Rajkot runs on machines and metal. It is the heart of India's bearing, casting, and CNC ecosystem, with the Aji and Metoda GIDC estates packed with foundries, machine-tool makers, and auto-component…
This chapter is forming. 6 cities already meet as AI.Bharath.CLUB. Rajkot is next, and the first twelve members set its character. We bring the structure, the playbook, and organizers who've done it before.
You know the smell of Metoda GIDC at shift change, the clang of a lathe somewhere near Aji Dam, and a plate of chikki with a Rajkoti chai that tastes like home in a way no other city's does. You remember bites at Jay Siyaram or a late-night thali, garba at Race Course Ground that ran till your feet gave out, and the slow weekend pull of Kaba Gandhi No Delo. The city built half of Saurashtra's machines without ever losing its small-town warmth. Pull up a stool at the next adda and bring whatever you're tinkering with.
No cold rooms, no badge-scanning, no pitch decks. Just Rajkot people who get it, the ones you'll wish you'd met five years ago.
The bearing, casting, and CNC units around Aji and Metoda GIDC can put computer-vision quality checks, predictive maintenance, and AI-assisted CAD/CAM to work right on the shop floor.
Students from Marwadi University, Atmiya University, and Government Engineering College who want hands-on AI projects get a place to build and ship something that actually runs.
Saurashtra's family-run manufacturers and traders pick up practical AI for billing, inventory, exports, and customer outreach. Plain tools, better margins, nothing oversold.
Bearings, castings, CNC. Now intelligence.
From the 150 Feet Ring Road IT offices to Kaba Gandhi No Delo, meetups and small tables with the people who do this work in Rajkot.
Your Rajkot card works in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Puducherry too.
A job board, member asks, and people who vouch for each other when an opportunity opens.
Help your company, campus, or community adopt AI well, with the whole club behind you.
If you build, machine, code, or run a business in Rajkot, this table is for you, free to join and proudly local. Bring a problem from your own workshop, and let's get Saurashtra's machines thinking together.
