Startup Adda Honor & Elevate - The Badging & Felicitation Ceremony of The Startup Society

A day of pride, gratitude, and new beginnings!

The Startup Society (TSS) at RUAS celebrated an unforgettable evening of gratitude, growth, and new beginnings through Honor & Elevate 2025 — a ceremony that beautifully bridged the legacy of the past with the promise of the future on September 29, 2025.

Dr. Sonali Gupta, Professor and Director, CFE & Chief Patron, TSS, reflected on the genesis of the Society’s journey and its vision for the future. And Dr. Mueen Ahmed, Assistant Professor & Faculty In-Charge, TSS, shared an inspiring blueprint on how the TSS can serve as a sandbox for students to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset.

The event began with the badging ceremony — a proud and symbolic moment where the new Executive and Core Teams officially donned their badges, pledging to carry forward the values of innovation, collaboration, and leadership that define TSS.

The evening then transitioned into a felicitation ceremony, honoring our former TSS members whose dedication, vision, and hard work have been instrumental in shaping the Society’s journey.

From inspiring oaths to heartfelt tributes, Honor & Elevate 2025 was a beautiful reminder that while leadership changes, The Startup Society spirit continues to thrive — stronger than ever!
