Galgotias University Partners with 247VC to Launch Entrepreneurship & Venture Excellence (EVE) Program
Strategic partnership aims to create venture-backed startups from Galgotias University and enable the campus as a premier destination for venture-ready talent in India
Greater Noida, June 10: Galgotias University and 247VC, a leading seed stage venture capital fund, announced a long term partnership. The collaboration encompasses the launch of the Entrepreneurship & Venture Excellence (EVE) Program, a structured initiative designed to equip students with startup-building frameworks, investor mentorship, and access to institutional capital.
Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University said, “Our partnership with 247VC is a one-of-its-kind initiative where a venture capital fund will have an active engagement presence within the University ecosystem itself, enabling students to interact directly with investors, startup mentors, founder networks, and venture-building experts.
As part of this initiative, the University will facilitate dedicated on-campus engagement spaces to enable regular interaction between students and venture capital professionals. Having venture capital presence directly on campus will help students move ideas, research, and prototypes closer to real-world execution, mentorship, and venture creation.”
The partnership is designed to bridge a critical gap in entrepreneurship education within Indian universities by providing students with practical, investor-validated frameworks rather than theoretical knowledge.
Commenting on the collaboration, Yagnesh Sanghrajka, Managing Partner, 247VC, said, “We are truly elated to partner with a premier institution like Galgotias University. With its 50,000+ students, across various disciplines, having state of the art technologies available to them, this collaboration presents a unique opportunity to nurture the next gen of entrepreneurs.
This model will become a blueprint for how universities should partner with venture capital. We’re committed to bringing our real-world venture investing experience and our deep founder networks directly to Galgotias’ students, transforming entrepreneurship from an aspiration into a structured, achievable outcome.”
