#ekatvam

When Tech Mahindra says “Let’s bring everyone together,” they mean it. And when they do, Sixteen by Sixty-four Media rises to the occasion with pride, passion, and precision.

EKATVAM is not just an event — it’s a movement. A celebration of unity, creativity, and energy that brings together more than 23,000 associates under one grand umbrella. For us, organizing EKATVAM year after year is both an honor and a logistical adventure of the highest order.

A Month of Magic Before the Main Event

EKATVAM is not confined to a single day. In fact, the festivities start nearly a month in advance, with a host of on-campus events and experiences specially curated to engage Tech Mahindra associates.

From quirky pop-ups to themed games, talent showcases to interactive installations — our team designs and executes joyful, immersive experiences that transform everyday office life into a celebratory carnival.

Building the Venue from the Ground Up

Imagine a bare plot of land. Now imagine it transformed into a self-sufficient city — complete with parking zones, secure fencing, emergency exits, fire safety systems, backstage green rooms, food courts, carnival zones, and, of course, a show-stopping main stage.

This isn’t just set-up — this is infrastructure development at an event scale.

Our journey begins much before the event day. With civil planning, architectural layouting, and a dedicated team that oversees every square foot, we create a venue that’s not only functional but festive.

The Engine Behind the Event: Our Org Structure

At Sixteen by Sixty-four, we know that large-scale events succeed because of smart systems and great teams. For EKATVAM, we deploy an intricate org chart, with clearly defined responsibilities across critical verticals:

Main Stage & Backstage Management

Food & Beverage

Carnival Zone

Security & Access Control

Parking & Traffic Management

Console, Tech & Content

Artist & Talent Management

Fire Safety

Crisis Management

Each vertical is led by a seasoned head, supported by a team of experts and on-ground personnel — ensuring no detail is too small, and no challenge goes unnoticed.

The Performances: From Associates to A-Listers

The soul of EKATVAM lies in its performances — and what a lineup we’ve had!

From internally choreographed group performances involving 200+ Tech Mahindra associates to showstopping acts by A-lister artists like Shankar Mahadevan, this event blurs the lines between audience and artist.

We believe that every individual on stage is a star — and our production value reflects that. Be it lighting, sound, choreography, or AV content, everything is designed to create a cohesive, high-impact experience.

The Heartbeat of the Event: The Stage

The stage is where the magic truly unfolds — and for our team, it’s the creative high we live for.

Each year, we push boundaries to design and build stunning stages that are more than just performance platforms — they are visual spectacles, architectural marvels, and emotional focal points. It's on these stages that entertainment is not just delivered — it is engineered.

For an organization full of engineers, it’s no surprise that Tech Mahindra’s associates resonate deeply with this — and so do we.

Six Years. Six EKATVAMs. One Incredible Journey.

We’ve been privileged to partner with Tech Mahindra for six consecutive editions of EKATVAM. And every single time, it has pushed us to innovate, optimize, and deliver better.

EKATVAM is not just about the numbers — though 23,000+ attendees is no small feat. It’s about community, creativity, and collaboration. It’s about transforming a vision into reality, and a gathering into a collective memory.

Pune Comes Alive

During EKATVAM, Pune transforms. The energy of the event spills beyond the venue — into the streets, the cafes, and the spirit of the city. It’s a reminder that great events don’t just happen in isolation — they become part of the city’s cultural fabric.

Looking Ahead

At Sixteen by Sixty-four Media, large-scale events like EKATVAM are the perfect intersection of logistics and love, planning and passion. We don’t just manage events — we craft experiences.

We are immensely proud of what we’ve achieved with Tech Mahindra, and we look forward to creating even more unforgettable moments — where the engineer in us meets the artist, and the result is pure magic.
