Spectra advises developers and promoters on members’ clubs and residential clubhouses through ILC India, its joint venture with International Leisure Consultants, Hong Kong. The work runs from concept and feasibility, through pre-opening, to operations.
Clubhouses for Embassy, Hiranandani, Kalpataru and Godrej, and members’ clubs including The Quorum and Bay Club.
A club planned as a business, by people who have opened and run them.
The kind of club, its members, and the amenity mix that suits the catchment.
Demand, fees benchmarked against established clubs, and projected returns.
Layouts and specifications reviewed while the clubhouse is designed and built.
The membership launch, recruitment, training and SOPs.
Spectra can run the club after it opens, or manage it as an asset on the owner’s behalf.
Three stages, one team throughout.
We study the catchment and its spending, define the club and test whether it pays.
Technical assistance through design and construction.
Pre-opening, the membership launch and, where wanted, ongoing operations.
Central India has residential clubhouses. It has no members’ club of this kind. Could one work in Raipur, and what would it need to be?
Catchment, spending behaviour, membership pricing benchmarked against established Indian clubs, and an amenity mix tested against willingness to pay.
We built the audience before the building. The pre-launch campaign doubled as live research: every post carried one question, and amenity preference, price sensitivity and positioning were read from the response. It was the first time Spectra used social media this way, to hear first-hand what people want from a club before it is built.
Master-plan developments, residential clubs, city clubs and corporate facilities, sports clubs, health and fitness clubs, family recreation, children’s facilities and marinas.

A club consultant plans a members’ club as a business: who will join, what they will pay, which amenities to build and how the club will run. Spectra and ILC cover concept, feasibility, technical assistance, pre-opening and operations.
ILC India is Spectra’s joint venture with International Leisure Consultants, Hong Kong, a club and leisure consultancy whose record includes work with Marriott, Hilton, Ritz-Carlton, The Peninsula, Banyan Tree and Fairmont.
Yes. Much of the work is for developers: clubhouses within residential and master-planned projects, for clients including Embassy, Hiranandani, Kalpataru and Godrej, as well as standalone members’ clubs such as The Quorum.
It can, if the demand is tested first. For a proposed club in Raipur, Spectra ran a six-week pre-launch campaign as live research. It drew more than 500 survey responses and 50 qualified leads.
Yes. Engagements at The Quorum in Gurgaon, Eka Club in Ahmedabad and Embassy Boulevard in Bangalore include operations.
Tell us the location, and whether the club stands alone or sits within a larger project.
