About MBA

A network of Maratha business owners, organised into local gads that meet, refer and grow together.

Who we are

MBA brings Maratha business owners together in local groups called gads. Members meet every month, pass each other referrals, and grow their businesses on the strength of trust built within the community.

Through the MBA app, every member can find, contact and do business with members across all gads, not just their own. The network is organised state by state, region by region, so that wherever a member does business, there are fellow members nearby.

Our vision

A Maratha business community where every entrepreneur has a network of people they trust behind them.

Our mission

To build a strong gad in every district, connect members through regular meetings and referrals, and turn cooperation into real business for every member.

How a gad works

A gad is a local chapter of business owners. Each one is led by three officers chosen from its members.

  • Chairperson
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  1. Monthly meeting

    The gad meets once a month. Members can also attend other gads' meetings as visitors.

  2. Referrals

    Members pass business leads to one another and record when a referral becomes a deal.

  3. One-to-ones

    Between meetings, members sit down in pairs to understand each other's business.

  4. Growth

    Trust built in the room turns into work outside it.
