Meet new people in Kochi
Kochi, the Queen of the Arabian Sea, has been a city of newcomers for centuries: traders who came by sea, and today people who come for Kakkanad, the port, the hospitals and the colleges. Kaanam puts you at a table with a few of them, in a busy public place, 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.
People in Kochi who want to meet people
New to Kochi
Moved for a job, a posting or studies? A dinner or a chaya is the quickest way to meet people who live where you do.
Long-time Kochiite
Want a new circle beyond the old one? Small groups of people close to your age, with a first seat free.
Working in the IT parks
Kakkanad and nearby are full of people on their own schedules. Mornings and evenings activities fit around work.
Pick your neighbourhood
From the Marine Drive walkway to the lanes of Fort Kochi, Kochi has plenty of public places that suit a first meeting. Pick the area that is easiest for you to reach, and we do the grouping. 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 Mattancherry, Kaloor, Kalamassery, and more.
Five ways to meet in Kochi
Dinner Tables
Dinner with 3 to 5 new people at a busy restaurant, grouped by age, vibe and language.

Event company
Matches, concerts, movies, backwater and sunset cruises on the Arabian Sea and day trips, with a small group to go with.
Activity buddies
Walks, fitness, sports and treks: say mornings or evenings, and when 3 of you match you choose the day together.
Safe by design
18+ only. Every member is ID-verified, groups are small, and every place is public and busy.
