DoCSoc’s top-tier quant and tech funding shouldn't just buy us free food: it should build a direct path to the best career opportunities.
Hello World! I’m Aayush, and I’m running for Sponsor Liaison.
Managing high-stakes sponsorships isn't new to me. I genuinely love the art of negotiation (fun fact: I actually wanted to study PPE before choosing Computing!). Before Imperial, I founded an organisation that ran global summits for 500+ students, handling corporate sponsors and high-profile guests like India’s ex-Chief Justice, and coordinated directly with government agencies at COP28. This taught me to manage contracts, retain partners and pitch to new ones, and close deals by showing companies exactly why they need to invest in our talent. Between competing in hackathons and attending techfests, I’ve sat through enough generic lectures to know what makes a sponsor booth actually valuable, allowing me to translate corporate deals into what students actually want.
My Action Plan:
- Expanding the Network: Aggressive summer outreach to retain our elite quant/tech partners while building new contacts to secure exclusive networking sessions and internship opportunities.
- High-Value Returns: Moving beyond generic talks. I’ll push for sponsor-led technical workshops, mock-interviews, API/cloud credits, and opportunities that actually benefit your learning and personal projects (alongside the free merch and pizza, of course!)
- Flawless Execution: Securing massive IC Hack contracts early, while liaising tightly with the Events and Marketing officers to ensure every workshop is perfectly scheduled, booked, and publicised.
Let’s turn DoCSoc’s funding into your next offer letter. Vote Aayush!
