How it works

Meet safe

Exchange items or services only in public, daylight-friendly spots with safety reminders shown before contact details are shared.

Choose neutral spots like Churchgate Station, Dadar Station, or popular beach promenades—places where foot traffic is steady and surveillance may be present. The platform prompts you to confirm your meeting time, location, and plan before listing contact info—never before. This mirrors how local kirana stores sometimes hold items briefly for trusted neighbors while they pop across the street.

Safety tips appear in sequence: first a reminder to tell a friend where you’re going, then a nudge to avoid carrying large sums in cash, then a tip about keeping phones accessible but out of sight during the meeting. Many users pick spots near police booths, hospitals, or 24-hour convenience stores—even if just for visibility. Mumbai’s heat and monsoon rains also mean picking covered exits or open-air food stalls with space for privacy.

After meeting, both sides can leave anonymous star ratings and short notes—‘met at Marine Gate, smooth handover’, or ‘asked for ID, felt safe’. These notes help others choose their own preferred spots based on real experience. The goal isn’t perfection but predictability: knowing what to expect, who to watch for, and where to go if things shift unexpectedly.
