Gujarat University Startup and Entrepreneurship Council (GUSEC) is one of India’s leading startup support systems, which has set an unprecedented benchmark by facilitating at zero-cost. Right in the heart of Gujarat University, with an ever-growing infrastructure, 100+ innovative tech and non-tech startups, GUSEC has played a pivotal role in shaping and nurturing the startup ecosystem in Gujarat.
*Data as of May 2021
Since its inception four years ago, GUSEC has overseen the incubation of over 230 startups, seen them grow and graduate. Startups at GUSEC are a closely-knit circuit that also comprises a huge part of the startup ecosystem of Gujarat. Throughout their tenure at GUSEC, in-house and virtually instated entrepreneurs as well as their teams have bonded with each other deeply, developing a true sense of community – a community that stands together through thick & thin, and has each others’ backs. It is this feeling of togetherness that also prompted many GUSEC startups to launch joint ventures with each other, celebrating success stories, festivals, and the spirit of entrepreneurship together.
The GUSEC community works together, hosts festive gatherings, assembles for monthly casual meetups called Docknings, and tends to unwind by playing board games & sports. It’s believed that productivity has a very close relationship with the work environment, and here, it’s both nurturing and positive.
