Our History

For decades, Rotary frowned upon mixing business with the good deeds that Rotarians often performed. That idea conflicted with the fact that Rotary was started in 1905 as a business networking club. It was not until the mid-2000’s that individual Rotary clubs began to feel comfortable about integrating business networking back into the Rotary World.

The very first Rotary Means Business group was founded by Rotary Club of San Francisco in 2004. In early November 2013, Rotary Means Business was approved as the newest Fellowship of Rotary International.

Rotary Means Business District 3201 (“RMB Coimbatore”) was chartered as 1st chapter in India and 7th chapter of Rotary Means Business International on 06 December 2015. And now, the Rotary Means Business Fellowship is operating in more than 30 countries through 27 local chapters, on every continent except Antarctica.

Rotary Means Business’s goal is to build business relationships among Rotarians based on the principles of the Four Way Test which talks about honesty, fairness, friendship and benefit to all concerned. Prior to Rotary Means Business (RMB), other than through the regular weekly meetings, there was no clear outlet to support the development of business interests. Monthly RMB meetings are open to all Rotarians and provide a chance for Rotarians to socialize, share business expertise, and build referral networks. And create the opportunity to do business. In short, RMB connects Rotarians in business.

We would like to be acknowledged as the best chapter in our country.

Mission Statement
