About GSEA

EO Gurgaon runs the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) as its flagship student-entrepreneurship program, in partnership with the Entrepreneurs' Organization globally. The 2026 edition runs August 15 to October 15 - a compressed nine-week cycle. Last edition drew 1,400+ nominations, narrowed to 12 semifinalists, with the finale hosted at Master's Union School of Business. This year's creative needs to work at least as hard as last year's outreach did, in a shorter window, so early, high-quality assets that can be reused across channels matter more than volume.

Key Messages

• GSEA is where serious student founders get real recognition - not a business-plan competition, but a platform judged by working entrepreneurs.
• This is EO Gurgaon's flagship program, backed by an 18-year-old global EO franchise with a track record of scaling founders.
• The finale is the moment - apply now, because the runway is short (nine weeks, not the usual longer cycle).
