BUILD CLUB BV

A student-led initiative towards product development

Introduction

Build Club BV is a student-led, hands-on learning community designed to help college students learn product development by actually building real products. The club focuses on bridging the gap between theoretical education and industry-ready practical skills by fostering innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking.

The club provides a structured yet flexible platform where students from diverse disciplines—technology, design, business, and data—come together to ideate, design, prototype, test, and launch digital or physical products. Through workshops, mentorship sessions, hackathons, and collaborative projects, members gain exposure to the end-to-end product lifecycle, including user research, problem identification, prototyping, development, testing, and go-to-market strategies.

The Club also nurtures essential skills such as design thinking, teamwork, leadership, project management, and problem-solving, preparing students for careers in startups, product management, entrepreneurship, and technology roles. Industry experts, founders, and mentors can be invited to guide students, provide real-world insights, and create networking opportunities.

Overall, the Build Club acts as a mini innovation lab within the Banasthali ecosystem, empowering students to transition from idea creators to product builders while fostering a culture of experimentation, innovation, and continuous learning.
