A legacy built on sport, culture, and community since 1902. One of Bangalore's most distinguished social clubs at the heart of Basavanagudi.
Founded in 1902, Bangalore City Institute stands as one of the city's most storied social institutions. Nestled in the heritage neighbourhood of Basavanagudi, BCI has been a gathering ground for sports enthusiasts, cultural connoisseurs, and community leaders across generations.
"More than a club — a community, a tradition, a second home."
BCI membership grants access to over a century of tradition — world-class sports, fine dining, cultural events, and a community that lasts a lifetime.
BCI has been my second home since I was a child. The sense of belonging here is something you simply cannot find anywhere else in Bangalore.
The facilities at BCI are exceptional — the swimming pool, the tennis courts, the bars — everything is maintained to the highest standard. Worth every rupee of membership.
From the Annual Day celebrations to the quiet evenings at Pipers Lounge — BCI curates experiences that are truly timeless. A club that honours its heritage beautifully.
