TESTIMONIAL
Prof. Avinash Ramakant
Dean, Polaris School of Technology
In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern engineering and venture building, E Cell PST acts as the catalyst that transforms raw student curiosity into high impact startups. We have moved far beyond traditional classroom theory. Our students build with real code, deploy to real markets, and iterate under relentless peer feedback. The institutional momentum built here is setting a benchmark for what undergraduate entrepreneurship should look like in India.”
