Chapter spotlight: VUV Spoorthi chapter, Jayanagara

In this chapter spotlight we visit the Spoorthi chapter of Vishwakannada Udyami Vedike (VUV) in Jayanagara, Bengaluru. Spoorthi (ಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿ) means inspiration, a good name for a chapter that is just getting started.

What a coffee table chapter is

VUV has two kinds of chapter. A coffee table chapter is a new chapter that is still forming: the group that will grow into a full chapter. When it reaches the number of members shown on its page, it can charter as a regular chapter. At the time of writing, Spoorthi's page shows 20 members needed to charter as a regular chapter.

Joining a coffee table chapter means joining as a founding member. You help set the tone of the chapter, and with one seat per business category, the earlier you join, the more categories are still open.

How the chapter works

Spoorthi follows the same model as every VUV chapter:

• One seat per business category, so members refer work to each other instead of competing.
• A weekly meeting where members introduce their business, pass referrals and record the business that comes from them.
• One to ones between meetings to understand each other's business properly.
• Clear membership rules, including at most 5 leaves in each half-year term. A substitute or approved medical leave is not marked absent.
• The VUV app to track referrals, thank-yous for business received, one to ones and attendance.
