PART – B

Q1)
Potential Sponsor of team abhiyaan ;-
As Abhiyaan deals mainly with autonomy in automobiles ,
a potential sponsor of Abhiyaan is a organization with keen
interest on technology especially in automobiles . Also
there are companies that are very partial towards tech
events of IIT’s which could also be potential sponsors.

.
 POTENTIAL SPONSORS FOR TEAM ABHIYAAN :-
->Manufactures auto and truck parts
->Concentrates mainly on racing
events as well as automobile expo’s
BRIDGESTONE ->Better for making kind deals
-> Since our current challenge includes
both racing and expo it is a potential
sponsor
->Manufactures four wheel drive
LAND ROVER vehicles
-> Proud sponsor for sports and
automobile expo’s
->Known for sponsoring many
GOOGLE INDIA technical events
->In sponsoring it is partial towards
events of IIT’s
->Global associate for exhibition
UFI- The global industry
association for -> Provides sponsorship to multiple
Exhibition industry events
->Sponsors events especially related to
autonomous automobile expo’s
->Manufactures thermal cameras
FLIR SYSTEMS which are used in autonomous
vehicles
->The only automotive qualified
passive infrared sensor which is
currently in production
-> This might sponsor for kind deals

HOW TO REACH THE SPONSORS :-

I think the better avenue to find the sponsors is through
platforms like sponsorpitch , sponsormyevent or sponeasy
but if we are already done with finding the sponsors then
connecting to them via linkedin or mailing their PR
executive will be better to reach out to them.

Q2)
I think the mails should be short rather than long because the
reader may not be comfortable reading long email’s .
MY EMAIL TO A COMPANY WOULD BE LIKE :-

Q3)
SWOT ANALYSIS OF TEAM ABHIYAAN :-
STRENGTHS
-> Professional and skilled team ,
Efficiency in products ,Streamlined
work process
-> The field of autonomous vehicles
is in complete demand in present.
WEAKNESS
->Unawareness in general public
(outside IITM)
-> Concentrating just on Expo’s
-> Less posts on social media
handles

OPPURTUNITIES
->Huge oppurtunities as Abhiyaan
is in the field of autonomous
automobiles which is in demand
-> Posting videos by the members on
how to build a autonomous vehicle
(a 2 min video) would attract crowd
and also increase our reach .
-> posting the same videos (2 min
video) on platforms like youtube
help our reach to the public and also
make money if our video goes viral
THREATS
->The ongoing pandemic might be
a problem as it is difficult to
communicate ideas and raising
funds in online mode
-> Less posts on social media
while other events are increasing
the no.of posts day by day

MY IDEAS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT :-

i)Giving sneak peaks into team abhiyaan
ii) Posting teasers of the product regularly
iii) Running surveys in the public
iv) Creating hashtags on social media
v) Posting countdowns for the events
Q4)
MY WAYS TO KEEP SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES OF THE
TEAM ACTIVE :-
I think a better way to keep social media handles active is by
posting regular updates , giving sneak peaks into team
Abhiyaan . Recording some casual talk between team
Members and plan short videos by members of each module
On what they are currently doing and explaining how their
Module is going to contribute for the product.
