Wikipedia is already popular among BHU Students, but not among the masses around Varanasi, as emphasised by your need. A Non-Monetary Deal can be signed between the Marketing/Branding Department of Wikipedia and Marketing & Branding Team of Technex. Through this partnership Wikipedia can achieve its goal and mission. You can refer our Marketing Brochure for the point of deliverables that we will provide to you.

Technex witnesses a footfall of over 20,000 young minds, spanning over 100 cities across the nation. The Banaras Hindu University, the largest residential university in Asia itself houses over 20,000 students who come from not only various parts of India, but from abroad as well. Hence this would be an ideal platform to engage and make aware the youth about the activities, potential, and future of your company. Moreover, Technex'18 is slated to conquer new horizons through inviting participation from the schools and collaborating with foreign universities.

We have a reach of over 5,00,000 through our campus ambassadors in more than 300 colleges, our Facebook page, our YouTube Channel and the only technical festival in India to have our own Android App.
