The problem Covid Travels solves

Avishkar in Covid seemed an impossible task with an online semester, ongoing placements and never ending lockdown. Anuj being the leader he is started managing it all, be it scheduling classes or planning events he is all over the place. As Avishkar approaches he is getting more and more desperate to bring in new sponsors for all events. Not so friendly sponsors need to meet him in person.
