About the event

INNIXO – OVERDRIVE 2026 is the annual technical festival organized by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Dr. D.Y. Patil School of Science and Technology, Pune. The event is designed to provide engineering students with a dynamic platform to explore innovation, technology, creativity, and problem-solving beyond the classroom.

Spread across three days, INNIXO – OVERDRIVE 2026 brings together students through a diverse set of activities including logic-based challenges, AI-driven creative events, frontend design competitions, coding contests, esports tournaments, and a flagship 8–10 hour theme-based hackathon. The hackathon, titled OVERDRIVE HACK, is organized at a Pune level, welcoming participation from engineering colleges across Pune.

The festival aims to:

• Encourage hands-on learning and innovation
• Promote teamwork, leadership, and competitive spirit
• Introduce students to emerging technologies and real-world problem solving
• Create a strong connection between industry, academia, and young talent

With an expected participation from multiple colleges and strong student engagement, INNIXO – OVERDRIVE 2026 offers sponsors excellent visibility and an opportunity to connect with a large, motivated audience of future engineers.

Why should you sponsor?

A sponsor’s support for INNIXO – OVERDRIVE 2026 is not just financial assistance—it is an investment in visibility, talent, and brand engagement.

1️⃣ Direct Access to Future Engineers

INNIXO brings together engineering students from multiple colleges across Pune, especially through our Pune-level 8–10 hour hackathon. Sponsors get direct exposure to future developers, designers, innovators, and decision-makers at an early stage.

2️⃣ Strong Brand Visibility

Sponsors receive:

• Logo placement on event banners, posters, certificates, and digital promotions
• Brand mentions during opening and closing ceremonies
• Visibility across college social media platforms and student networks

This ensures high recall and recognition among a young, tech-focused audience.

3️⃣ Meaningful Engagement (Not Just Ads)

Unlike passive advertising, INNIXO allows sponsors to:

• Interact directly with participants
• Conduct a short talk, demo, or interaction session (optional)
• Showcase products, services, or opportunities relevant to students

This creates trust and connection, not just visibility.

4️⃣ Association with Innovation & Education

By supporting INNIXO, sponsors align their brand with:

• Education and skill development
• Innovation and technology
• Student empowerment and community building

This enhances the sponsor’s corporate image and social responsibility profile.

5️⃣ Cost-Effective Marketing

With a modest sponsorship amount (₹25,000 budget), sponsors gain:

• Multi-day exposure
• Campus-wide and inter-college reach
• Long-term brand recall among students

This delivers high ROI compared to traditional advertising channels
