Corporate Connections, a business platform that aims at accelerating executive-level connections across the globe, is gearing up to expand its footprint in India.

The organisation had established its first Chapter at Bengaluru last year. With the launch of a chapter in Coimbatore late last week, Corporate Connections now has two chapters in the country. “We are looking to spread our wings into four more cities such as Chennai, Mumbai, Surat and Ahmedabad in the next few weeks and across 15 cities in three years,” said Robert Gervais, Global President, Corporate Connections.

Speaking on the sidelines of the launch, he said: “This will be an ideal platform for global business leaders to generate exceptional and measurable results through executive networking opportunities. Our proven model has helped executives build strategic and tactical relationships through a structured and supportive environment, and has been a catalyst for change in their businesses and communities. The membership is open to C-level executives and business owners with annual revenues of not less than ₹30 crore. ”

In Coimbatore, the Chapter was launched with initial membership of 10 individuals/business-owners. Veda Bestin, Zonal Director, Corporate Connections said that they would be limiting the membership to 15-20 per chapter.

Further, only one individual from an industry vertical can become a member of a chapter. “If need be, we will consider launching another chapter,” she said in reply to a query.

On the Bengaluru Chapter, Bestin said: “The members have closed business deals worth over ₹250 crore in the last seven months. It has helped make a huge positive difference in their revenue.”
