The Rotary Club of Bombay is one of the pioneers in India of the rotary
movement, devoted to the ideal of Fellowship through service. It was
founded on March 19, 1929. The Club meets every Tuesday at 1.15 p.m. at
the Taj Mahal Hotel, the very place where the founders had their first
get-together. The first president of the club was Rtn. Charles N.
Moberley. Sir Phiroze Sethna, one of India’s most illustrious sons, was
the only Indian among the other European founder members and the first
Board consisted of only eight members. Most clubs in Dist 3140 can trace
their roots to the Rotary Club of Bombay.

Reading the list of subsequent presidents is like scanning the ‘Who’s
who’ of Bombay of the time, bearing names of personalities who even to
this day have left their mark on the multifaceted life of this great
Metropolis. Amongst the first few presidents of the Club we have had
names like Sir Shapoorjee Billimoria, Sir Sultan Chinoy, Sir Jamshedji
Duggan, Sir Vithal Chandavarkar, Sir Francis Low, Sir Behram Karanjia
and many others.

The membership of the Club has grown from 38 in 1929 to around 350
today. The unique single classification concept of Rotary allows the
Rotary Club of Bombay a membership compromising a high performance
cross-section of Bombay’s successful business and professional men and
women, all accomplishers in their own field ranging from doctors to
architects, legal luminaries to bankers, entrepreneurs to
educationalists and merchandisers to communicators. The Club offers a
stimulating fellowship based on a fascinating diversity of interests in
business, arts, sciences and the professional expertise of its members.
This Club has inspired the incorporation of 26 Interact clubs, with
about 750 school children as members, and 6 Rotaract clubs with a
membership of about 200 college students. There is also a very active
Inner Wheel Club.

From the very beginning the pulse of Rotary has been and always will be
Community Service. Today the Rotary Club of Bombay has diversified its
activities through the work of over fifty committees constituted to look
after the various avenues of service. Of these, over 20 contribute to
community service. The Club has been able to attempt a number of service
programmes only because of generous donations of time and money by the
members.
