The GUSEC Community

We, at GUSEC, house over 100 startups and that has proven to be one of the biggest points of vantage for us as well as our community members. This closely knit circuit comprises a huge part of the startup ecosystem of the state. In addition, in-house and virtually instated entrepreneurs and their teams have built an understanding and bond with each other that accelerates their growth. Over the years, from celebrating success stories, festivals and the spirit of entrepreneurship, the community has witnessed a lot together.

The community hosts Diwali gatherings, monthly meetups called Docknings, and tend to unwind by playing board games and sports together. It’s believed that productivity has a very close relationship with the work environment, and here, it’s both nurturing and positive.

This is a very significant contribution to make students self-reliant. I believe that employability, and enabling students to become self-reliant, and employable, should be a top priority of today’s universities.”
