TROIKA: Golden era to Gen Z

5 DAYS TO GO!

Journey of TROIKA from the Golden era to Gen z

Hello, my dear children! I hope everyone is excited for THE DAYS and can't wait for it anymore! Well, me, too. While we wait to witness the grand event a little more, let me take you on a time travel journey today and tell you about the golden era of TROIKA.

Same place, different time.

As you all know, It was the year 2011 when it all started. Ah, time passes so quickly. Oh, do you know the theme of the first TROIKA? It was Trials, Tribulations, and Triumphs. And how well it describes our great fest, doesn’t it?

When I look back, I wonder how earlier, back in 2011 to 2015 volunteers who wish to join as an organizer would be handed out a form during the first general meeting to fill in their event preferences. These organizers were later promoted as the sub-heads and heads as they stepped in S.Y. and T.Y. respectively. The heads were also appointed on the basis of personal relations and popularity within the college. Oh and, the form-filling process and even the registrations were done on paper. But today with the aid of technology TROIKANS are moving towards a paperless society and everything has become automated.

The seed of TROIKA is now blossoming into a tree with a strong trunk, but few things remain intact just like my presence, which are PR activities and Sponsorships. The sponsors were as keen as they are now to fund our beloved event. We have had Imagica, Hero, 9x Jhakaas, and many other renowned brands, as our sponsors.

For PR, TROIKANs have shifted to Hybrid mode, but initially, it used to be conducted completely on the ground and people were approached offline only. They initially had only a Facebook page for TROIKA 2011 which is still operated but now the online presence has been expanded to Instagram, LinkedIn, and last year the website was also introduced.

TROIKA is known for Quality but sacrificing quantity was never an option.

Originally, there were only 3 events which later got multiplied into several events and the number still continues. Change is the only constant. Having said that, though some events like MegaM and Moot court got extinct like some of my species, other events soon replaced them well. It is very interesting to see that the no. of organizers and participants increases year by year and so does the caliber of the event.

For anyone who has been a part of TROIKA would express their undying love and respect for the events and their heads. I can tell you that the heads were not only peers but also mentors for the organizers for a lifetime to seek guidance from.

The clock is ticking even faster,

My heart is beating even louder,

After 5 days get ready to experience the thrill,

Stay prepared to witness the most exciting event of the year.

With this note, I invite you to our prestigious campus on the 30th, 31st of January, and 1st of February. We have in store a lot of surprises for you. Save the dates because trust me you don’t want to miss this!
