Why the evening matters for sponsors.
The Gala Dinner is where the real conversations happen. Senior technology leaders from the day conclave
stay for dinner alongside the award recipients and their networks. A dinner table is the most direct access to
enterprise decision-makers available at any tech event in Bengaluru. The coffee table book is distributed to
awardees, their organisations, media, and partners — and archived permanently. A full-page advertisement reaches far beyond the event itself.
Sponsorship — Full Event
Sponsor the whole day.
These tiers span both the daytime conclave and the evening awards. Full-event sponsors get visibility and
access across RACE360 and the Top 10 Women Tech Leaders India Awards — all in one package, one invoice.
