04 · SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE

What runs across all four cities from day one.

City-specific work is layered on top of this. The shared layer is what makes the campaign efficient at scale.

01

Student content series

Produced in Bengaluru first and fed by content from every city as the campaign expands. One series, national reach, no repeated production cost per city.

02

Ambassador framework

One training programme, one messaging guardrail document, one stipend structure — applied in every city. Managed centrally by Blend, with a city lead in each market.

03

Measurement system

Campus codes for sign-up attribution, one reporting template used across all four cities, recall surveys run at the same points. Everything compares apples to apples.

04

Compliance kit

One set of messaging guardrails, approved once by your compliance team, used everywhere. Any city-specific claims reviewed as addenda, not from scratch.

05

Workshop curriculum

One financial literacy session curriculum — credit scores, CIBIL, avoiding scams — adapted with local examples per city. Not built four times.

06

Brand asset kit

One set of assets produced against your brand guidelines, used across all cities with city-name overlays where needed. No repeated design production per city.

05 · BUDGET MODEL

How costs scale across four cities.

The shared infrastructure means adding cities is cheaper than starting fresh. Here is what that looks like.

We'll come back with campus counts per city, a phased spend split by month, and a clear view of what gets added or removed when the number moves.

06 · HOW WE MEASURE ACROSS ALL FOUR CITIES

One framework. Every city on the same basis.

Campus codes mean every sign-up is attributed to a city, a campus, and a format. Nothing is pooled.

Primary metric · all cities
Qualified sign-ups from eligible students, attributed by city and campus

Tracked by campus code. Every city and every format is accountable separately — you can see exactly which campuses are working and which formats are driving conversion.

Campuses accessed with permission, by city
Workshop attendance per city
Ambassador count and 3-month retention, by city
Content reach from student-made assets
Unprompted brand recall — survey at Oct 20 and Apr 30
Fest footfall and qualified leads per fest, by city
Cost per qualified sign-up, by city and format
Fortnightly reporting when active · monthly in sustain
