No swipes. No algorithms. Just safe structured events where you can show up, be yourself, and make friends IRL.
Stranger Mingle is built to help people make real connections locally, not online. We create safe spaces where strangers meet and friendships begin through organized weekend events across Indian cities.
Whether you're new in town, an introvert, or simply don't know how to make new friends as an adult – we're here to help. Our mission goes beyond just making friends. We aim to improve your quality of life through meaningful events, a disciplined approach, and a safe environment.
Consistent events across major Indian cities so you always have a place to go.
We organize chai circles, treks, board game nights, heritage walks, and more. These aren't networking sessions – they are spaces for genuine friends.
Small, curated groups designed for meaningful conversation, not crowded chaos.
We structure the first 30 minutes so no one feels left out. We design every event for meaningful conversation.
Genuine friendships formed through shared activities and open conversations.
Friendships shouldn't be about luck. They should be about showing up and being yourself.
Stranger Mingle is dedicated to Indian communities. As Indians, we often carry unnecessary baggage – class, caste, skin color, college pedigree. These create invisible walls.
We dismantle these walls. We judge people by how they treat others, their values, and their character – not by their last name or bank balance.
Our highest priority is creating a safe, respectful environment.
Absolute zero tolerance for harassment, especially against women. Offenders are banned permanently without warning.
Every member receives equal respect and opportunities. We actively ensure our spaces are safe and welcoming for women.
Basic verification is required for all attendees. This accountability helps maintain high quality and safety at events.
Whether you're an introvert or new in town, our event structures ensure no one feels left out.
Check our events page to see what's happening in your city. We organize everything from casual chai meetups to full-day adventure trips. First-timers usually start with something relaxed like a Sunday morning coffee gathering.
Book your spot for the event that interests you. Complete basic verification to ensure community safety and quality.
Come to the event – most people come alone, so you're in good company. We handle introductions and ice-breakers, making it easy to start conversations naturally.
Exchange contact details, stay in touch via WhatsApp, text, or email, and attend more events. Friendships take time, but they start with showing up once.
Chai circles & board games for casual conversations.
Treks & cycling trails to bond over shared experiences.
Heritage walks & art visits to explore your city.
Give back to the community while making friends.
Members are free to interact directly with each other outside of organized events. You can exchange contact details, meet for coffee, or develop any kind of relationship – platonic or otherwise. These interactions are your personal choice and responsibility.
Stranger Mingle facilitates initial connections in safe, structured environments during organized events. However, we do not take responsibility for interactions, relationships, or any incidents that occur outside our official group activities or event premises.
What happens in your personal life and private interactions is between you and the other individuals involved. We encourage everyone to exercise good judgment and respect in all interactions.
Stranger Mingle started in Pune, but we're building communities across India – Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, and beyond. Anywhere people feel lonely despite being surrounded by millions.
We encourage individuals who want to take initiative and bring Stranger Mingle to their own cities. If you're passionate about building safe communities and want to organize events in your city, you can do so under our strict rules and regulations. This ensures consistent quality and safety standards across all locations.
Our vision is simple: create communities in Indian cities where making friends after college isn't a struggle. Where showing up to an event alone isn't intimidating.
People new to the city. Introverts looking for a safe start. Professionals tired of the grind. Everyone who believes that life is better with friends. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from – if you're kind and open to connection, you belong here.
Stranger Mingle is built to be sustainable and high-quality. While we love the idea of free communities, we also understand that quality comes at a cost.
Event venues need to be booked. Safety measures require resources. Organizers need support. Quality control takes effort and investment. We charge reasonable fees purely to maintain the platform, ensure events run smoothly, and deliver the experience our members deserve.
"This is not about profit. This is about creating something valuable that lasts, something you can rely on weekend after weekend."
