Hi DigitalOcean,

I’m Nikhil Balaji, CMO and Project Director at Fraylon Technologies LLP.

We are developing AOT—Architects of Tomorrow, an India-focused innovation event across AI, SaaS, Gaming, Animation, and Storytelling.

AOT is designed to discover talented students, developers, designers, founders, and early-stage teams across India. Participants will build projects, receive mentorship, present their solutions to industry experts, and compete for prizes, internships, PPOs, employment opportunities, and post-event product-development support.

We would like to explore a strategic partnership with DigitalOcean as the Official Startup Cloud Partner of AOT India.

Under this partnership, DigitalOcean can become the preferred cloud infrastructure platform for participating developers, SaaS founders, AI teams, gaming teams, and selected post-event startups.

Participants can use DigitalOcean to deploy prototypes, host applications, manage databases, run development environments, and scale selected products after the event.

This would not be limited to logo placement. Our objective is to create meaningful product adoption by integrating DigitalOcean into the participant journey—from development and deployment to mentorship, evaluation, incubation, and post-event product scaling.

As the Official Startup Cloud Partner, DigitalOcean could receive branding across the AOT website, registration platform, college outreach campaigns, social-media promotions, presentations, technical workshops, certificates, mentor sessions, and participant communications.

We would also like to conduct DigitalOcean cloud workshops for students and developers, covering topics such as application deployment, cloud infrastructure, managed databases, scalable SaaS architecture, AI workloads, DevOps, and startup cloud-cost management.

Selected AOT teams could receive DigitalOcean credits, technical guidance, and deployment support to help them convert their event prototypes into real, market-ready products.

From DigitalOcean, we would like to explore support through a combination of strategic sponsorship, startup cloud credits, technical mentorship, speakers, judges, developer workshops, and post-event infrastructure support.

We would also be open to discussing a broader strategic investment opportunity in AOT or Fraylon’s talent-to-product ecosystem. Any investment discussion would be presented separately with clear financial projections, milestones, use of funds, governance, and return structure.

Our vision is to position DigitalOcean not only as an event sponsor but also as the cloud platform helping India’s next generation of developers and startup founders build, deploy, and scale their ideas.

We would value the opportunity to discuss how DigitalOcean can participate as AOT India’s Official Startup Cloud Partner and create a measurable developer-adoption and startup-growth programme across India.
