Real humans only
Profile-verified: we manually check your Instagram or LinkedIn. We look for a profile that seems real and matches the name, age range and gender you gave us. New, empty or mismatched profiles don't get in.
Early pilot · Gurugram · Free
Make friends in Gurugram. Skip the creepy DMs.
Small matched groups of 4–6. One plan, one public place. No swiping, no browsing, no "hi dear" at 2 am. Just people near you who actually want to show up.
Profile-verified
Women-majority or women-only
Free · pay your own bill
Takes about 2 minutes. Faster than finding parking at Cyber Hub.
How it works
Five steps. Zero swiping.
- 1
Tell us your vibe
A short form about your area, free time and interests. Nobody browses profiles, and no photos are shared.
- 2
Prove you're not a bot
Share your Instagram or LinkedIn link and we check it by hand. No ID documents. We just look, we don't post.
- 3
We play matchmaker (for friends)
4–6 people near you, matched on area, free time and interests. Women-majority, or women-only if you prefer.
- 4
Reply YES like a responsible adult
Confirm 48 hours before. First names and the venue land 24 hours before.
- 5
Show up. Order chai. See what happens.
A café, a board-game café or a morning park walk. Everyone pays their own bill, so no Splitwise drama.
Safety by design
Fun is the plan. Safe is the rule.
Never the only woman at the table
Women-majority or women-only. Women can always choose women-only groups. Mixed groups are women-majority, and no group ever has just one woman.
Cafés, not "come over"
Public places only. Cafés, board-game cafés and park walks with people around. Never homes, cars or private flats.
Zero "hey". Zero scrolling.
No browsing, no DMs. No one can scroll through profiles, and there are no private messages before you meet. Contact afterwards only if you both opt in.
Two strikes, you're out
Clear consequences. Two no-shows, or two upheld safety flags, means removal. A serious flag means removal right away.
What it isn't (mostly)
Not a swipe app
Not networking
Not a 300-person WhatsApp group
And it's not a dating app either. But we're not the boss of your heart. Come for friends, and if a spark happens, that's between you two. Contact is shared only if you both say yes.
Where
Four starting spots. Minimal traffic trauma.
Small and local on purpose, so nobody spends more time in traffic than at the table. Pick the one closest to you.
Golf Course Road
Sector 42–43 to Sector 55–56. Weekend daytime plans, for when you finally get a weekend.
Cyber City
DLF Phase 1–3. After-work meetups, because Cyber Hub isn't only for team dinners.
Sohna Road
Around Vatika Business Park, Sector 49. Coffee after work, before Sohna Road traffic decides your evening for you.
Golf Course Extension Road
Around 65th Avenue, Sector 65. Weekend brunch energy, minus the 20-person office table.
The honest note
The honest bit (no fake hype)
- Room for about 20 people, aged 20–30.
- It's free. Everyone pays their own bill at the venue (yes, even for the extra fries).
- Verification is a manual look at your Instagram or LinkedIn by a real person. It filters out fakes, but no check is perfect, so trust your gut and flag anything off.
- No app, no track record, no fake reviews. We'll share what we learn, wins and fails.
FAQ
Things you're probably wondering
Is this a dating app?
Nope. It's friendship-first, and groups are matched for friendship. If you're only here to date or network, this isn't for you. If you want friends and you're open to more, that's totally fine.
What if I end up liking someone?
Happens to the best of us. After the meetup, you can each privately pick who you'd like to see again. Contact is shared only if you both say yes. No sliding into DMs, no pressure, and nobody finds out who didn't pick them.
Why do you need my LinkedIn or Instagram?
So we can manually check that your profile looks real and matches the name, age range and gender you gave us. We only view the link. It's never shown to other members or shared publicly, and we don't ask for ID documents. It's a careful check, not a guarantee, which is why the other rules (public places, no DMs, private flags) still apply.
My Instagram is private. Is that okay?
Totally fine. We may send a follow request from our account just to check your profile. Or share your LinkedIn instead.
What does it cost?
The pilot is free. You pay for your own food or drinks at the venue. Your cold coffee, your call.
What if I can't make it?
Tell us early and there's no penalty. Life happens, and so does the Gurugram traffic. A no-show without notice is a strike, and two strikes means you're out, so the group can count on each other.
What if I feel uncomfortable?
Leave whenever you like, no questions asked. Flag it privately afterwards and we review every flag within 24 hours. In an emergency, call 112.
Who runs this?
Angan Labs, a small independent studio. This is our first pilot, so be kind, and be brutally honest with feedback.
