About Us
Get to know us
Incorporated on 7th December, 2021 as a Sec.8 not-for-profit Company, BCOC was founded by a like-minded group of individuals consisting of professionals, thought leaders, and social entrepreneurs with an aim to provide opportunity for economic development and sustainable growth to members of BCOC. Our education system provides theoretical knowledge, but needs further nurturing and upskilling to gain employment or create an enterprise to become self-reliant and also help others in achieving their socio-economic goals. Thus, BCOC was formed to bridge the gap between the education and gainful employment by mutual exchange of ideas, business, job and wealth creation opportunities, thereby achieve collective growth.

Vision
This led to the Vision of BCOC being ‘LET’S GROW TOGETHER’

Mission
• To provide a networking platform to members for exchanging ideas with each other for growing together.
• To facilitate job opportunities to 1000 bright minds
• Nurturing 50 grass root entrepreneurs/start-ups to reach the next level i.e. from small-size (start-up & up to 5crs enterprise value) to mid-size (from Rs5 - Rs500crs enterprise value) & then ultimately become Unicorn.
