With the wish to make this event an annual property of NASSCOM, Atul and the organization constantly encourage more and more students and educational institutions to participate in such events.
In his journey of progressing the IT and software industry of eastern India through his association with NASSCOM, Atul took up a key role in organizing the NASSCOM TechConclave, 2015 in Inspiria Knowledge Campus, Siliguri.

The coding competition held in the TechConclave with a strength of 40 competitors was one of the biggest attractions of the event. Atul, in his quest to encourage the deserving winner, had also gone ahead to immediately offer him a job at InSync.
