About E-Cell
Born from a vision to transform the entrepreneurial landscape at Entrepreneurship-Cell, University of Lucknow. This Cell is more than just a student organization—we're a movement dedicated to empowering the next generation of innovators and change-makers.
Our Founding Story
In July 2025, a group of passionate students at University of Lucknow recognized a gap in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. While the university had brilliant minds and innovative ideas, there was no dedicated platform to nurture and support student entrepreneurs.
Inspired by the success of entrepreneurship cells across India and motivated by the opportunity to participate in NEC 2025 by E-Cell IIT Bombay, we decided to create something meaningful. Our founding principle, theme "Curiosity. Creativity. Change" became the cornerstone of our mission.
Today, E-Cell LU stands as a testament to what students can achieve when they come together with a shared vision of innovation, collaboration, and social impact.
Why E-Cell LU Exists
Our existence is driven by the belief that every student has the potential to be an entrepreneur, innovator, and change-maker.

As Faculty Advisor of the Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell), my vision is to cultivate a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem within the Faculty of Engineering & Technology that nurtures innovation, critical thinking, and startup culture among students.
The E-Cell will act as a platform to identify, inspire, and support aspiring student entrepreneurs in translating their ideas into viable ventures. I aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote experiential learning through regular workshops, ideation bootcamps, mentorship programs, and industry interaction.
Special emphasis will be placed on aligning E-Cell initiatives with national missions such as Startup India and Digital India, while also encouraging participation in innovation challenges, hackathons, and policy-driven startup schemes.
