Meet new people in Calicut
Calicut, or Kozhikode, is where Vasco da Gama landed in 1498: a spice port that has welcomed strangers for centuries, and still runs on biryani, halwa and long conversations. Kaanam adds a way to meet new people over it: small groups, busy public places, ID-verified adults, one seat at a time.
First seat free No seat fee on your first seat once you're verified: a dinner, chaya, event or activity.

New to Calicut
Here for work or college? A chaya or a dinner is a gentle way to start knowing people who live around you.
Long-time Calicutians
Everyone you know already knows each other. Meet people from other parts of the city and other circles.
Students and young professionals
Close to your age, close to your area, in daylight or an evening you choose.
Pick your neighbourhood
From the beach to the heart of the city, Calicut has public places made for sitting and talking. Pick the nearest area and we do the rest. Each area includes the places right around it, so you can choose the one that is easiest for you. Live in a nearby town or the suburbs? You are welcome too.
Most other neighbourhoods are merged into the closest area above, so you never have to work out which one to pick. For example PT Usha Road, West Hill, Eranhipalam, and more.
