    Sounds like an excellent awareness program about digital marketing to a prestigious institute like IIT Roorkee. I liked the concept of ZMOT 🙂 So, regardless of how much experience you have in digital marketing, there is always something new to learn. I hope such efforts would pay rich dividends for both DV and the digital marketing industry as a whole.
