Campus Ambassador Program

GUESSS India engages with students across higher education institutions through a structured Campus Ambassador Program. This initiative offers students a unique opportunity to take on a leadership role by driving the implementation of the GUESSS Survey on their college or university campus.

As a Campus Ambassador, students not only contribute to a national research initiative on student entrepreneurship, but also gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurial thinking, project management, and team coordination. The program encourages self-exploration, helping students develop their leadership potential and managerial skills.

In addition, participants become part of a vibrant peer network of like-minded changemakers, fostering both personal growth and professional development.

About Campus Ambassador Program

The GUESSS India Campus Ambassador (CA) Program is a dynamic student leadership initiative that connects India’s higher education institutions with GUESSS India—the country’s largest research project on student entrepreneurship.

Campus Ambassadors serve as the last-mile connect between GUESSS India and the student community, playing a critical role in promoting GUESSS initiatives on their respective campuses.

They champion student entrepreneurship research by encouraging participation in the GUESSS Survey and facilitating conversations around students’ entrepreneurial aspirations.

In the 2025 edition, GUESSS India invites enthusiastic student leaders to become Campus Ambassadors. If you’re passionate about entrepreneurship and eager to represent your institution in a prestigious global research initiative, this is your opportunity to make an impact.
