board room

First Boardroom Meeting The Builders Circle!

, , ,

What an incredible start to The Builders Circle!

🚀 What an incredible start to The Builders Circle!

We just wrapped up our first boardroom meeting, and it was everything we hoped for and more.

Out of 300+ applications, we handpicked 9 exceptional founders from diverse industries, each with impressive milestones—$250K+ in revenue or similar funding rounds.

Together, they spent three focused hours in a structured session designed to help them zero in on their North Star metrics and tackle real challenges in a safe, collaborative space. 

This wasn’t just another networking event.

For the first time, the founders who joined us shared that they got exactly what they were looking for: actionable guidance to scale their businesses and tangible outcomes from their time with us. 🙌 

The energy in the room was unmatched, and the feedback we received blew us away: 

> “Everyone left knowing exactly what to do next. The value we got was not just insightful but measurable.” 

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road, but these boardroom sessions are building a **band of brothers and sisters** who truly understand each other’s struggles and wins. 

This is just the beginning—**monthly boardroom meetings** are now a cornerstone of The Builder’s Circle, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for this incredible group of founders. 💡✨ 

Meet the members of the 1st circle:

🔥Sumit Rastogi – cofounder, Artinci

🔥Amit Mishra – cofounder Dazeinfo Media & Research

🔥Debarya Dutta– cofounder Upraised®

🔥Rahul Johar– cofounder Dobra and Oxbow Brands

🔥Rohaan Kaul – cofounder Zavops

🔥Sanjana Tripuramallu – founder, Cosmos Diamonds

🔥Sreerupa Chowdhury (Sree) – cofounder LegalCare

🔥Syed Imran – cofounder fillokart

🔥Vivek Prashanth – COO, LivQuik

We are meeting for the first circle connect mixer this friday where the circle members get to meet the advisors and a few select industry leaders in person in a house party. More updates on that soon!

The Builders Circle House Party

The House Party you should not have missed!

, ,

🎉 What a night! We just hosted the first-ever Builders Circle House Party, and it was an absolute hit. 🏠✨

This wasn’t your typical networking mixer—it was hyper-curated to ensure only the most relevant folks got through the door.


👀👀 Imagine rubbing shoulders with CXOs from CBRE, Reebok, Moengage, InMobi, Verse—people you never see at other events.


🚩Why were they here?

Because they’re advisors to our Builders Circle members, helping founders level up their game.


Our members had the chance to meet these incredible advisors face-to-face, forging relationships that go beyond business cards.


The Builders Circle isn’t just about founders coming together to build—it’s about creating a space where you connect with the right people:

🤝 Advisors who truly care about your growth.
💰 Investor dates to fuel your journey.
🎓 Workshops to sharpen your edge.
📈 Monthly boardroom meetings to recalibrate your company goals and get support from the circle.
🛠️ Vendor directory with certified, vetted service providers across all domains you’ll ever need.

A massive thank you to our partners for making the evening even more special:
In’lief for their amazing cosmetics.
– Kumbaya Kombucha Inc. for keeping us refreshed.
– IST Hard Seltzer for the sparkling vibes.
Dobra for their incredible beverages.
Artinci for the delicious desserts.

If you’re a funded founder in Bangalore or running an ARR of ₹1–2 Cr, you’re missing out if you’re not part of this tribe.

We are currently onboarding founders for our second circle.
