MindEscapes® Launches the Club Excellence Awards; Sets a Gold Standard for India’s Private Members Clubs

Dipali Sikand, Chief Inspiration Officer, MindEscapes® Group said “Club Excellence awards, like everything we do under the MindEscapes® Group banner, are backed by a passionate need for data-driven excellence. These awards have been instituted not just to honour achievements of private members clubs in India, but to set benchmarks based on actionable feedback for clubs to evolve and thrive.”

The awards framework, process, and independent validation are by LeadCap Ventures to ensure the ranking and selection process is rigorous and impartial. By combining real member feedback with robust data analytics and third-party validation, the Club Excellence Awards set a much-needed benchmark for credibility and transparency in private members club recognition.

Speaking on the occasion of the announcement, Sangeeth Varghese, Founder & Chairman, LeadCap Ventures commented “The heart of the Club Excellence Award is its rigorous survey and unbiased validation—giving every club member a voice in setting new standards of excellence”

The awards will be based on multi-stage validation, from member voices to expert reviews. The scoring weightage of the unique three-stage scoring and validation process is as follows:

• Member Voting (Weight: 70%): The primary score is driven by member ratings across the five defined pillars.
• Expert Panel Assessment (Weight: 30%): An expert panel, comprising industry specialists, evaluates clubs on documented evidence, operational standards, innovation, and community impact, ensuring professional rigour.
• Composite Scoring and Normalisation: Scores from members and experts, combined through a transparent, weighted system, and normalised for fairness across clubs of varying sizes and response rates.

The Club Excellence Awards stand on the pillars of a scientific, transparent, and deeply member-centric approach. The award’s foundation is a comprehensive survey process—one of the largest of its kind in India’s club sector—designed to ensure fairness, credibility, and inclusivity. Winners will be recognised in ceremonies across India’s major cities. They will also be invited to participate in the Club Excellence Program—a co-delivered consultancy for continued growth, powered by the insights of the survey.
