ABOUT US
Entrepreneurship Cell, E-Cell in short, is a club at SASTRA bringing together bright, creative and aspiring minds to nurture inspiration and innovation among its people.
We conduct recruitments every semester. Forms are rolled out through our official E-Cell app which is available on Google Play Store. Interested applicants can apply for their desired clusters through this app. We will contact the applicants to schedule an interview soon after the deadline.
Our main goal is to empower and encourage entrepreneurs who are interested in building their start-ups. As a growing community, we’ve always focused on the enrichment of our member’s skill sets through various educative experiences. Upon joining E-Cell, each member would be able to grow their portfolio and learn through activities that would help them stand out in the growing market.
As we are a student community, we don’t expect new members to have expertise in the domain they’re interested in. However, a certain level of knowledge, irrespective of whether it is practical or theoretical, would be much appreciated while appearing for interviews. If the applicant has any sort of experience or certification of any related past work experience, they can either produce it through the applications or during the interview process.
We highly recommend you download our app from Google Play Store which contains all the information necessary. You will also receive notifications whenever a new event is being conducted along with reminders. Registrations for these events can be done through the application as well.
You can contact us at student_coordinator.ecell@sastra.ac.in or submit your query in the contact us form and one of our representatives will get back to you as soon as possible.
