Business growth can never happen in isolation. Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a strong ecosystem to help business thrive. It needs collaboration, access to opportunities, a strong network and knowledge sharing opportunities.
For decades, the Brahmin community was stereotyped as a job seeker community—highly educated but often missing the entrepreneurial spark or risk-taking attitude. This meant they were absent from wealth-creating or entrepreneurial eco-systems, thereby limiting their access to business networks and collaborative opportunities. Brahmin Business Networking Global (BBNG) is changing this narrative.
What is BBNG?
A Section 8, not-for-profit company, BBNG is committed to helping Brahmin entrepreneurs build strong, sustainable businesses, while creating jobs for others. BBNG aims to provide an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and mentor aspiring brahmin entrepreneurs to make it big in the global business landscape. With structured chapters, virtual global reach, and a mission to transform the community into job givers, BBNG is unlocking a new growth mindset.
7 Ways in which BBNG Unlocks Growth
BBNG is carefully designed to combine the strength of traditional networking with the demands of modern business. BBNG understands that as SME business owners you are wearing multiple hats and would be required to attend to multiple obligations, hence the membership is designed in such a way that you can manage being a member, while ensuring 100 percent focus to your business. Here’s how it stands apart:
1. Structured Chapters Across India and Beyond
BBNG operates through 33 chapters across India, Australia, the USA, and Dubai. There is also a virtual chapter that allows Brahmin entrepreneurs from across the globe to be a member. Each chapter meets once a week, on a specific day over breakfast to ensure members stay connected, accountable, and proactive while not needing to take out time from their business hours. Members are encouraged to refer and recommend each other’s businesses. This helps create a first level sales team that drives word of mouth for your business.
2. Weekly Meetings that Drive Business Outcomes
It is said that small disciplines when repeated with consistency leads to great achievement and that’s the aim of BBNG. With consistent efforts, structured meetings, weekly presentations, local and national events, and recognition across chapters, BBNG helps your business get visibility and leads. Weekly meetings are not social gatherings but platforms where members share business updates, explore referrals, and present their business capabilities to fellow members and visitors. All chapters have 3-4 offline meetings and 1 online meeting every month, to ensure maximum participation,flexibility for those who need to travel and an opportunity for global visitors to participate.
3. Global Connections with Local Relevance
Entrepreneurs often struggle to break geographical barriers. With BBNG, members can attend cross chapter meetings, do 1-2-1 meetings with members from other chapters - from across the globe and nurture relationships. This helps members connect with other Brahmin entrepreneurs within India and overseas, opening up trade, export, and partnership opportunities that were earlier out of reach. It is a great opportunity to build human connections that can then open doors in new locations.
4. Strong Leadership and Governance
BBNG is guided by a team of dedicated directors and associate directors at national and regional level who ensure transparency and focus. The directors and associate directors are responsible for setting up processes, bringing in new initiatives and identifying new avenues to promote members and BBNG as a platform. As a section 8 company, BBNG is a not for profit organization, and is built purely with the intent of community development and member growth. The organization and its members have a symbiotic relationship, with each benefitting from the other’s growth.
5. Transforming Identity: From Job Seekers to Job Givers
The larger mission of BBNG is to reposition the Brahmin community as wealth creators and employers. By encouraging entrepreneurship, offering mentoring, and creating a strong support system, BBNG is helping members move from job dependency to building enterprises that generate employment. Brahmin community is known to be well-read, well-educated and highly driven individuals who have been the backbone of developing some world-class businesses,however the community is not seen as a risk taker, or ambitious disruptors who can build profitable businesses. This perception is being changed by BBNG, one member at a time.
6. Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration
BBNG is a community of like-minded individuals striving towards the singular goal of upliftment of the community in the entrepreneurial journey. In business, mistakes can be costly, hence a community that supports you and is focused on your growth can be an amazing support for a budding entrepreneur. BBNG is this safe space where, there is scope to learn from others' experience, knowledge is exchanged freely, and collaborators can be found easily to grow your business.
7. Emotional Support and Inspiration
Running a business is like firing on all cylinders and it can lead to burnout or loneliness as not many in your immediate circle might understand your dilemmas. With a like-minded community like BBNG, you can find encouragement during tough times, and motivation to look at things from a different perspective. BBNG acts as a potent antidote to entrepreneurial loneliness.
