Presidency Club

What Presidency Club does

Presidency Club, formally the Baroda Presidency Sports Club (BPSC), is a sports and lifestyle club located near Podar World School, Sherkhi, Vadodara, Gujarat, operated by Presidency Hospitality Ltd. The property combines sports facilities (semi-Olympic swimming pool, synthetic tennis courts, badminton courts, cricket ground with turf wickets and bowling machine, volleyball, putting golf, gymnasium, billiards, snooker, table tennis, adventure area with rock climbing), four food and beverage outlets (Courtyard Food Court, Tandoori Tadka, The Legends restaurant, Band Stand pool-side cafe), banquet and event venues (capacity up to 5,000 guests; MICE configurations for 100/400/800 delegates), and on-site accommodation (10 rooms for ~70 persons, with adjacent 12 service apartments at Presidency Studios in Alkapuri). Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct phone and WhatsApp inquiries, walk-ins, referrals, and ongoing experiential events such as Garba/Navratri celebrations, food festivals, sports tournaments, celebrity talk shows, movie screenings, and festival programming.

The business runs on a hybrid revenue model: recurring tiered annual memberships (Gold, Silver, Classic) with redemption points, complimentary swimming, event invites, and birthday/anniversary perks; one-off wedding and large-event bookings with multiple catering packages (Swagat, Lazeez, Royale, Grand Royale); corporate MICE bookings; and ongoing F&B and reciprocal-club fees. Members additionally access an affiliation network of 75+ clubs across Indian cities (Mount Abu, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune, and more), using their membership card plus a request letter. There is no technology product, app, or API layer; operations are supported by a website, WhatsApp, phone, and email channels.

Presidency Club is the first club venture of Presidency Hospitality Ltd, a diversified group with three decades of hospitality experience across Gujarat and Maharashtra. The broader group operates Presidency Studios (Vadodara), Presidency Forest County (Rajpipla), Presidency Grande (Pune, in development), Presidency Enclave (Ahmedabad), Presidency Hills District (New Mahabaleshwar mega project), and Presidency Highland Resort (Humbarli). The company is private, headcount 11–50, headquartered in Vadodara, with regional recognition including the Times of India's Best Lifestyle and Leisure Club (2019) and Best Iconic Business Hotel (2020).

Direct peers

• Tollygunge Club: Historic Kolkata-based sports and recreation membership club operating swimming, tennis, cricket, dining and banquet facilities on a subscription model. Directly comparable to Presidency Club's integrated membership + sports + events + F+B structure, with a similar premium Indian family audience.
• Bombay Gymkhana: Long-established Mumbai sports and social club offering cricket, tennis, squash, swimming, dining and banquets to dues-paying members. Closely mirrors Presidency Club's premium membership-club model in Western India, though at a much older and larger scale.
• Poona Club: Long-running Pune sports and social club with comparable sports, dining and event amenities operating on annual subscriptions. Closely comparable on business model and F&B/events monetization, but in Maharashtra rather than Gujarat.
• Delhi Gymkhana (The Gymkhana Club): Premier Delhi membership club with sports facilities, restaurants and event hosting. Comparable to Presidency Club as a tier-1 Indian sports and lifestyle club operating on subscription membership, although positioned for older legacy members rather than new-affluent families.

Broad incumbents

• Club Mahindra (Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India): Subscription-based vacation club network across India with food, sports and event facilities at multiple resorts. Adjacent rather than direct: shares the recurring-membership revenue model and integrated resort amenities, but is primarily a vacation ownership product rather than a local sports & lifestyle club.
• ITC Hotels (MICE & banqueting arm): India's largest premium hotel chain with extensive banqueting, weddings and MICE capabilities. Comparable on the weddings and corporate events revenue stream where Presidency Club competes, but lacks the sports-membership anchor.
• Country Club Hospitality & Holidays (Country Club India): Multi-city Indian operator of membership-based sports, recreation, and vacation clubs across the country. Largest scaled comparable in the membership club category, relevant to Presidency Club's 75-affiliation model and aspiration for multi-city reach, but operates at much greater breadth and lower ARPU.
