Our story.
Verra is a private members' club on the banks of the river in Mumbai. Founded in 1978 by a handful of families who wanted a quieter place to row, dine and gather, it has grown into one of the city's most enduring institutions — while keeping the unhurried spirit it began with.
For over forty years, a private retreat on the river — for sport, for a good dinner, and for the company of members who feel like family.
