Karnavati Club

What Karnavati Club does

Karnavati Club Limited is a private members' recreational club incorporated and operating in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, founded in 1989 and governed by an elected Managing Committee currently led by President Shri Chetan D Shah (term 2025-26). The club occupies a 5,00,000 sq.ft. integrated facility on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway, delivering a combined hospitality, dining, sports, events, and accommodation product to a membership base described as the largest among Ahmedabad's recreational clubs. Member access is gated by a mandatory Smart Card system, with self-service account management, room and banquet booking, and bill payment handled through an online member portal built on eCube CRM (Version 2.2.0, supplied by Rysun); no API, mobile app, or AI features are offered.

The product portfolio comprises 43 AC Deluxe Rooms and 2 Suite Rooms, four restaurants (Sidewalk, Tropicana, Masala Downtown, Sarbhara), an extensive sports and wellness offering (swimming pool with ozone plant, gym, badminton, tennis, squash, billiards, pool, table tennis, aerobics, yoga, volleyball, card room, mind-sport room, jogging track), a Kerala spa, a home theatre, open-air theatre, library, children's park, and event venues including Golden Glory Hall (1,000–1,200 capacity), A/C Marriage Hall, Banquet Hall, and a 10,000 sq.m. Main Lawn. Revenue is generated through one-time membership fees (Corporate Rs. 50,00,000; Ordinary Rs. 35,00,000; Member's Son/Daughter Rs. 15,00,000; NRI USD 35,000; Senior Citizen Rs. 1,00,000 non-refundable plus Rs. 5,000 annual renewal), recurring annual subscriptions (Rs. 2,950–Rs. 4,130 including GST for FY 2025-26), usage-based guest entry charges, accommodation tariffs, activity fees, food and beverage, and event-venue rentals.

The go-to-market is sales-led and member-driven within Ahmedabad only — there is no multi-location footprint, no parent company, no institutional investors, and no publicly disclosed financials. Marketing runs through the official website, Facebook, Instagram, circulars, and the member portal. In mid-2025 the club unveiled a "Karnavati Club & Resort" concept with progress reporting dated 02-07-2025, indicating an upcoming expansion of the property footprint beyond the existing premises.
