BNI is a platform where members work as sales promoters for each other. Every member constantly explores opportunities to generate business for fellow members. Often even the best of the dedicated sales professionals employed by an organisation may not match up to this motivated sales force.

Members globally passed on 10.1 million referrals which translated into over $14.8 Bn worth of business in the preceding twelve months alone. The BNI, Hyderabad has over 1100 staunch advocates of the concept across 26 chapters, as it completes six years of existence here.
BNI India and BNI Hyderabad, have been star performers, last year alone BNI Hyderabad facilitated Rs 650 crs worth of business transactions and is continuing with its spree of fostering the growth of entrepreneurship and business in this part of the country, says Satish Kumar.
It currently has over 23,000 members in 443 plus local chapters in 58 cities of India, which are equally robust and growing from strength to strength. Members in India passed 12,39,707 referrals, which generated Rs 8411 crores in closed business.
We are one organisation which is persistently working towards making our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's dream of 'Make in India', a realty, opines Ms Shah. Each of our members is hungry for that extra business and this quest will propel the growth of Indian business, she adds.
