A boardroom for your business.

Twelve serious owners and a trained Chair, every month, plus the BUILD City Tour and the Constitution every member signs.

BUILD Boardroom

Not a networking club. A boardroom for your business.

Big companies have a board of directors that reviews the numbers, questions decisions and holds the owner to targets. BUILD Boardroom gives a small business owner the same: eleven serious owners and a trained Chair, around one table, every month.

12owners per Boardroom, selected by application
1three-hour working session a month
90day targets, reviewed with your numbers

A weekly referral club costs you a heavy fee and 50 early mornings a year. BUILD Boardroom costs you 12 afternoons, and pays back in your own numbers.

Follow the money

Most clubs earn from recruitment. So the focus moves from your business to recruitment.

When the people running a club earn from member fees and new joinings, every meeting quietly becomes about the next member. And between meetings you get discussion, but no tools, no coaching and no one amplifying your business. BUILD is built the other way round.

The usual model

The recruitment loop

When earnings come from fees and new joinings, meetings become a hunt for the next member.

01Recruit new members
02Collect joining & yearly fees
03The people running it earn
04Push everyone to recruit more
Your businessleft outIgnored
  • Money flows to whoever brings the next member
  • Fees, fines and meal charges keep rising
  • Your sales and margin never come up
The money goes round. Your business stays where it was.
The BUILD model

The BUILD growth loop

Nobody earns from recruiting. The only thing that counts is your scorecard.

Written into the Constitution:

The numbers they don't show you

India's biggest weekly referral network, by its own numbers.

Weekly referral clubs are now huge in India. The largest one alone reports more than 76,000 members in over 1,500 chapters. Here is what that model costs Indian owners in time and money, and what its headline figures really measure.

76,543members in one network
1,577chapters across India
91.9 lakhowner hours a year spent in weekly meetings, travel and prep*
₹459 croreworth of owners' time a year, at just ₹500 an hour*
Count the real cost
Hours a year–
Value of that time–
Fees and meals a yearEnter a quote
Total yearly cost to owners–
What they show“₹60,503 crore of closed business in 12 months”and about 49.9 lakh referrals passed
What it really means
  • Self-reported, not audited. Members fill in slips each week. Nobody checks the invoices.
  • Sales value, not profit. A ₹50 lakh order counts as ₹50 lakh, even if the margin was ₹2 lakh, or the deal would have happened anyway.
  • A quota, not a strategy. 49.9 lakh referrals over 76,543 members is about 65 a year each, roughly one or two a week: the weekly target the format asks for.
  • Generic business. It measures leads swapped between members, not whether anyone's margin, cash or systems improved.
What the model does not give you
No business toolsNo technology or AI supportNo coaching on pricing, cash or hiringNo measurement of your profitNo help to raise fundsNo plan to maximise your business

BUILD gives every one of these, starting free. See the free tools · Read the Constitution

Member, chapter, referral and closed-business figures are as published in 2026 by India's largest weekly referral network. *Our estimate: 48 meetings a year, 2.5 hours each week including travel, preparation and one-to-ones. Change the numbers above to test your own assumptions.

What a weekly club really costs you

Fees differ by club. Enter what you were quoted. Your time is a cost too: an owner's hour away from the business is worth money.

Designed out, in writing

Ten things owners hate about networking clubs. None of them exist here.

Every rule below is written into the BUILD Boardroom Constitution. Tap an article to read it.

Leaders earn from recruitment

The people running the club earn from fees and new joinings, so meetings drift from members' businesses to recruiting the next member.
Nobody at BUILD earns a rupee for recruiting. Chairs are reviewed on members' ratings and scorecard progress. Recruitment is never on the agenda.

Only discussion, no support

You get a weekly conversation and nothing to take back to your business: no tools, no coaching, no one amplifying you.
Every seat comes with tools, BUILD AI, a scorecard, a directory listing, experts, and features on BUILD's channels when you grow.

Five chapters in one city

Several chapters in the same city chase the same visitors and trades, and members get poached across them.
One city, one Boardroom council. A new table opens only when every seat is full, and all tables share one calendar.

Politics and committees

Elections, power groups and committees that decide who gets a seat, who keeps it and who is pushed out.
No elections, no posts, no committee with power over a member. Written rules decide, and an outside review answers in 7 days.

No real coaching

Training teaches the club's rules and a 60-second pitch, not how to price, hire or manage cash.
Coaching is a member's right: a certified Chair, an expert at every session, the 365-day course and quarterly masterclasses.

Heavy fees, then more fees

A joining fee, a heavy yearly fee, and a paid meal at every meeting, all before you earn a rupee back.
One published seat fee. No joining fee, no meal or venue charge, no fines. Never raised in the middle of your year.

Every week, early morning

Around 50 early meetings a year. Miss too many and you must send a substitute or risk your seat.
12 sessions a year. Missing one means a 15-minute catch-up call with your Chair, never a substitute or a penalty.

Locked to one club

One seat per trade, and members are often barred from joining any other referral group.
No trade lock, no exclusivity clause. Belong to any association, club or network you like.

Referral and visitor quotas

Pressure to pass a minimum number of referrals or bring visitors, whether they are good or not.
No quotas, ever. Members are measured only on their own sales, margin, cash and 90-day target.

The room becomes a sales pitch

Meetings turn into pitching, recruiting and selling to each other.
No selling inside a session. Your business is promoted category-wise in the BUILD Directory instead.

The monthly session

  1. Numbers round45 minEvery member shares the same four numbers: sales, contribution margin, cash and one target. No stories, only figures.
  2. Hot seat60 minOne member's biggest problem is worked on by the whole table, Business OPD style, until there is a written plan.
  3. Expert seat30 minA CA, banker, marketer or operator joins to answer what the table can't.
  4. Commitments30 minEach member sets next month's actions. The Chair checks them at the next session.

What a seat gives you

  • Growth scorecardYour monthly numbers tracked in your BUILD Office and reviewed at the table.
  • Deal deskGroup buying, shared vendors and joint bids that make twelve small businesses negotiate like one big one.
  • Expert seatRegular access to professionals most small owners can't afford alone.
  • Boardroom SummitOnce a year, every Boardroom in India meets, and the most improved businesses are recognised.

The BUILD Boardroom Constitution

16 articles, a Member Rights Charter and the Terms and Conditions that every member, Chair and sponsor signs. It's how we keep the politics, quotas and hidden fees out for good.

BUILD Boardroom

The Constitution.

Most networking clubs run on rules members never see until they break one. Ours are public, short and the same for everyone. Every member, Chair and sponsor signs them.

Version 1.016 articles · 82 clausesEffective from the first Boardroom session

We, the owners of India's small businesses, come together not to pass cards but to build better businesses. We bring our real numbers, we keep each other's confidence, and we hold each other to the targets we set. No politics, no quotas, no hidden fees. Only the work.

ART 01Name and purposeWhy a Boardroom exists
  1. 1.1This is the Constitution of BUILD Boardroom, a programme of BUILD for small and growing business owners in India.
  2. 1.2A Boardroom exists for one purpose: to make each member's business better run and more profitable, measured in that business's own numbers.
  3. 1.3A Boardroom is not a referral club, a sales network or a social club. Business may flow between members, but it is never the measure of success.
ART 02DefinitionsThe words used in this Constitution
  1. 2.1Table: one group of up to 12 members and one Chair that meets every month.
  2. 2.2City Council: all the tables in one city, run as a single Boardroom with one calendar.
  3. 2.3Chair: the trained and certified person who runs a table's sessions.
  4. 2.4Scorecard: the four numbers each member brings every month: sales, contribution margin, cash, and one 90-day target.
  5. 2.5BUILD Review Desk: the team, outside every table, that handles complaints and disputes.
ART 03One city, one BoardroomNo competing chapters in the same city
  1. 3.1Each city has one BUILD Boardroom, run as one City Council.
  2. 3.2A City Council may run more than one table, but a new table opens only when every existing table is full and there is a waiting list.
  3. 3.3All tables in a city share one calendar, one Chair council and one city summit. They are numbered, not branded against each other.
  4. 3.4No table may recruit members, visitors or trades from another table. Tables never compete with each other.
  5. 3.5A member may move to another table in the same city once a year, on request.

What this replaces: Typical clubs often run many chapters in one city that compete for the same people. That is designed out here.

ART 04Membership and selectionWho can sit at the table
  1. 4.1A seat is open to registered BUILD members who own or run a business, or are about to start one with a written plan.
  2. 4.2Members are selected by written application and a call with the BUILD team, on commitment and stage of business, never on trade, caste, religion, gender or connections.
  3. 4.3No trade lock. No trade is limited to one seat. Where two members are direct competitors in the same locality, both are told before seating.
  4. 4.4No exclusivity. Members may belong to any other association, club or network.
  5. 4.5A seat is personal. It cannot be sold, transferred or passed on.

What this replaces: Typical clubs allow one seat per trade and often forbid joining other groups. That is designed out here.

ART 05FeesOne clear price, nothing hidden
  1. 5.1Registration with BUILD, the 365-day course and the free tools cost nothing.
  2. 5.2A Boardroom seat carries one yearly fee, published on this website and written in the offer before a member joins.
  3. 5.3There is no joining fee, no application fee, no meal or venue charge, no fine and no penalty. City Sponsors host venues so members never pay for them.
  4. 5.4The fee is never raised during a member's year. Any change applies only from renewal and is announced 60 days in advance.
  5. 5.5Every member at the same table pays the same fee.
  6. 5.6All fees are non-refundable once paid, including membership, seat, founding and lifetime fees. This is stated before payment, in the membership agreement and on every invoice.
  7. 5.7Fees are payable in advance, plus GST where applicable. A seat or benefit starts only after the fee is received.

What this replaces: Typical clubs charge a joining fee, a heavy yearly fee and a meal at every meeting. That is designed out here.

ART 06Coaching, tools and amplificationReal support, not just discussion
  1. 6.1Every Chair is trained and certified by BUILD before running a table, and re-certified every year.
  2. 6.2Every session has an Expert Seat: a CA, banker, lawyer, marketer or operator who answers what the table cannot.
  3. 6.3Every member gets the full BUILD365 course, every BUILD tool and BUILD AI, at no extra cost.
  4. 6.4Every quarter, all Boardrooms join a masterclass on one business skill, such as pricing, hiring or cash flow.
  5. 6.5Every member leaves each session with a written 90-day plan that the Chair reviews at the next one.
  6. 6.6Between sessions, members are never left with only talk. Every seat includes the growth scorecard, a free BUILD Directory listing, the Deal Desk for group buying, and one-to-one help from BUILD AI in 13 languages.
  7. 6.7BUILD amplifies its members: businesses that improve their scorecard are featured in the Category Spotlight, BUILD Stories and BUILD's shows, at no cost.

What this replaces: Typical clubs offer discussion at the meeting and little else: no tools, no coaching, no amplification. That is designed out here.

ART 07Sessions and attendanceOnce a month, on time, without penalties
  1. 7.1A table meets 12 times a year, once a month, for 3 hours. The calendar is published a year in advance.
  2. 7.2Every session follows the same agenda: Numbers round, Hot seat, Expert seat, and Commitments.
  3. 7.3Missing a session never requires a substitute and never attracts a fine. The Chair holds a 15-minute catch-up call instead.
  4. 7.4Session notes, commitments and scorecards are recorded in each member's dashboard after every session.
  5. 7.5If a member misses three sessions in a row, BUILD calls them to discuss whether the seat still suits them. A seat is never removed automatically.
  6. 7.6Sessions start and end on time.

What this replaces: Typical clubs meet every week and require substitutes or open your seat if you miss. That is designed out here.

ART 08Governance without politicsRules decide, not groups
  1. 8.1There are no elections, campaigns, posts or titles inside a Boardroom.
  2. 8.2Chairs are appointed by BUILD on merit, and reviewed every six months using anonymous member ratings and the table's scorecard progress.
  3. 8.3No member, group or committee may remove, block or punish another member.
  4. 8.4Only the rules in this Constitution apply. No table may add its own rules, fees or quotas.
  5. 8.5Any complaint goes in writing to the BUILD Review Desk, which is outside every table and replies within 7 days.
  6. 8.6Every decision about a member is recorded with its reasons and shared with that member.

What this replaces: Typical clubs are run by member committees that vote on seats and classifications. That is designed out here.

ART 09No recruitment economyNobody earns from bringing in members
  1. 9.1No Chair, staff member, partner or member earns any commission, share of fees, bonus or reward for recruiting members.
  2. 9.2Chairs are paid by BUILD for running sessions well. Their review is based on members' ratings and the table's scorecard progress, never on how many members they bring in.
  3. 9.3There are no recruitment targets, no membership drives inside sessions, and no rankings of who brought in the most members.
  4. 9.4Session time belongs to members' businesses. Recruitment is never on the agenda.
  5. 9.5New members come through the public application on the BUILD website, and are selected by the BUILD team under Article 4.

What this replaces: In typical clubs, the people running them earn from member fees and new joinings, so the focus shifts from your business to recruitment. That is designed out here.

ART 10What we measureYour numbers, not referral counts
  1. 10.1Members are measured on four numbers only: sales, contribution margin, cash and one 90-day target.
  2. 10.2There are no referral, visitor or attendance quotas, ever.
  3. 10.3Referrals between members are welcome, but they are voluntary and are never counted, ranked or announced.
  4. 10.4Once a year the most improved businesses are recognised at the Boardroom Summit, judged on their scorecards.

What this replaces: Typical clubs measure referrals passed and visitors brought. That is designed out here.

ART 11Confidentiality and conductWhat happens at the table stays at the table
  1. 11.1Numbers and problems shared at the table stay inside it. Every member and Chair signs a confidentiality undertaking.
  2. 11.2There is no selling, MLM pitching or recruiting during a session.
  3. 11.3Members are expected to be honest about their numbers, respectful and on time.

  2. 12.2Every month one category is the Category Spotlight across BUILD's website, shows and channels.
  3. 12.3Listings are verified by the BUILD team before they go live, and members keep them up to date.
  4. 12.4Members may offer a BUILD member price. Every offer must be honest and must be honoured.
ART 13SponsorsSupport, never influence
  1. 13.1Sponsors support BUILD's categories, cities, shows, tools, masterclasses and the Summit.
  2. 13.2Sponsors never buy seats, Chair posts, votes or access to any member or their numbers.
  3. 13.3Everything a sponsor supports is clearly labelled as sponsored.
  4. 13.4Member data is never sold, and is never shared with a sponsor without that member's written consent.
ART 14Membership categoriesEvery level, written down
  1. 14.1BUILD has these membership categories: Free member; BUILD Pro, Plus and Growth; Boardroom Seat; Founder's Circle; Inner Circle with Umrav Singh; Founding Member; and Lifetime Founding Partner.
  2. 14.2Benefits and prices of each category are published on the BUILD website and in the membership agreement at the time of joining.
  3. 14.3Every category has the same rights under this Constitution. Paying more buys more support, never more power over other members.
  4. 14.4A member may move up a category at any time. Moving down applies from the next membership year.
  5. 14.5Every member receives a member ID, a digital member card and a signed copy of their membership agreement.
ART 15Founding Members and the Founding 11Those who build BUILD first
  1. 15.1Founding Members are members who join before BUILD's public launch. They keep their founding price for as long as they renew without a break, and carry the Founding Member badge for life.
  2. 15.2Founding Members are named on the BUILD Founders' Wall and invited to the launch event and to quarterly feedback circles that shape BUILD's roadmap.
  3. 15.3BUILD offers 11 Lifetime Founding Partner memberships in its founding round. An unused founding place is never resold below the published price.
  4. 15.4A Lifetime Founding Partner holds Inner Circle benefits for life, and lifetime recognition: their logo appears as "Co-powered by" across BUILD's stories, shows, events, website and app for the life of BUILD.
  5. 15.5Lifetime Founding Partners receive no vote, no Chair post, no control over any Boardroom and no access to any member's numbers or data. The sponsor rules in this Constitution apply to them in full.
  6. 15.6Logos are shown according to BUILD's brand guidelines. BUILD may pause a logo only for unlawful or misleading conduct, and only after the Review Desk process.
  7. 15.7The Lifetime Founding Partner fee is paid once and is non-refundable.
ART 16Leaving, data and changesYour seat, your data, your choice
  1. 16.1A member may leave at any time with 30 days' notice by WhatsApp or email.
  2. 16.2Fees already paid are not refunded, as set out in Article 5. A member who leaves keeps access until the end of the period already paid for.

  4. 16.4A member may download or delete their scorecard and listing data at any time.
