  "status": true,
  "data": {
    "name": "iith",
    "fullName": "Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad",
    "logoLink": "https://example.com/logo.png",
    "interns": [

}

The frontend uses a custom design token system:

{
  colors: {
    primary: "#735F32",
    primaryVariant: "#C69749",
    background: { default: "#000000", surface: "#282A3A" },
    text: { primary: "#ffffff", secondary: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6)" }
  },
  typography: {
    fontFamily: "'Poppins', sans-serif"
  }
}
