Who needs Delhi Gym when you have D’MONDE Members Club?

The recent controversy at Delhi Gymkhana Club has once again turned the spotlight on one of India’s oldest symbols of privilege and exclusivity. For decades, membership to these institutions represented the ultimate marker of social standing.

Their sprawling lawns, colonial architecture and multi-generational waiting lists embodied a certain version of elite India.
That dynamic appears to be changing with India’s wealthy entrepreneurs, startup founders, investors, creators and professionals increasingly bypassing traditional gymkhanas for a different kind of exclusivity: the private members’ club.
