Picked up a number of creative cues during a brief visit to iCreate. Had a very enriching interaction. Looking forward to the growth of the institution by leaps and bounds.

Dr. Jitendra Singh

Union Minister, Government of India

The Government of Gujarat has always been fully supportive of iCreate. We entered into a JV to help establish iCreate, we made it the Centre of Excellence for technology led entrepreneurship to support them financially, and to ensure recurring support, we have created a special corpus. We are very proud of what they have achieved in this short period of time for the State in this short of Gujarat as well as the country and are confident that they will emerge as an institute that has a global stature.
