What Sports Club Gujarat does

The Sports Club of Gujarat Limited, operating as Sports Club Gujarat, is a private members club founded in 1965 by Chinubhai Chimanbhai and a group of Ahmedabad businessmen, originally driven by a passion for cricket. Located at Sardar Patel Stadium in the heart of Ahmedabad, the club operates from a building designed by renowned architect Charles Correa (also the architect of the Gandhi Ashram). The club offers a comprehensive suite of sports facilities including a swimming pool (Aqua Point), badminton courts, billiards (one of the largest rooms in Ahmedabad with four tables), a fitness center (Body Zone) with certified trainers, cricket lawns hosting T20 tennis ball tournaments, table tennis, squash, pickleball, card room, music room, and home theatre. Beyond sports, the club provides accommodation, banquet and event halls (The Occasions Hall, The Central Prism), dining (main restaurant, cafe, sports cafe), a library, and outdoor lawn areas.

The business model is a traditional private club membership model with multiple tiers including Ordinary, Life, Institutional, Provisional, and New Unit memberships. Revenue is generated from membership fees, dining, events, accommodation, and sports coaching; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The club is governed by a Board of Directors elected by members and operates under CIN U92411GJ1963PLC001183 as an incorporated entity in Gujarat, India. It serves affluent Ahmedabad residents seeking premium leisure, social, and sports facilities. There is no digital platform, mobile app, or disclosed technology architecture; member interaction is supported by a basic web portal and social media presence.

The operating footprint is confined to a single Ahmedabad location with no disclosed geographic expansion plans. The club celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2025 and continues to hold annual general meetings and publish annual reports, indicating sustained operational activity. Its competitive position rests on heritage, prime location, architectural significance, and breadth of facilities under one roof.
