What Our Members, Partners & Mentors Say

"Joining the Surat IT Community has been a pivotal move for my business. Beyond just networking, it's a space where we share real-world case studies and operational strategies that you won't find in any textbook. Seeing over 700 founders collaborate rather than compete is proof that Surat is the next big tech destination. It's an essential platform for any IT leader looking to scale."

"I still remember the very first Surat IT Community event back in 2021 at Dil Se Re Restaurant. Around the same time, we had just started The Clueless Company, and that event became one of our first real connections with Surat's tech ecosystem. It's been more than 4.5 years and many events since then, and I'm happy to say I've seen SIC grow into a serious backbone for IT founders in Surat. The networking, knowledge sharing, and sense of community they've built has played a real role in shaping how we think about building and scaling in this city. Proud to be part of SIC and excited to see where this community takes Surat's tech ecosystem next."

"SIC gave us a platform to showcase our product to 700+ IT founders who became our earliest advocates. The peer-to-peer knowledge exchange here is unlike anything I have experienced in any other business group. Every CEO meetup teaches me something new."

Being surrounded by 700+ like-minded founders who are all pushing Surat forward keeps me motivated every single day."

"SIC is doing very good work by supporting the IT community and making Surat the SaaS capital. They not only organise events but work together as co-opetitors to make Surat an IT hub in the real sense. I can see this community as an adhesive for growth, system and happiness."

"Sponsoring SIC was one of the smartest growth decisions we made for Skydo. We were looking to reach IT founders who deal with international clients and payments — and SIC put us in the same room as 700+ of them. The founders here are sharp, ambitious, and exactly the kind of people who need what Skydo offers. The credibility that comes from being part of the SIC ecosystem is unmatched."

"Certbar has been a member of SIC for 5 years. The community is full of open-minded founders who are willing to open up their success playbooks.

I have personally learnt many things from this community, and along the way I have also made many good friends — something I truly value. What I like most is that the community is not only about technical discussions, but also about business ideas, growth, networking, and continuous learning.

Many individuals receive immediate solutions to various business challenges, whether related to technology, strategy, or financial health. The events organized by SIC are highly impactful and effectively address real-world challenges in the current scenario.
