All-in, no extras.
Covers food, venues, the journal, and the channel. Members get the year — never charged month-to-month.

A small membership for guests we keep asking back. Closed quarterly dinners with founders, artists, and athletes — hosted across four cities — plus a private channel between chapters.
Membership runs annually. You’ll know the people on the table by the second dinner — and the wine list by the third.
Six-to-eight guests, set menus, hosted in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Goa. The same room, three months apart — by design.
Twice a year, the membership convenes off-site. One winter, one monsoon. Forty members, one venue we usually shouldn't have.
An occasional rotating host who shares the table. Not a panel — a dinner, where you'll ask better questions than any moderator could.
Apply once and you're in any city's Chapter. Skip the waitlist, skip the curation — your seat is held until 24h before.
An invite-only thread with the people you actually liked. Quiet by design. Used mostly to share dinners we should've gone to and ones we should host next.
Bring someone we should meet. They show up as your guest — no application, no review. Most guests turn into members within a year.
Flying through a city we host in? Tell us the dates — we'll pre-arrange a Chapter that lands on your evening, with people worth flying for.
A physical book — chapters, photographs, things people said worth printing. Posted to you the first week of January.
A small selection. The rule of SELECT is the same as the rule of dinner: who’s at the table changes the night.
"On building things people love when nobody's watching."
"The case for slow art, in a fast country."
"What sport teaches you about boredom."
"On writing a book you don't want to publish."
“SELECT isn’t a tier — it’s a table. The same eight chairs, four times a year, in four cities, with people you’d cross a city for.”— Ravinder Singh · Founder & chief host
The shortest path is to be the kind of guest a host writes about in the post-dinner note. Most invites go out within ten weeks of a first Chapter.
Three-minute application. Any city, any week. The first Chapter is your audition — but it's also just a great dinner.
One Chapter is a sample size of one. Two gives the host enough signal — and gives you a feel for whether the format is for you.
If it's a yes, we send an invite — never publicly, never via a form. You'll have a week to decide and a year ahead.
Your first quarterly is the one that decides everything. Show up. The rest takes care of itself.
SELECT begins with a Chapter. There’s no application form for membership — only for the dinner that decides it.
