Questions
Frequently asked questions
Everything founders across Noida, Delhi, Gurgaon and the wider NCR ask before applying to EO Noida.
Who can join EO Noida?+
EO Noida is open to founders, co-founders, owners and controlling shareholders of companies that meet EO's global membership criteria. You must be an owner rather than a professional manager, and your business must be operating and generating verified revenue.
What is the revenue criteria for EO membership?+
The global EO criteria is a minimum of US$1 million in annual gross revenue. There are recognised alternatives for venture-backed founders (capital raised) and for certain professional services and franchise businesses — the chapter manager can confirm which route applies to you.
What are the membership fees?+
Membership includes EO Global dues and EO Noida chapter dues, which are shared with you during the application process. Write to manager@eonoida.org for the current fee structure.
What are the steps to apply?+
Complete the application form on our Apply page, meet the membership team for an initial conversation, provide revenue verification, meet the chapter board, and on approval you are onboarded and placed into a Forum.
How much time does EO membership take?+
Plan for roughly one day a month: a half-day Forum meeting plus chapter learning events. Members also opt into retreats, MyEO communities and global EO events through the year.
How is EO different from TiE, BNI or YPO?+
BNI is primarily a referral network and TiE focuses on mentoring and startup ecosystem building. EO is neither a lead-generation group nor a lecture series — its core is the confidential Forum, a peer group of 8–10 founders who share experience under strict confidentiality. YPO is closest in spirit but is built around young chief executives of larger organisations, including professional CEOs, whereas EO is exclusively for entrepreneurs who own their businesses.
Can entrepreneurs from Delhi, Gurgaon or Ghaziabad join EO Noida?+
Yes. Our members come from across Delhi NCR — Noida, Greater Noida, Delhi, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad and Faridabad. Many members live in one part of NCR and run their business in another, and chapter events are held across the region.
Is what I share in EO confidential?+
Yes. Confidentiality is the founding rule of EO Forum and applies to everything discussed in the room. It is what allows members to bring genuinely difficult business, family and personal issues to their peers.
