OSS Sponsorship Head ’22

I led sponsorship for Innerve 7, raised monetary and in-kind support, and learned that a team must deliver what it promises to sponsors.

The Milestone

  • This was offered to me because I was the Joint Sponsorship Head of OSS during the 2021-22 academic year.
  • The sponsorship head had to work only during the Innerve with 25 other members to organize the largest student-driven hackathon.
  • We conducted Innerve 7, and this time we got a lot of sponsorship amount and more than the previous year, and it was more than 3 or 4 Lakhs in monetary and more than 10+ Lakhs in in-kind sponsorship, which includes services like domain name registration, cloud hosting, and other resources which professionals have to pay a hefty amount for, but it was free for the students.
  • Due to my connections in E Cell and exposure to the Alumni network, we got a lot of trust for the sponsorship but couldn’t deliver a few mentioned deliverables, not because I did something wrong, but in the brochure, we had committed to a lot, and in the end, due to the rush of time, we couldn’t deliver the same. It was fixed in Innerve 8 by the juniors by providing the right deliverables for the right amount.
