Our recent ASCENT Ahmedabad Huddle, organized by GUSEC in collaboration with the ASCENT Foundation, was one such experience.

We were honoured to host Dr. Piruz Khambatta, Chairman, Rasna Group, who shared decades of entrepreneurial wisdom with founders, innovators, and business leaders.

Some powerful takeaways from the session:

• Believe in your own vision before expecting investors to believe in it.

• Integrity isn't a business strategy—it's a way of building trust.

• Startups have a unique advantage: they can innovate without the baggage of legacy systems.

• Enduring businesses are built with patience, purpose, and values.

The highlight of the evening was an engaging Q&A session, where entrepreneurs had the opportunity to interact directly with Dr. Khambatta, making the discussion as valuable as the keynote itself.

A heartfelt thank you to the ASCENT Foundation, eChai Ventures, and everyone who joined us in making this Huddle a meaningful platform for learning, collaboration, and entrepreneurial growth.
