1st April 2026, Mumbai: Bombay Founders’ Club has completed two years of building a curated community of founders, investors, and creators within the startup ecosystem. The milestone was marked with a Founders’ Gala Night hosted in Mumbai, which brought together over 200 members of the community for an evening of conversations, collaborations, and announcements reflecting the next phase of its growth.
Over the past two years, Bombay Founders’ Club has evolved from a small informal gathering of founders into a curated ecosystem platform bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, operators, and creators across industries. Through a series of closed-door meetups, collaborative experiences, and partner-led gatherings, the community has positioned itself as a space for high-trust conversations and meaningful connections within the startup ecosystem. In a short span, the club has hosted multiple founder-led sessions, partnered with emerging brands, and built a growing network that continues to expand across cities, with plans to take the format international in the coming year.
The gathering reflected the club’s curated format, with participation intentionally limited to selected founders, investors, and creators. While interest in the event exceeded available spots, the format was kept selective to maintain the community’s focus on meaningful interactions and high-quality conversations rather than scale for its own sake.
The evening began with informal networking sessions, with experience partners including Glint, Sula, and Igloo supporting the gathering. Adding a distinct element to the night, Muks Robotics introduced a humanoid robot that interacted with guests, quickly becoming a talking point across the room.
The stage segment featured remarks from Avik Ashar, who opened the program and set the context for the evening, followed by Krishan Anand, founder of Secret Ski Party, who announced a collaboration with Bombay Founders’ Club for an upcoming experience in Sonmarg.
Addressing the gathering, Devarsh Saraf, Founder & CEO, Bombay Founders’ Club, reflected on the journey of the community and its plans ahead.
“What started as a small room of founders has grown into a trusted community of builders, investors, and creators who genuinely support each other. As we complete two years, we are excited to take Bombay Founders’ Club beyond India and build global rooms where meaningful conversations and collaborations can happen,” said Devarsh Saraf.
In the same address, the community announced plans to expand internationally later this year, marking a new phase in its growth as it looks to replicate its curated, invite-only format in global startup hubs.
The evening also featured experience zones and curated hampers from community partners including Svya, Bombay Snacking Company, Sweat Eraz, Snackible, Bibliophiles, Enerchi, and Glint, adding to the celebratory nature of the milestone gathering.
