About MEE
A modern community
rooted in tradition.
Maheshwari Emerging Entrepreneurs (MEE) is a fast-growing, member-driven community of Maheshwari founders, business leaders, chartered accountants, professionals, investors and next-generation entrepreneurs — born in Surat and scaling across India and the world.
We exist for one reason: to make Maheshwari entrepreneurs the strongest, most connected and most respected business community globally. Through curated meetups, workshops, industrial visits, mentorship and lifelong friendships, MEE helps every member bond, learn and grow together.
MEE is a registered Section 8 non-profit, governed by an elected core team and chaired by CA Murli Somani.
