Gujarat’s i-Hub: Gujarat has long been known for its industrial might and spirit of entrepreneurship. The state is now leading the way as a worldwide hub for investment and innovation thanks to its continuously high rating in the Ease of Doing Business index. i-Hub Gujarat, a government-supported innovation hub that is essential to fostering start-ups and empowering a new generation of entrepreneurs, is at the center of this change.
This hub is more than just a co-working space; it’s a vibrant place where opportunity and innovation collide. Along with access to networking opportunities, mentorship, and governmental support, the facility offers affordable, customized office options that are helping early-stage businesses flourish.
Joy Spoon Co-Founder Response:
Joy Spoon co-founder Vaishali Mehta says i-Hub has been a game-changer. She explains that hub provided significant support and helped boost their start-up with a government grant of ₹8 lakhs. Renting market space would have been expensive, but at i-Hub, each seat costs just ₹3,000. They also enjoy several additional benefits at no extra cost.
The vibrant community at this hub adds to its strong infrastructure and affordability. Entrepreneurs here don’t just share space they collaborate, brainstorm, and grow together. It’s an ecosystem where ideas thrive and creativity flourishes.
Joshi, who founded Sah Astitva Private Limited, has greatly benefited from this environment. The first major advantage came from the excellent infrastructure. More importantly, this hub provided every essential resource on-site from connections with fellow start-ups to access to government officials removing the need for extensive networking. Learning from others’ experiences also helped the team find practical solutions to their own challenges.
Gujarat’s i-Hub Cuts Startup Costs:
Along with peer collaboration and reasonably priced office space, i-Hub makes sure that start-ups never lack direction. The continuous mentorship support is beneficial to business owners like Akash Shah, the creator of B2B One Mart. “We would have to pay between Rs50,000 and Rs60,000 to rent a private office, but each seat is only Rs3,000 here. Additionally, this hub or Geo Sec matches us with a tutor anytime we’re stuck or unclear on what to do next. Support like that is priceless,” Shah says.
