The elite gymkhana clubs are not that helpful. Mostly young nepo kids. Their dads are the ones on CII and FICCI committees who are the big fish.
Remember also that Shahid Kapoor married Mira Kapoor on the advice of the Radha Swami Satsang Beas. So maybe you can find a rich Bollywood actor/actress as a life partner to at such places too!

I live in a Tier 2 city in South India. I have a a decent practice as a newly independent lawyer with only 7 years.
Instead of going to clubs - I have gone to caste/community meetings. Mine is a relatively wealthy OBC Caste.
I have been able to get matters through these caste organization meetings.
I have friends who have tried going to religious or political party gatherings hoping to make connections and get business.
But caste meetings work better - the level of trust you get at a caste/community meeting is far higher than that at a religious or political meeting.
People trust you, involve you in personal matters and happily give you cases.

Possible to get memberships here?
Delhi Golf Club and Gymkhana are two very prestigious institutions that remain accessible to the elite section of the society. I have heard (and read) that the membership queue for the latter is so long that it can take as long as 30 years to get approval
