There's a rising demand for exclusive business clubs. Entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and creative minds now seek sophisticated spaces where they can connect, collaborate, and unwind.

While traditional establishments like Gymkhanas and Golf courses have long been the domain of the elite, gaining membership can be a lengthy process. To meet the evolving needs of professionals, a new wave of members-only private clubs is emerging in business hubs and city centers.

According to recent research by Axon Developers in collaboration with SKYE, the current market size of these exclusive clubs stands at INR 576 crores. By 2027, this figure is projected to soar to INR 941 crores, reflecting a robust growth rate of 17.8%.

These modern sanctuaries offer more than just meeting spaces. With swanky lounges, gourmet restaurants, fitness facilities, and luxury amenities like spas and art galleries, they provide a holistic lifestyle experience. Standalone clubs such as Quorum, BLVD, and Soho House, alongside established hospitality brands like Chambers and Privie, cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

Beyond business dealings, these clubs host a myriad of events, from art exhibitions to book readings, creating vibrant social hubs for India's upwardly mobile professionals.

The Western region of India, particularly Mumbai, leads the way in club membership, contributing over half of the revenue and membership volume. Mumbai boasts a rich array of clubs, including SOHO House, Taj Chamber, and Modernist, attracting discerning individuals with a penchant for luxury and innovation.

Membership in these clubs is highly selective, often based on referrals and invitation. Alongside financial status, criteria such as professional achievements and future vision play a pivotal role in admission, instilling a sense of pride among members.
