EKA CLUB

What EKA CLUB does

EKA Club (legally TransStadia Enterprise Pvt Ltd) operates a premium, privately held integrated sports, hospitality, and lifestyle club in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, under the parent TransStadia group promoted by the Sheth Family. Commencing operations in October 2016 and licensed to operate for a 70-year horizon, the club occupies approximately 500,000 sq. ft. opposite Kankaria Lake Gate No. 3 in Maninagar. Its physical infrastructure includes what it describes as the world's only private-club FIFA Standard 20,000-seater football pitch, 14 sports facilities, a 32,000 sq. ft. pillar-less indoor arena, 3 banquet halls (11,485 sq. ft.), 14 hotel-style suites, a 15,000 sq. ft. fitness centre, 11,850 sq. ft. of temperature-controlled pools, a 5,700 sq. ft. children's edutainment zone, 4 F&B outlets (IKAT, KINAARA, EKA Café, Oasis), and 2-level basement parking for 900 cars. The technology stack is predominantly physical/operational rather than software-defined, with no app, disclosed AI capabilities, or external integrations.

The business model blends subscription-style recurring revenue (annual and monthly membership fees, sports coaching programs, suite stays) with one-time and usage-based revenue (banquet and event rentals, F&B transactions, guest and day-pass fees), supplemented by a planned 50,000 sq. ft. retail layer. Memberships are vetted by a committee comprising Founder Members, Owner Representatives, and Club Management, with personal references required — indicating a closed, high-touch acquisition model rather than mass-market distribution. Members also receive reciprocal access to 84 affiliated clubs across India, the USA, Canada, and Thailand, providing cross-geography utility without additional owned infrastructure. Customers are affluent individuals and families in Ahmedabad (primary), corporate clients hosting events and conferences, Non-Resident Indians maintaining hometown memberships, and children via the EKA Stars youth program. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm has not raised external funding rounds and operates with a lean team of approximately 33 employees.
