A Claude Builder Community
INDIA
Find your city. Build something real.
Builds is a growing network of in-person communities for people who build with Claude. We gather, we make things, and every meetup ends with working builds on a screen.
What Builds is
A room where the work gets shown.
Every city has more builder talent than it has places where that talent gets seen. Builds exists to change that. You bring an idea, you build it in a room full of other builders, and you show it before you leave.
The communities are self-driven and run by local builders. We welcome everyone who wants to make things, whether you have shipped ten products or none yet. What matters is that you build, and that you show what you built.
One rule holds in every city. Every meetup ends with builds on screen, not slides.
The loop
Build. Show. Ship.
01 / BUILD
Make it real
Bring an idea, or borrow one on the day. Spend the session making it real, next to people doing the same.
02 / SHOW
Put it on screen
Before you leave, you demo. Finished or rough, it goes on the screen. Showing your work is how you get sharper.
03 / SHIP
Send it live
The best builds do not stay in the room. They go live, they find users, and they become the proof that pulls in the next builder.
Where Builds is happening
Two cities. More on the way.

Bengaluru Builds
Building its founding crew right now. If you are in Bengaluru and you want to help start something, this is the moment to step in.
The map is growing
Your city could be next.
Builds is made to spread. The model is simple enough that any city with builders and a room can run it. These are cities we want to reach next. If yours is not on the list, treat that as an invitation, not a no.

The Builder's Oath
Every builder takes it.
- I am here to build, not to lurk.
- I will show my work, even when it is rough.
- I will ship over waiting for perfect.
- I will help the builder next to me.
- When I learn something, I bring it back to the room.
- I build in public. I build with my city.
