Note: Unlike other networking organizations, communities, or forums, BTS is not funded by any institution, and completely depends on the nominal membership charges collected on a monthly or annual basis for the various services rendered to the community. We believe in the power of the Web, Search Engines, and particularly People (Networking) to effectively build and expand this community for the betterment of the local startup and business ecosystem.

The BTS Networking Community strongly believes in the words of the great ancient Tamil poet & philosopher, Thiruvalluvar, on community building, engagement, and support,
“There is nothing more glorious than to persist in the advance of the community.”
We believe in the power of micro-networking meets, and interacting, and cohabitating with individuals at the micro-level. Our vision can be global and grandeur, but our approach has ever been local and granular.
We encourage everybody to be a part of this community initiative, whether you are a successful entrepreneur, an effective CEO, someone just starting to explore entrepreneurship, a working professional, a researcher, an innovator an academician, a student, or even if you’ve failed in entrepreneurship or business big time, we welcome you all with open arms. The community is open to all regardless of gender, position, status, and accomplishments. We aim at breaking the notion that entrepreneurship is a myth, democratizing innovative entrepreneurship, and making it a universal language–one that can be learnt, practiced, and spoken easily. At the same time, we want to create tangible value for every member who trusts the community’s actions and commitments.
We believe that ideas can change the world and innovation is an active force behind wide-scale transformation. Our doors always remain open. There’s something for everyone here. And the community has so much to offer. Yes, we mean it. Come, let’s join hands, work together, support one another, embrace the ideals of business, entrepreneurship and innovation, and take this community initiative forward.

BTS Community considers every one of its services as a product and rightly so, every service can be a standalone platform in its own right and might. Check out our range of BTS products that focus on business networking, startup mentoring, startup funding, and building co-working and office spaces for startups and established businesses. We’re going social too under the name of BTS Town Hall, a distinctly fresh platform to celebrate local heroes and talents in different industry verticals and social spheres. With BTS Quest, we’re reviving the quizzing flavor and taking the excitement across corporate board rooms, institutions, and incubators.
We’re already building profiles for all our paid members through powerful directories that rank high on Search Engines. We have two more platforms that will be game-changer in the education and business ecosystem: Shop Store Business is a dedicated web platform that covers local shop, store, or retail outlet owners and showcases their products effectively.
Schools Institute News is a web platform that covers news related to technology, skill development, innovation, and student entrepreneurship in schools and institutions. Through BTS Market, we currently sell selected digital and physical products from our community’s mentor’s work, selected vendors, and sellers that will assist business owners and founders in doing everyday tasks and micro-manage effectively. We also have mentors and professionals who can help businesses and startups with critical tasks including communication, PR, and event management.
Through BTS Global, we ensure that local businesses scale greater heights and go global faster with the help of overseas connections. BTS Humanize is about humanizing business and technology and transforming potential into best or sustainable practices. BTS Micro aims at conducting mico-level networking meets at the area level. We invite business owners and startup founders, including women, to participate in all our micro-level meets, in addition to corporate executives, institution cell heads, and industry professionals who can also form niche circles and conduct their own meets. You will discover the full potential of this platform as you travel along with us. Last but not the least, we never fail to offer you discounts when you purchase through our site.
