Formed in 1962, the organisation has grown steadily with various chapters across India. In Visakhapatnam, Round Table India comprises of around 100 members spread across five chapters or ‘Tables’ which include businessmen, entrepreneurs, technocrats and professionals.”

The members regularly conduct service-based activities every month from their respective chapters, including donating necessary groceries and domestic items to old age homes and orphanages, and various other community service activities.
