Kaanam puts small groups of verified people together over dinner, chaya, events and activities, at busy public places. You pick when and where; we find the people.
On iPhone and Android soon. Use it in your browser today.
Every meetup is small, in a public place, and with people close to your age who speak your language.
Dinner with 3 to 5 new people at a restaurant we pick in your neighbourhood. The venue is revealed at noon on the day.
Chaya with one new person at a busy cafe, in the daytime. Never with the same person twice.
Concerts, matches, movies, festivals and cruises with a small group instead of alone.
Walks, runs, cycling, sports and treks with people at your pace.
Booking is free. You only pay once you're matched with a group.
Sign in with your email, then a photo of your ID and a live selfie. Our team checks every member.
Pick a night and a neighbourhood, an event or an activity. Tell us your budget and who you'd like to meet.
We make groups when booking closes, by age, vibe and language. Pay the seat fee and your group chat opens.
Find your group with a shared code, tap "I'm here", and enjoy. Rate the evening after.
Meeting strangers should feel easy. That's why safety is built into every step.
