Charter 6 Months is the shorter route to Charter-level access. Charter is the strongest individual plan for a full year of pan-India access and visibility. Corporate is built for two team members across two cities. Global adds two international cities plus one Indian city.
Is GST included in the displayed price?+
The displayed membership price is before GST. The secure PayU checkout and invoice confirm the final applicable GST amount.
Can my co-founder or team member attend?+
Choose Corporate for two co-founders or team members across two selected cities, or Global for multi-city team access across two international cities and one Indian city.
Are flagship summits completely free for members?+
Benefits vary by plan. Charter members and the six-month Charter plan receive member pricing and benefits described in the membership programme. The membership team will confirm the applicable event access before each booking.
What happens after payment?+
The GSC team verifies your details, confirms your home city or selected cities, shares onboarding and community access, and issues the applicable membership acknowledgement.
Can my company sponsor events as well?+
