The response to the event has been overwhelming from our members in Ahmedabad as well as from other regions. We look forward to hosting the esteemed guests in our vibrant city.”
The symposium is a unique event centred around celebrating the BNI community and maximising the value of their connections. It is not only the city’s biggest business extravaganza but also an excellent platform to connect and network with members across the country and spread wings.

Reflecting on the last ten years of BNI Ahmedabad, Vasant said, “We have facilitated business of more than Rs. 8,000 crores in these years. But, more than that, what defines us is the impact we have had on 70 lakh lives and the strong and meaningful community we have been built. Every member of BNI Ahmedabad has contributed to this.”
