[Tex/LaTex] Missing control sequence inserted ressubheading

Question

First-time LaTeX user here!

I'm using Overleaf (used to be WriteLatex) and when trying to use one of their CV templates, I get an error without event typing a single letter in the code.

Template:

https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/aparna-cv/ckldkvjcjwxz#.VTLIhPnF98E

Error:

Missing control sequence inserted.
<inserted text>

Answer 1

The real problem is earlier. If you replace the line, where IIT Madras Logo is called (line 68 of the original template), e.g. as in the example, everything works OK. (You don't have this logo, I suppose.)
