 What Shark Tank’s Sumit Rastogi Found Inside The Builders Circle

About Artinci

Artinci is a clean-label dessert brand on a mission to redefine indulgence. With 100% sugar-free, low-carb, and diabetic-friendly treats, Artinci offers guilt-free desserts that don’t compromise on taste. From ice creams to mithai, all products are crafted with zero added sugar and natural ingredients—making healthy living deliciously simple.

Sumit Rastogi, co-founder of Artinci, has been part of The Builders Circle since its inception — and his journey is a textbook example of how the right peer network can accelerate business growth.

Artinci, featured on Shark Tank India, is on a mission to revolutionize desserts with its 100% sugar-free, guilt-free product line. With a deep understanding of the D2C food ecosystem, Sumit is a go-to resource when it comes to navigating manufacturing, supply chain dynamics, and unit economics in the F&B space.

Few know that before Artinci, Sumit also built one of the highest-rated ice cream chains in the country — which he later chose to wind down to focus fully on the booming demand for clean, sugar-free indulgence.

In the past few months alone, Artinci has seen significant growth — and Sumit credits a part of that success to the support, feedback, and connections he’s received through the Builders Circle.

“The Builders Circle has been a game-changer for me as a founder. 

It’s an incredible community where I can truly lean on other founders for support and insights. 

Rohan is now running my marketing, and Amit is managing my LinkedIn — all thanks to the connections I made here. 

The knowledge and strategies I’ve gained have been instrumental in running my business more effectively. It even helped me close my funding round in under three weeks! The quick calls and hands-on help from the community have made a massive difference. It’s exactly the kind of support every founder needs.”

If you’re a funded founder, close to raising, or in your growth phase, The Builders Circle is your chance to connect with serious founders like Sumit, gain access to curated boardroom sessions, and unlock real business value.

🚪 Registrations are now open for Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore.
🎟️ Eligible founders get one trial session.

This is not just a network. It’s the network you’ve been looking for.

Whether it’s market research, industry data, or competitive benchmarking — Amit’s work powers decisions for some of the most forward-looking businesses in the country.

But beyond the business, Amit has also been a core part of The Builders Circle from the very beginning — showing up consistently to help other founders grow, sharing his network generously, and opening doors across the ecosystem. From government partnerships to industry collaborations, startup event connections to data-driven business intelligence, Amit is one of those few people who turns “Let me know if I can help” into action.

Here’s what he had to say about his journey:

“The Builders Circle is an incredibly curated gathering that consistently delivers value. 

Every month, I meet growth-stage founders and professionals who are carefully selected, which ensures meaningful and insightful conversations. 

The best part is that it’s focused on growth-stage businesses — no early-stage noise — allowing for deep, strategic discussions. I’ve gained new tools, strategies, and invaluable learnings from understanding how others think and approach challenges. It’s a game-changer for anyone serious about scaling.”

Unlike most founder meetups, the Boardroom is built different. It’s intimate, high-trust, and action-driven. This month, we had everything—from deep business insights to some young curious minds tagging along for the experience (yes, even a few kids joined in!).

🔍 We kicked things off with a powerful workshop on creative problem-solving by Grant Received, setting the tone for an intense session of reflection and solutioning.

What followed was our signature Give & Take—a 2-hour open floor where founders shared real problems they’re facing and got brutally honest feedback and actionable support. Meetings were booked, calendars locked, and follow-ups planned right there in the room. That’s the energy we’re building on.

💬 New members told us this didn’t feel like just another startup event. The urgency, the vulnerability, and the depth of connection in just one meeting was something they hadn’t experienced before.

We believe in serendipity by design. If you get the right set of founders in the same room, magic happens—and we saw a lot of that last weekend.

👥 The Boardroom is invite-only—open to funded and growth-stage founders. If that’s you, and you’re looking to scale through genuine network effects and a rock-solid support system, you should be in the room.

🌆 And good news: We’re now launching in Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune!

📍Want in?

A Special Thanks

While one circle convened at our usual venue, the boardroom came to life through our new partnership with BHIVE, marking an exciting new chapter in our journey.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Suviggya from Gopal Jee Café, our official food partner. Their incredible culinary offerings were a hit among attendees. And, of course, a shoutout to Kombucha, which kept us refreshed throughout the discussions.

If you are a growth-stage founder or a CXO looking to scale your business faster and build a long-term, high-value network, then The Builders Circle is where you need to be.

Circle is launching in Delhi and Pune

, ,

When we launched The Builders Circle, our vision was simple yet ambitious:
To create a powerful peer-driven network of serious founders who are building for scale.

Over the years at The Builders Club, we’ve seen time and again how transformative it can be when the right people are in the same room. Ideas are exchanged freely, businesses get unblocked, partnerships are formed, and real value is created — not through chance, but by design.

The Builder’s Circle is that design

What Is the Builders Circle?

At its core, The Builders Circle is an offline business network of funded and growth-stage founders, enabled by enterprise leaders, investors, and advisors.

It’s not just a networking platform — it’s a strategic, high-trust community where founders support each other in scaling, fundraising, hiring, and everything in between.

The thesis is clear:

Get the right founders into a room, remove the noise, and magic happens.

The Bangalore Experiment

Over the past five months, we’ve been quietly testing this concept in Bangalore.

We started with a handful of handpicked founders — and today, we’re proud to say we have:

  • ✅ 20+ Active Circle Members
  • ✅ 100% Net Promoter Score

What Makes This Different?

When we ask our members why they value this community, the answers are consistent:

  • “The best sounding board I’ve found.”
  • “No fluff. Just serious operators solving real problems.”
  • “Within one session, I had intros to 3 potential clients.”
  • “It feels like a founder’s inner circle — not an event.”

The format is designed to foster depth over noise. Because every member is building seriously, the feedback is richer, intros are warmer, and trust is immediate.

And thanks to our enterprise and investor network, Builders Circle members also get access to:

What’s Next? 🚀

We’re now opening up Chapter 2 of the Builders Circle in Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune.

We’re not going for volume. We onboard just 2–3 founders per city, per month — and we’re keeping it that way. This is a long-game community built on trust, consistency, and real value.

Join the Circle

If you’re a funded or growth-stage founder, and you’re looking for a strategic peer network that delivers long-term dividends on your time and relationships — this is your invite.

📌 Spots are very limited for each city. This is invite-only and designed to be high-signal from day one.

So if you’re serious about scaling and want to surround yourself with people who’ve been there and are building beside you —
👉 now’s the time to get in.

We believe in the power of serendipity — when the right builders meet, everything changes.
