Who Helps Us Build Real Community

Stranger Mingle is independent, community-focused, and non-commercial. The partners on this page support our mission — not the other way around. Every relationship here exists because it makes our events better for members, not because money changed hands for promotional access.

Our members come to events to make friends — not to be sold to. This page exists so you know exactly who we work with and why.

What "Partner" Means at Stranger Mingle

We use the word carefully. A Stranger Mingle partner is an organisation that supports the delivery of better, safer, more meaningful events — by providing spaces, activities, or community-level collaboration.

A partner is not an advertiser. Partners do not get speaking slots at events. They do not receive member data. They do not hand out flyers or pitch their services to attendees. Stranger Mingle events are built around human connection — commercial interests have no place inside them.

If you've attended a Stranger Mingle event and felt like you were being marketed to, that is a violation of our guidelines — please report it to strangermingleteam@gmail.com.

Types of Partners We Work With

We keep it to three categories — each one directly tied to delivering better events, not broader commercial reach.

🏛️

Venue Partners

Cafés, co-working spaces, parks, and cultural venues that open their doors to host Stranger Mingle events. They provide the physical space that makes real connections possible.

🎲

Experience Partners

Board game libraries, heritage walk curators, trek organisers, and activity providers whose offerings power our structured event formats.

🌱

Community Supporters

Organisations aligned with mental wellness, social inclusion, and urban belonging — whose values mirror our mission of genuine human connection.

Our Partnership Principles

These are non-negotiable. Any arrangement that conflicts with these principles will not happen — regardless of the financial benefit to us.

🚫

No Promotions at Events

Partners do not get access to our members for selling, pitching, or advertising. Our events are not marketing channels. No flyers, no pitches, no product placement — ever.

🤝

Mission Alignment First

We partner only with organisations whose purpose supports safe social spaces, community building, or meaningful experiences. Commercial fit alone is not enough.

🛡️

Member Safety Always

Venue and experience partners are evaluated for their own safety standards. Any partner that compromises member safety or comfort is removed immediately.

🔍

Transparent & Disclosed

All partnerships are disclosed on this page. Members always know who we work with. We do not accept undisclosed sponsorships or hidden commercial arrangements.

No MLM or Schemes

We do not partner with direct-sales companies, MLM networks, business opportunity schemes, or any entity that would use our platform to recruit or solicit members.

🏙️

Local & Contextual

We prioritise partners rooted in the same cities we operate in. Hyper-local partners understand the communities we serve and build more genuine relationships.

Current Partners

This page is updated as partnerships are formalised. All listed partners have been reviewed against our principles and agreed to our code of conduct for partner organisations.

🤝

Partnerships Being Finalised

We are in the process of formalising our first round of venue and experience partnerships across Pune, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. Partners will be listed here once agreements are confirmed and reviewed for alignment with our principles.

Partners are listed here only after formal agreements are in place. We do not list organisations with whom we have informal or undisclosed arrangements.

Partnership Questions

Answers to the most common questions from organisations interested in working with us.

Can our brand sponsor a Stranger Mingle event?

We evaluate partnership requests case by case. Sponsorships are only considered from organisations whose purpose genuinely supports community building, social safety, or meaningful experiences. Commercial sponsors who want access to our members for promotion are not a fit. If you believe your organisation aligns with our values, reach out and tell us why.

What do partners get in return?

Venue partners receive visibility on this page and acknowledgement in event descriptions. Experience partners collaborate on event formats that benefit both communities. There are no guaranteed leads, no member data, and no promotional access. Our partnership is a relationship of shared values — not a transactional ad placement.

We run a wellness / mental health brand. Can we partner?

Possibly. Organisations working in genuine mental wellness, social inclusion, or community well-being are among the types of partners we might work with — provided the collaboration doesn't involve promotions at events, solicitation of members, or any form of commercial exploitation of our community.

Does Stranger Mingle take money from sponsors?

We may accept support in the form of venue subsidies, experience credits, or operational support from aligned partners — not in exchange for member access or promotional privilege, but in support of running better events. All financial arrangements are disclosed.

Can I use a Stranger Mingle event to promote my business?

No. This is explicitly prohibited under our Terms of Service and Safety Guidelines. Our events are not networking events, business forums, or marketing opportunities. Members who use events to promote their business or services will be removed from the platform.

Interested in Partnering?

If your organisation supports safe social spaces, community experiences, or meaningful offline connections — and you understand that this is not a promotional opportunity — we'd like to hear from you.

Tell us who you are, what you do, and specifically how you believe a partnership would benefit Stranger Mingle members — not your organisation. We read every message.

Email: strangermingleteam@gmail.com · We respond within 48–72 hours.

Important: Stranger Mingle events are governed by our Terms of Service and Safety Guidelines, which explicitly prohibit the use of events for business networking, product promotion, MLM schemes, or commercial solicitation of any kind. These prohibitions apply equally to all members, hosts, and partner organisations. Violation results in immediate removal from the platform.
