"The conventional marketing plans won't work in the jungle of App stores and Play Store, where there are millions of APPs. Start-ups need Guerilla Marketing techniques to win in the jungle! This unique contest brings about the enthusiasm in the students to think differently through various aspects of marketing", stated Krishna Vemuri, CEO commenting on the necessity for unconventional marketing for start-ups. "The winners and runners-up take away combined prizes of Rupees Hundred and Fifty Thousand.
