The GUSEC Community

Since its inception five years ago, GUSEC has overseen the incubation of over 300 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, startups have bonded with each other deeply, becoming a community that stands together 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. It’s believed that productivity has a very close relationship with the work environment, and here, it’s both nurturing and positive.
