Ahmedabad : D32 Business Network, an Australia-based premium business growth community for entrepreneurs, formally launched its Ahmedabad chapter on Friday, marking its expansion into Gujarat’s largest commercial hub.
The launch event, attended by city-based founders, promoters, and senior business leaders, featured stage presentations, panel interactions, and structured networking sessions. The company said the move is aimed at catering to the rising demand for curated, high-impact business networking platforms among small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) and high-growth entrepreneurs.
D32 — internationally known as District32 — positions itself as a structured, strategy-led business community rather than a traditional referral or networking group. The platform is built around accountability frameworks, peer learning, and collaborative growth, with a focus on helping business owners acquire clients, improve operational efficiencies, and build long-term professional relationships.
Speaking at the launch, Pritesh Thakker and Rachit Anklesaria, Gujarat State Partners of D32 Business Network, said the platform is designed to professionalise business networking in the state.
“D32 creates an environment where business owners are surrounded by the right people, the right knowledge, and the right support. Many entrepreneurs often feel isolated in their journey, but through structured networking, genuine referrals, and meaningful relationships, we help them move from being invisible in the market to truly in demand. Ahmedabad has a dynamic business culture, and D32 will act as a catalyst for smarter and more sustainable growth,” Thakker said.
During the event, participants were briefed on D32’s operating model, membership structure, and engagement formats, which include curated events, masterminds, workshops, and specialised training programmes. Members also gain access to peer networks and business tools covering areas such as marketing, finance, human resources, and operations.
Unlike conventional business clubs, D32 follows a selective “no-misfits” membership policy aimed at maintaining a high-quality, growth-oriented community. The network’s referral mechanism is based on relationship-building rather than transactional exchanges, which the company says leads to more reliable business opportunities.
Globally, D32 claims to have more than 5,000 participants across its chapters. The Ahmedabad chapter will follow the same model, offering local entrepreneurs a platform to share expertise, exchange business insights, and leverage collective networks for business expansion.
