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.
“I am told that through Gujarat University Startup and Entrepreneurship Council (GUSEC), several new startups are being supported, and that Council for Innovation & Skill Development has also been created. 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.”
``I am delighted to see how GUSEC is making every possible effort to support not only tech startups but startups from other domains as well.``

“Gujarat is ranked #1 state to startup and herSTART is a perfect initiative to encourage our young girls to start up.”
