Because I do not have your font Lato I simply deleted this font in the following MWE.



The error you made is to use command centering like this:



centering{ 
{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
color{gray}
Pre-Final Year B.Tech, Electrical Engineering\
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur\
sumanth.2@iitj.ac.in|+91-9632878570
}


Command centering is not prepared to take an parameter. So you can choose to use



{centering ...}


to allow centering only in the part of text inside {...} or you can use environment center instead:



begin{center} % <======================================================
%{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \

    Because I do not have your font Lato I simply deleted this font in the following MWE.



    The error you made is to use command centering like this:



    centering{ 
    {fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
    color{gray}
    Pre-Final Year B.Tech, Electrical Engineering\
    Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur\
    sumanth.2@iitj.ac.in|+91-9632878570
    }


    Command centering is not prepared to take an parameter. So you can choose to use



    {centering ...}


    to allow centering only in the part of text inside {...} or you can use environment center instead:



    begin{center} % <======================================================
    %{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \

        Because I do not have your font Lato I simply deleted this font in the following MWE.



        The error you made is to use command centering like this:



        centering{ 
        {fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \
        color{gray}
        Pre-Final Year B.Tech, Electrical Engineering\
        Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur\
        sumanth.2@iitj.ac.in|+91-9632878570
        }


        Command centering is not prepared to take an parameter. So you can choose to use



        {centering ...}


        to allow centering only in the part of text inside {...} or you can use environment center instead:



        begin{center} % <======================================================
        %{fontspec[Path = fonts/lato/]{Lato-Bol.ttf} Huge {color{headings} Sumanth } color{main}Umesh} \

        color{gray}

        sumanth.2@iitj.ac.in|+91-9632878570
