By invitation only  ·  Founding batch

You cannot apply to Aureus Circle. You can only be invited.

A private circle of vetted Indian business owners. Every member was recommended by another member and approved by our management. There is no other way in.

I have an invitation code I do not have one
Why the door is closed

A room is only as good as the people let into it.

Open networks fill up with anyone who signs up. We do the opposite: a small number of people, each vouched for, each approved, each in a category nobody else in the room occupies.

One member per category

Your room never contains a direct competitor, so every member can share a lead, a supplier or a client without worry. When a category is taken, it is taken.

Two keys, not one

A member has to put their name behind you, and then our management has to approve you. Neither key works alone.

A founding batch of 50

The first 50 seats carry the founding rate. When they are claimed, the founding rate and your category are gone, and the next members join at standard rates.

How you get in

Six steps, and one of them is out of your hands.

1

A member recommends you

You receive a personal invitation code by email or link. It works once, only for you.

2

You submit a full application

About you, your business, what you sell and what you need, and why you want in. The more complete it is, the better we can judge it.

3

Management decides

Every application is reviewed by our management. Approval is at our sole discretion and the decision is final. We do not give reasons.

4

If approved, you are enrolled — free

You get free online access to the founding batch until 26 January 2027, with a category of your own. You are confirmed on what you contribute: your profile, your Gives and Asks, your introductions.

5

Confirmed members join at launch

Confirmed members pay the founding fee and take their seat when Aureus Circle launches on 26 January 2027, with monthly summits in Mumbai and Pune.

6

Then it is your turn to vouch

Every approved member can recommend 10 people. Every person who is approved gets 10 of their own. The circle grows only as fast as its members' judgement.

How members are selected

Two decisions. Both are ours.

Getting a seat is not one yes. We decide who is let in, and then we decide who stays on as a confirmed founding member.

Decision 1 · Approval

Who we let in

Our management reads every application personally. Here is what we look at:

  • A real, operating business, and you as its owner, founder or senior decision-maker
  • Your circle by turnover, and whether your category is still open in it
  • How clearly you say what you sell, what you need and what you can offer others
  • Your LinkedIn, website and business details, which we check
  • The standing of the member who recommended you
Decision 2 · Confirmation

Who stays as a founding member

Approval gets you enrolled, free, until 26 January 2027. In that time we watch what you put in:

  • A complete, honest profile
  • Gives and asks you post, and the introductions and referrals you make
  • How quickly and reliably you respond to other members
  • Feedback from members you deal with, and your conduct

Members we confirm pay the annual fee. If we don't confirm you, you owe nothing.

This tells you what we look at, not how it adds up. Both decisions are taken by our team at its sole discretion. We contact approved applicants only and do not give reasons for any decision.

Your app, and the house rules

Once you're approved, everything happens in the app.

Download Aureus Circle now so you're ready. You can sign in once we approve you, with the mobile number you applied with and a one-time code we send you.

What you do in the app

  • Post what you can give and what you need. The app matches them to other members and alerts you the moment something fits.
  • Make introductions and referrals, and thank the members who help you.
  • Recommend up to 10 people once you are approved, from the Recommend screen.

The rules every member keeps

Our Code of Trust. A serious breach means removal from the network, whatever your circle or how long you've been in.

  • Be honest. Truthful profiles and posts. No misrepresenting your business or your numbers.
  • Mean what you post. Only post gives and asks you will act on. No fake posts to look busy.
  • Keep it confidential. What members share with you, including contact details, stays with you.
  • Give, don't just take. Members who only extract are asked to leave.
  • Respect every member. No harassment, discrimination or abuse.
  • No pitching. No recruiting for unrelated schemes, MLM or spam.

Approval is the only way in.

Every application is decided by our management, entirely at its discretion. Decisions are final. We do not give reasons for a decision and we do not enter into correspondence about it. If you are not approved, it is not a judgement on you or your business — we build each circle deliberately, and there are only so many seats.

Your invitation

Enter your invitation code

It looks like AC-7K3M9XQ4 and came from a member or from our founding team.

About you

Management reads every word. Be specific.

Your business

So we can place you in the right circle and category.

What you do and what you need

This is what our matching works from.

Why you

Members are confirmed on what they contribute, so tell us what you bring.

Your details are used only to decide on your application. We never sell or share them.

Your application is with our management.

Thank you. We have emailed you a confirmation — if you cannot find it, check your spam folder.

If you are approved, you will hear from us by email. Management does not give reasons for decisions, so please do not write to ask about one.

No code?

Ask a member, or ask to be considered.

Most seats go to people a member recommends. If you do not know one, tell us who you are. Management reads every request and may invite some of them. We cannot promise a reply.
