Join
Join ANG when membership opens, through the club launch and the September intake at the Clubs & Societies Fair.
Orientation
A welcome session covering the four chapters, what participation looks like, and the ways members can contribute or lead from their first semester.
Peer circle
A structured, small-group discussion where members compare contexts and work through family enterprise frameworks together.
Mentor match
Pairing with an Ashoka alumnus working in or advising a family enterprise, with a mid-year check-in built into the December calendar.
Speaker session
A fireside conversation with a founder, successor, or professional manager. Members ask the questions; nobody lectures.
Convene your own
Propose a session to the Chapter Head whose area it fits, and run it yourself, with the club handling coordination, logistics, and approvals.
It tells us you want to hear from the club before the September intake. Nothing is assessed or filtered.
