It appears you don’t have sufficient evidence to meet the criteria. The NIIT centre manager may not meet the criteria if he just and administrator. Ensure as all your recommenders have a public profile. It appears you don’t work for a productled company, are you freelancing or consulting?

You all your evidence are not sufficient as it is mostly reference letters. You also can’t use a reference letter for a company you have only been for 8months.

The NIIT center manager isn’t just an administrator, he is a certified programmer with numerous programming languages. How do I attach their public profile to the recommendation letter? The Technation guidelines mentioned not to add it in the 3 pages of the letter.
I have been employed as well as freelancing with my company with 4 employees before I took this latest job and my brand became inactive.
I have proof of work in addition to the reference letters I’ve gotten, I want to use 4 of my previous clients as proof of work done with my brand.
I want to add my marketing achievements so far with the company as well as the letter.

If using OC2, the mentorship needs to be a structured program that advances the digital technology sector.
Makemusic Lagos[Showgear] is this an organisation that advances the sector?

What kind of publications do you have? Are they in digital technology in reputable venues?

Overall there’s a lot to be improved and you’d need to review the TN guideline again to identify examples of suitable evidence.
