We came for a Friday.
We stayed for the meet.
A small team across four cities, hosting in fourteen. We believe rooms beat feeds, and curation beats algorithms.
The internet gave us reach.
We’re trying to give it back its warmth.
Let’s Socialise started as one dinner, in one city, with twelve strangers Ravinder wanted to introduce to each other. The format hasn’t changed much since — a host who knows your name, a venue that gets out of the way, and a table that’s been balanced for the people on it.
Our team is twelve people across four cities. Hosts, curators, the person who reads every application, and the engineer who built the app that runs in your pocket. We’re hiring quietly. Write if it’s interesting.
Seven years. Two hundred and forty dinners.
A small team, a slow build, and a thesis we’ve stuck to since the first table.
The first dinner
Twelve strangers, one long table at Aamantran, Calcutta. The format hasn’t changed since.
Across India
Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad start running monthly meets with member-hosts.
The first Fest
120 guests on a Goa beach, structured for tables of 6, mixed every hour. We’ve run two Fests a year since.
SELECT launches
A small membership for guests we kept asking back. Capped at 80 nationally, never marketed.
14 cities, 4 countries
Dubai, London, Singapore, Bangkok join the rotation. 12,400 members reviewed. Still one application at a time.

“I was in meets full of brilliant people who’d never spoken to each other. Most of social media is loud. The world needed something quieter — and a lot warmer.”

Worth a Friday.
The shortest path to a table is a three-minute application. We’ll take it from there.
