Surat (Gujarat) [India], July 14: Surat: BNI Surat will organise the 10th edition of its flagship BNI Business Conclave on July 18 and 19 at the Surat International Exhibition and Convention Centre (SIECC). The two-day event will bring together entrepreneurs, professionals, and business leaders from across India and overseas for networking, business opportunities, and knowledge sharing.
Sharing details about the event, Gaurav Singhvi, Executive Director of BNI Surat, said the conclave has completed a decade since its inception and has grown into one of the region’s leading business networking events.
He said that BNI’s structured networking model has played a significant role in transforming the way businesses connect and grow in Surat since the organisation established its presence in the city in 2016. Over the years, thousands of entrepreneurs have expanded their businesses through referrals and professional relationships.
“While much of the business world is driven by competition, BNI believes in collaboration. Our focus is on creating an ecosystem where entrepreneurs support one another, build meaningful relationships, and grow together through trust and mutual success,” Singhi said.
