Four Layers. One Community.
From local coffee meet-ups to an elite advisory circle - every layer feeds the next. There's a place for you here, wherever you are in your career.
PL Chapters
10 cities across India - 2-hour coffee meet-ups
Locally-led, grassroots community gatherings in Tier 2 cities. 15-25 practitioners, casual setting, real conversations. Your first step into the network.
Catalyst Forum
Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi - Half-day, 40-60 people
Apply-to-be-selected, invite-only half-day events. C-level speakers, hands-on innovation labs, and the kind of peer access that normally takes years to build.
Catalyst Circle
4-5 elite leaders - Advisory & co-creation
The inner circle. Senior procurement leaders who shape the future of our tools, advise on product direction, and co-create solutions that serve the entire community.
PL Connect
51,000+ members - Always-on digital community
The platform that ties it all together. Discussion forums, expert AMAs, content library, job board, and training programs accessible to every member.
The progression: Chapter member → Forum applicant → Forum attendee → Growth Leader speaker → Executive Speaker → Catalyst Circle.
The Event Procurement Leaders Compete to Attend
Three times a year, in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi, we bring together 40-60 curated procurement leaders for a Saturday morning that changes how they think about their craft. No vendor pitches. No PowerPoint fatigue. Just practitioners sharing what actually works.
C-Level Practitioners Only
6 executive speakers per event. 30 minutes, 5 slides, pure knowledge. No corporate decks.
Innovation Lab
Hands-on with Sourcing Genie - every participant tries AI-powered sourcing with a real project from their own work.

Not a pay-to-attend conference. Open applications, curated selection. The exclusivity is the point.
Saturday Morning Agenda
Executive Breakfast

Lightning Lessons
Growth Leaders share 15-min procurement hacks. Fast, practical, real.
Close & Networking
Connections that outlast the morning. Exchange details. Plan follow-ups.
Grassroots. Local. Real.
In 10 cities across India, volunteer Chapter Leaders host casual 2-hour coffee gatherings where procurement practitioners connect, share, and grow - together.
How Chapters Work
Each chapter is led by a local procurement professional who organizes 2 meet-ups per year. It's deliberately simple — 15-25 people, a coffee venue, a loose theme, and two hours of the kind of honest shop talk you don't get at conferences.
Top chapter attendees get fast-tracked to apply for Catalyst Forum events. Chapter Leaders who hit their goals are guaranteed a Growth Leader slot at the next Forum. Every layer feeds the next.
