[Inpycon] Sponsorship for PyCon India 2018

I mulled over contributing as an associate Sponsor but the price tag made
me conclude "perhaps next year".
And now its even higher :(

We should perhaps reduce the cost of a fleeting mention on the website for
the most insignificant sponsor.
Something that makes people like me go, "Shut up and take my money" :)

Perhaps we can conduct a survey (with a tweet?) asking what people would be
willing to pay for a associate sponsorship.
