What this is

BNI is a referral organisation. Around eighty business owners meet every Thursday at eight for one reason: to pass each other business. One member per category, so nobody in the room competes with anybody else. Since this chapter began its members have passed each other over seventy-one thousand referrals worth more than four hundred and fifty crore.

As of 30 September 2026, from the BNI Goa Regional Office. Referrals and business are for the last twelve months (*worldwide: September 2025 to August 2026). Seat value is the average business a member's seat brings in a year.

Is your category open?

Every member holds one category, and the six Power Teams show who holds what. If yours is open, the Application Review Coordinator, Deepak Kashyap, will walk you through what membership asks — twice, so nobody is surprised later. If it clashes with a member's, the region's process applies and takes longer; we will tell you at each step.

What it costs, and what it returns

An annual membership fee to BNI plus a monthly chapter fee that pays for the room and the breakfast — every rupee of it shown to members, line by line, in the chapter's books. Members will tell you what they got for it; the lifetime average here is fifty-five lakh of business per member.

Coming twice

You can visit twice. After that the chapter will ask you to decide — and so, gently, will we.

Questions visitors ask

When and where does BNI Elegance meet?

Every Thursday morning at Fortune Miramar, Panjim, Goa. Doors open at 7.30 for open networking; the meeting runs from 8.00 to about 9.30. The term calendar lists every date, including the few that move.

What happens at a BNI meeting?

Open networking over breakfast from 7.30. At 8.00 every member introduces their business in a few seconds, visitors introduce theirs, a member gives a longer feature presentation and there is a short education slot. Then referrals and thank-yous for closed business are passed in the open.

Can I visit, and how do I register?

Yes. Register for a seat on this website, or through the BNI Visitor Invite Link, and tell the member who invited you. A visitor host will meet you at the door and introduce you to the members you should know.

Does it cost anything to visit?

Registering is free. A meeting fee for the room and the breakfast is paid at the door; your host will tell you the amount.

How many times can I visit?

You can visit twice. After that the chapter will ask whether you would like to join.

How do I join BNI Elegance?

BNI has one member per business category. If yours is open, you first give an Expression of Interest, then sit a Pre-Induction Orientation with the Membership Committee to agree what membership asks of you. Once the committee approves, you receive the membership application, and you are inducted at a Thursday meeting with a mentor for your first ninety days.

What does membership cost?

An annual membership fee to BNI, plus a monthly chapter fee that pays for the room and the breakfast. Your host or the Application Review Coordinator will give you the current figures.

What is BNI?

BNI (Business Network International) is the world's largest referral organisation. Its members meet every week to pass each other business, on the principle of Givers Gain.

We keep your name, trade and mobile, and who invited you, so a host can call you on Friday and invite you back. Nothing goes anywhere else and we do not pass it on. Ask any host, or the Lead Visitor Host on 70730 87048, and we delete it the same day.
