Banyan Tribe was founded with an intention to build a great ecosystem to work and network for business owners and service professionals from all fields.
The first question asked by Kunal Guha, Founder and Chief-Editor of Global Business Line is: How did this idea come to her mind? Answering this, she said that being an entrepreneur, network or connection with people are the most important and foremost things but she was unable to find any community that was transparent and supported members. Therefore, with the help of her partner she founded this community to facilitate business owners with a nurturing habitat where they can thrive by building relationships and helping each other grow.
Banyan Tribe is quite symbolic. A tree that is there forever, it is ever-expanding. Banyan tree is one of the most venerated trees in Nature.
