Challenges & Objectives

/ The Challenge

Every year, Initium brings together students from across Bengaluru in a celebration of literary, artistic, musical, and theatrical talent. In 2024 and 2025, we needed a website that could not only showcase event details and ticketing but also scale seamlessly under high traffic — including over 2,500 ticket requests. I took on the challenge to build and maintain that platform.

/ Key Features

  • Event showcase & schedule: Timely displays for stand-up comedy, art charades, flash mobs, quizzes, and more — each event’s theme and ticket info was easily accessible.

  • Responsive & user‑friendly UI: Optimized layouts for desktop and mobile helped users quickly view events, register, and access tickets.

  • Reliable ticketing flow: From payment capture to e‑ticket delivery and confirmations, every step was managed precisely — and backed by proactive user support.

/ Impact & Learnings

  • Crafted a seamless event website that reflected the fest’s energy and had near-zero downtime.

  • Gained hands-on experience managing high-volume ticketing workflows and user interactions.

  • Reinforced the value of proactive design, clear communication, and anticipating user needs in a live event environment.

/ Final Word

Building the Initium site and supporting over 2,500 ticket requests was more than a technical win—it was a front-row seat to seeing vibrant student life come alive online. It taught me how thoughtful design and responsive support can elevate a digital experience, and how technology can unite communities in celebration.
