What it is An online business networking and referral meetup hosted by the Business Networking Community, a group that runs recurring sessions for business owners and professionals who want to build genuine relationships rather than collect business cards. The session is scheduled for 5 PM and runs for approximately one hour.
Who it's for
What to expect The format is built around structured introductions and referral exchange rather than passive listening. Participants typically get a short window to introduce themselves and their business, state clearly what they offer, and describe the kind of referral or introduction that would be most useful to them. The remainder of the session is used for open networking, follow-up conversations, and matching attendees whose needs complement each other.
Why referral-focused networking matters Referral-based lead generation remains one of the lowest-cost and highest-trust channels for small and early-stage businesses in India, where personal and community networks often drive the first set of customers. Meetups like this compress the trust-building process by putting a group of business owners in the same virtual room with an explicit expectation of giving and receiving introductions.
Agenda highlights
Format and logistics The event is held online, so attendees from any city can join without travel. The listed timing is 5 PM to 6 PM IST. Since the session is online and community-run, participants should join a few minutes early with a working microphone and a one-line description of their business ready.
