About herSTART
herSTART, an initiative by Gujarat University Startup and Entrepreneurship Council (GUSEC), empowers women-led startups with resources, mentorship, and a supportive ecosystem.
Launched in 2019, it has completed three successful editions with support from central & state agencies alongside partners. In 2022, the Hon’ble President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu inaugurated a national platform for herSTART, expanding its mission to support women entrepreneurs across the country.
It is a matter of great pride for me to launch the herSTART platform dedicated to women entrepreneurs in this startup friendly university. I am confident this platform will play an important role in boosting the women entrepreneurs-led innovation and startup ecosystem. It will also be an effective platform to connect women entrepreneurs with government and private undertakings.

Hon’ble President of India
आज देश Women Development से आगे Women -Led Development की और बढ़ रहा हे। आज हम महिला विकास से आगे महिला के नेतृत्व में विकास की बात कर रहे हे। इस अवसर पर मुझे स्वामी विवेकानंद के वचन याद आते हे। उन्होंने कहा था, “The Idea of Perfect Womanhood is Perfect Independence” – सवा सौ वर्ष पहले स्वामी जी का यह विचार भारतीय संस्कृति में नारी शक्ति के चिंतन को व्य्क्त करता हे।
Shri Narendra Modi
Hon'ble Prime Minister of India
