously known as the "Venice of the East," with its serene lakes and majestic forts, is the perfect backdrop for the club's pursuits. Yet, what truly captivates our spirit are the hidden paths of the Aravali hills, the rugged trails, and the unexplored wonders that lie beyond the city's historical facade. B.A.T. is committed to uncovering these treasures, fostering a deeper connection with nature, and promoting environmental stewardship.
Our mission is clear: to inspire a balanced lifestyle that nurtures not just the physical but the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of our members. At B.A.T., we champion personal growth through adventure, cultivating resilience and self-awareness by encouraging members to step outside their comfort zones. We believe
That true adventure is not just about the destination but about conquering inner challenges and embracing the journey.
The wolf in our logo symbolizes our core values: unity, strength, and the unyielding spirit of exploration. Like a wolf pack, we thrive on community, teamwork, and shared experiences. This ethos permeates every activity, from exhilarating treks and bike rides to team-building exercises and conservation initiatives.
Over the years, B.A.T. has hosted countless outings and events that have built lasting bonds across the IIMU cohort and beyond. Our events during college festivals showcase our dedication to holistic well-being and our commitment to fostering an appreciation for the natural world. The club remains accessible to everyone on campus, embodying a spirit of inclusivity and shared adventure.
In 2024, as we stand on the foundation built by past members and continue to forge our path, we hold fast to our guiding principle: “it’s not the mountains we conquer, but ourselves.” We don’t just create memories; we inspire lifelong passions, instill courage, and encourage every member to live with a mindset of endless exploration. At B.A.T., there is no bucket list - just a bike-it list. Join us, as we ride, trek, and discover together.
