One activity. One person. One great hour.
Low-pressure social experiences you can book in under a minute. Pick one and see how it feels.
An hour at a café you love. A flat white, a good chat, and zero pressure to be anything more.For one coffee buddy.
Explore a part of the city you haven't seen properly. With someone who knows where to stop.For a relaxed city walk.
That old Irani café. The bookshop everyone talks about. Finally go, with someone who's curious too.For a longer local hangout.
Trust isn't a feature. It's the whole point. Here's how we keep it that way.
No anonymous profiles. Ever. Every buddy passes government ID verification before they can meet anyone.
Cafés, libraries, parks, well-lit streets. Never anywhere else. The platform won't allow it.
A quiet check-in halfway through. Live location shared with someone you trust. So someone always knows you're okay.
No public scores. Just positive Vibe Badges you earn from real people. Bad behaviour — even small things — gets you off the platform.
Buddies don't get scored. They get seen. A peek at the badges real seekers award after a great hour.
Government ID + selfie match. No anonymous profiles, ever.
Cafés, parks, libraries. The platform blocks private locations.
Mid-meet safety ping. Location shared with your trusted contact.
Chat monitoring, behaviour scoring, and human review. Zero tolerance.
Simple on purpose. The product gets out of the way so the experience can happen.
Coffee, a walk, or a place you'd like to visit. Tell us the vibe, the day, the rough time.
Browse profiles with intro videos and Vibe Badges. Pick someone and propose a time. They accept on their terms.
Show up, check in halfway, leave when you want. No follow-up obligation — just the experience.
No subscriptions. No surprises. No conversion math.
1 Spark = ₹1. Always.Top up via UPI in small bundles. ₹1 buys 1 Spark. No math, no decimals.
Pick coffee, a walk, or a longer hangout. Sparks are held safely in escrow until the meet ends.
Once you both check in and review, your buddy receives the Sparks for their hour.
Buddies convert Sparks back to INR anytime. We take a small commission. That's it.
Buddies don't get scored. They get seen. Every badge is a moment someone chose to remember.
I moved to Bangalore three years ago. I had a great job, a nice apartment, and a list of cafés I wanted to try. I tried exactly two of them. Both rushed, neither memorable.
The city had everything — incredible food, hidden lanes, places worth spending an afternoon. What was missing was someone to share it with. Not a friend group. Not a date. Just a person who'd say yes to a coffee or a walk.
budZy is what I wish existed back then. A simple way to find a verified person for an experience you've been putting off. One hour, one public place, zero expectations.
We named it budZy because that's what it is. Not a service. Not a platform. Just a buddy.We're building this slowly, with care. If that sounds like something you'd try — join us.
Looking for a buddy or want to be one? Either way, you're early. We'll only email when we open your city.
