BNI Premier — 80’s Edition! 📼
Meet the four people who apparently got together for a BNI meeting… but somehow look like the cast of an 80’s blockbuster about networking, referrals and getting things done!
Extreme Right — Amit Thakkar
Director Consultant, BNI Premier
The man with the plan, the strategy and probably a backup plan for the backup plan. If networking had a Director’s Cut, Amit would be directing it!
Centre — Arc. Preeti Lalwani
President, BNI Premier
The President who can smile, speak, motivate, manage the room… and probably still know who hasn’t given their referral! Leadership with a smile and just the right amount of “I’m watching you.” 😄
Centre Left — Mitesh Vora | Bluehands
Secretary Treasurer, BNI Premier
Keeping the minutes, the money and apparently the creative department alive! When everyone else sees a meeting, Mitesh sees a potential branding opportunity.
Bluehands: Because even networking deserves good design.
Extreme Left — Sachin Gada
Lead Visitor Host
The first face visitors meet and the last person they can escape from without hearing, “So… what business do you do?” 😂
If networking had a welcome committee with unlimited energy, Sachin would be the man!
Four people. Four different roles. One common mission:
Build relationships. Create opportunities. Give referrals. Grow together.
Or, in true 80’s language:
Same Chapter.
Same People.
Bigger Energy.
More Referrals.
And absolutely NO boring meetings! 📼🔥

14-DAY 1-2-1 CHALLENGE

WHEN UNIFORMS MEET THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND BUILDINGS.

Sachin Gada of Faith Studio sat down with Vishal Kakde of Svargen, into MEP and BIM, for another BNI Premier 1-2-1.

One works with uniforms that represent businesses and their teams.

The other works with MEP and BIM, where precision, coordination and technology play a critical role in the built environment.

Very different businesses.

Very different expertise.

One conversation.

And that’s exactly what makes a BNI 1-2-1 valuable.

You aren’t sitting across the table to sell.

You’re sitting across the table to understand.

What does their business really do?
Who are their ideal clients?
What problems do they solve?
What does a good referral look like?
And who in your network could benefit from knowing them?

Because the more you understand your fellow members, the easier it becomes to recognise the right opportunity when it appears.

14-DAY 1-2-1 CHALLENGE

ONE MEETING. THREE MEMBERS. A WHOLE LOT MORE TO DISCOVER.

Today, the 1-2-1 Challenge took an interesting turn.

Hashim Bhinderwala of M M Efficient Gadget LLP sat down with Ar. Preeti Lalwani of ETUDE Architects & Designers and Mukesh Lalwani of Ethos Air Conditionings.

That’s right.

This wasn’t a traditional 1-2-1.

It was a 1-3-1.

And sometimes, bringing three different perspectives to the same table makes the conversation even more interesting.

Hashim brings expertise in manufacturing premium door closers and floor springs.

Preeti brings expertise in commercial interior design, with her 40-day concept-to-lock-and-key proposition.

Mukesh brings expertise in air conditioning solutions.

Three different businesses.

Three different areas of expertise.

Three different networks.

But potentially, a whole lot of common ground.

Because when you truly understand what fellow members do, you start seeing opportunities that aren’t obvious at first glance.

Who needs whom?
Who knows whom?
Where can one business complement another?
And what introduction could create value?

That’s the real spirit behind this challenge.

Not simply more meetings.

More conversations.
More understanding.
More connections.
More opportunities.

The 14-Day 1-2-1 Challenge continues.

And now we have to ask...

Who is brave enough to make the next one a 1-3-1?

14-DAY 1-2-1 CHALLENGE

WHEN MUTUAL FUNDS MEET MAGIC.

Mayank Gosar of Softcon Services, into Mutual Funds, sat down with Ketan Lotia, the Illusionist of BNI Premier, for a 1-2-1 that was bound to be a little different.

One works with investments and financial planning.

The other works with illusions, entertainment and the art of making people question what they see.

One deals in numbers.

The other deals in perception.

And somewhere between the two, a conversation began.

That’s what makes a 1-2-1 so interesting.

You sit down expecting to learn about someone’s business.

And you often walk away having learned something about the person, their perspective and their world.

Because networking isn’t about meeting people who are just like you.

It’s about being curious enough to discover what makes every member different.

14-DAY 1-2-1 CHALLENGE

WHEN STORYTELLING MEETS THE WORLD BEYOND THE STOCK MARKET.

Urvi Shah of Aakriti Cinematic Solutions sat down with Nish*t Doshi of Shriseys, into unlisted shares, for another BNI Premier 1-2-1.

One works with visual storytelling.

The other explores opportunities in the world of unlisted companies.

Creative thinking meets investment thinking.

Two very different businesses.

One conversation.

And that’s where a 1-2-1 becomes more than a meeting.

Because the real value isn’t in discovering what someone sells.

It’s in understanding how they think, who they help, what their ideal client looks like and what kind of introductions could genuinely make a difference.

A strong network isn’t built by surrounding yourself with people who are exactly like you.

It’s built by connecting with people who bring something different to the table.

14-DAY 1-2-1 CHALLENGE

WHEN FITNESS MEETS LAW, THE CONVERSATION CAN GO ANYWHERE.

Huzefa Lokhandwala, Fitness Expert and Master Trainer, sat down with Adv. Purvi Asher for another BNI Premier 1-2-1.

Two completely different professions.

Two different perspectives.

One table.

And that’s exactly what makes a BNI 1-2-1 so valuable.

Because you don’t meet just to talk about what you do.

You meet to understand the person behind the profession.

What drives their business?
Who do they serve?
What kind of people should they be introduced to?
What challenges do they solve?
And where can your own network potentially create value?

You may walk into a 1-2-1 expecting one kind of conversation.

You never quite know where you’ll walk out.

That’s the beauty of a diverse business network.

14-DAY 1-2-1 CHALLENGE

VALUE COMES IN MANY FORMS.

Gaurav Thakkar of Safal Finance, into unsecured loans, sat down with Kavan Modi of Kavan Gems & Jewels for another BNI Premier 1-2-1.

Finance and jewellery.

Two very different businesses.

Two very different customer conversations.

But put two entrepreneurs across the table and something interesting happens.

You stop looking at the business category and start understanding the person behind it.

Who are their customers?
What challenges do they face?
What does a great referral look like?
Who do they want to meet?
And where can your own network create an introduction?

That’s the real purpose of a 1-2-1.

Not to find someone who can immediately sell you something.

But to understand someone well enough that, when the right opportunity crosses your path, you know exactly who to call.
