Strategic Design of Meetings
Ms. Ruchi Shah explains the strategy behind these meetings: “Our aim is to provide maximum networking time in a minimal number of meetings. By having 8 cluster meets and 4 mega meets annually, we ensure that every member gets ample opportunity to connect and collaborate with others in their chapter.”
Mrs. Rachana Tated and Ms. Rasshmi Chhajjer highlight the importance of trust in business networking. They believe that by meeting different members each month, participants can build stronger relationships. “Trust is essential for business referrals.

Additionally, we offer Business Podcasts to help our members stand out,” she shares.
GrOath has already attracted significant attention from Ahmedabad’s business community. With over 50 different business categories represented, the organization is growing rapidly. The current offer includes all meetings, business podcasts, workplace videography, and professional photoshoots for Rs 32,000.
Leadership and Expansion
Presidents Mr. Hardik Shah and Mr. Jay Deliwala are committed to fostering business growth through networking. They emphasize that GrOath is not about socializing but about enhancing business opportunities. “We aim to grow our members’ businesses, networking spheres, and knowledge without diluting our core essence,” they assert.
