I think the sponsorship amount is too high for entry level. The sponsorship
amount was raised by 1L for all the slabs in 2014. It means the silver is
up by 100%, gold by 50% and platinum by 25%. I've even sent a mail earlier
pointing that[1].

I strongly recommend to reconsider that.

IMHO, we should encourage more companies to have their presence at PyCon
India. Lowering the sponsorship slabs is a step in the right direction.

For comparison, the silver sponsorship amount of US PyCon and proposed
amount for PyCon India are almost the same. PyCon Singapore is 4x
cheaper[3].
