Nine nights, one circle

Vadodara Social: things to do and people to meet in Vadodara (Baroda)
Diwali is better with company.
Mandvi lit up after dark, rangoli in the pol, card nights and Saal Mubarak visits. Find people to do the festival with, or post a plan and let them find you.
- Free
- Made in Vadodara
THE APP
Plans move fast. The app keeps up.
- Know the moment it happens. Someone asks to join, the host says yes, the group chat moves on: your phone tells you then, not whenever you next open a browser.
- A nudge before you go. Reminders the day before and two hours before, so the plan actually happens.
- One account, both places. Start on the website and carry on in the app. Your plans, chats and people come with you.
KALA NAGRI
A city that earned its title, and keeps earning it
Gujarat's cultural capital does not do things by halves. The point of this app is simple: none of it is as good on your own.
The art that named it
Kala Nagri is not a slogan. The Faculty of Fine Arts made Vadodara a home of modern Indian art, and the studios and galleries never stopped.
Stages, strings, stand-up
Theatre evenings, classical recitals, open mics and quiz nights. The cultural capital of Gujarat keeps a full calendar.
Mornings in Sayaji Baug
Walkers, joggers, the toy train, the banyan shade. Kamatibaug is where the city wakes up together, every single day.
Palace-sized backdrops
Laxmi Vilas, Kirti Mandir, Mandvi at night. Your ordinary Tuesday plan gets a setting other cities would sell tickets for.
Sev usal weather
Evening plans here come with lilo chevdo, sev usal and a long argument about which place does it best.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, then you are out of the house
1
Post what you feel like doing
Badminton on Tuesday at 7, coffee in Alkapuri, a cycle out past Gotri. Say the activity, the area, the time, and how many people you need.
2
People ask to join
You see who is asking and choose who comes. The exact venue is shared only with the people you accept — never with the whole city.
3
Go and meet them
A group chat opens for everyone going, with reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before. Afterwards, one tap says whether it actually happened.
YOUR CIRCLES
Open to the city, or kept to your people
My Tribe
Invite the people you already know with a link. Share a plan with just them, and the rest of Vadodara never sees it.
Teams
The Sunday football lot, the badminton four, the book club. Make a Team once and send every week's plan to it.
Weekly plans
Same game, same time, every week. Set it once; anyone who joins is in for the dates still to come, and can sit one out.
ACROSS THE CITY
From Akota to Waghodia Road
Plans are posted by area, all over Vadodara (Baroda), so what you see is near enough to actually go to.

SAFETY
Meeting strangers, handled carefully
- The venue waits. Where exactly you are meeting is shared only with the people the host has accepted.
- No phone numbers on show. Talk in the app's own chat for as long as you like.
- Block and report. Anyone, any time, and a real person reviews what comes in.
- Free, with no cut. If a plan costs something — a court booking, an entry fee — you settle it between yourselves.
Somebody is already planning a Diwali evening.
They just need one more person.
