 * Also in the home page the details provided about the project are at the bottom of the page. On an aspect of a customer probably they might check out the website in mobile phones and not always take time to scroll down and read everything.

 * 2) Go to the profile of an IIT student, click on to connect -- Select "Friend" from the options -- Write a brief on your purpose in below given box and ask them to revert back with their email id if interested. By doing so you will have more people accept your request to connect and respond you for more details.
 * Google different groups and clubs existing in IITs. Eg: Electronics, Mechatronics, Adventure, Robotics, Women cell etc. Go to their website and email all the contacts in the website.
 * Most important* google E-cell (Entrepreneur Cell / EDC / Entrepreneur development cell) IIT Kanpur and email all the contacts. If not got any response, try to connect to the student secretary/overall coordinator via Linkedin/Facebook/Phone and initiate a conversation about the program. He/she would be the best person to spread the information.
 * Try to get reference/contacts though each person who responded you via email/message.
 * Facebook and Twitter can also be used.
