Chai and a walk before the traffic
Ira · 4 spots leftOPEN
Chai at six, badminton on Saturday, dinners, treks, or night outs. Skip the two-week group chat debate and meet verified people nearby — from Gurgaon and Bengaluru to Pune, Kolkata and Hyderabad.
Most of us moved to a new city for work. The colleagues are fine, the group chats are busy, and somehow Friday still ends with takeaway and a screen. Not because nobody wants to go out — because turning "we should hang out" into an actual time and place takes five messages and a week of nobody deciding.
Socco shortens that to three taps. Someone has already picked the place, the time is already on the calendar, and all you have to do is show up.
A real time, a nearby spot, and verified people ready to hang out. No endless swiping.
Every plan on Socco is one of these eight. No pages of settings, no feed to scroll for an hour — you pick a thing, pick a time, and see who’s in.
Coffee
CoffeeHalf an hour, no commitment. The easiest first plan there
is.
Lunch & dinner
Lunch & dinnerThe lunch break nobody wants to eat at their desk, and Friday
dinner.
Nightlife
NightlifeOne round after work. Everyone here has somewhere to be at nine
tomorrow.
Sports
SportsBadminton, football, the court you booked and still need four people
for.
Outdoors
OutdoorsSunrise treks, park runs, the 5k where nobody minds your
pace.
Trips
TripsThe long weekend you keep talking about. Members book their own
travel.
Carpool
CarpoolTwo seats going your way. Fuel split between you — never a
fare.
Hangout
HangoutBoard games, someone's terrace, a film. The default for a slow
Sunday.
Times are illustrative. The point is how little of your evening this takes.
Verify via your workplace domain, Delhi University / college email, or LinkedIn. No throwaway accounts, no bots, and no strangers off the internet. We check it once, scramble it beyond recovery, and delete the address — and your organization or college is never shown to anyone.
Plans near your office or your home, sorted by what's soonest and closest. Coffee, lunch, dinner, nightlife, sports, treks, weekend trips, carpools — and the ones starting in the next hour, so you can still join on the way out.
The host approves you, and only then do you get the exact meeting point. Everyone who's in shares a group chat for the details — where to meet, who's running late, how to split the bill.
No feed to scroll, no profiles to browse, no streaks to maintain. Socco's only job is to get you to the table. Once you're there it has nothing left to do, and that's deliberate.
Zero marketing renders. Every screen below is captured directly from the live Socco production build — authentic, unedited, and designed for real-world plans wherever you are in India.
Every open social app eventually fills with bots and fake profiles. Socco keeps every hangout authentic through verified channels: your company email, Delhi University & college campus domains, LinkedIn, or member invite codes.
Try , , , or .
Not settings buried in a menu — this is how the product works by default.
Access requires verified workplace email, accredited campus domain, or LinkedIn. Real people, authentic hangouts.
Browsing shows a 2 km neighbourhood, never a pin on the door. The exact address and table arrive only once the host accepts you.
Only verified women can host a women-only plan, and you see who's going before you join.
Report or block from any profile, plan or chat. Socco is not an emergency service — in an emergency, call 112.
Nobody joins a plan by just tapping a button. The host sees who's asking, and decides.
Socco records whether people actually showed. Repeat no-shows quietly lose access to popular plans.
Most of these exist because group plans fail in the same few predictable ways.
Every hangout gets a private group chat for confirmed attendees to coordinate arrival, location drops, and photos. 5 days after the plan wraps up, the room permanently locks and archives—no awkward zombie group chats cluttering your phone.
Host or join double-dates, dinners, and weekend trips with your partner. One-tap pairing links ensure both partners are verified members.
No pay-to-win boosts, no sponsored brand placements, and no algorithm chasing engagement loops. Your feed is organized strictly by what is happening soonest and closest to you, in whichever city you opened it in.
When someone cancels or drops out, waitlisted members are promoted instantly in order. No empty tables, no wasted seats.
Requests arrive in one clean inbox, showing each person's verified badge and Karma rating. Accept, decline, or open more seats with a single tap.
Post your route, seats and share of fuel. Cost-sharing only — never a fare.
Every plan has a private invite link, so you can organise people you already know.
Profiles show 20s, 30s, 40s — never your date of birth, never your employer.
Requests, approvals, waitlist moves and messages for your own plans. Socco never pushes you a stranger's plan because you happened to be nearby.
Socco works in 96 cities across India — but an app like this is worthless if it's empty, and density is local. So we seed one cluster at a time, and we'd rather be genuinely busy in four square kilometres than thin across a country.
I moved to Gurgaon for work, like most people here. Within a year I had a decent job, a decent flat, and almost nobody to call on a Friday. Not because the city is unfriendly — because everyone is busy, and nobody wants to be the one who suggests something and gets left on read.
So I'm building the thing I wanted: somewhere the plan already exists, the people are already vouched for, and all you have to do is turn up. Socco isn't trying to be your social network. It's trying to get you out of the house by eight.
No. Your verification address is used once to confirm you are a real person, then it is hashed and the address is permanently deleted. Your company or college name is never displayed to anyone — your profile shows broad tags like "Tech · Gurgaon" or "Student · DU", never where you work or study. Socco has no connection to your employer or university and reports nothing to anyone.
Every member on Socco verifies through one of three trusted paths:
1. Workplace Email: Instant verification with your corporate domain (e.g.
you@company.com).
2. University Campus Email: Instant student access for Delhi University (e.g.
you@du.ac.in) and accredited colleges.
3. Personal Gmail / Apple ID: Verified via LinkedIn profile sync or a 5-friend referral
invite code.
This ensures zero bots, zero fake profiles, and zero creepy strangers — while keeping access smooth for
everyone, in every city we cover.
Yes! Personal emails like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and iCloud are fully supported on Socco. When using a personal email, you verify your account by linking your verified LinkedIn profile or entering a member invite code. Student emails (@du.ac.in, .edu, .ac.in) receive instant verified student access.
Yes, absolutely! Since government, banking, and defence employers usually restrict using work accounts for third-party apps, simply sign up using your personal Gmail and complete verification via LinkedIn or an invite code.
Yes, for verified members. Some plans involve costs you pay directly — a restaurant bill, a court booking, fuel for a carpool — and the group chat has a bill-split tool so the maths is easy. Socco isn't part of those payments.
For plans marked as couples events, yes. You invite them through a one-time link, they verify with a phone number and a photo, and they attend alongside you rather than getting their own account. You vouch for them, so their behaviour reflects on you.
All of them — the app covers 96 cities across 23 states, and you can host or join in any of them today. What varies is how busy a city already is. We build density one cluster at a time rather than spending everywhere at once, and Delhi NCR is first: Cyber Hub and Cyber City, then Noida and South Delhi. If your city is quiet, hosting the first plan is the fastest way to change that — and an invite code gets your friends in beside you.
Report them in the app — every profile, plan and chat has the option. Reports are confidential; we never tell the other person who reported them. Serious reports can suspend an account the same day, and the reported person is blocked from contacting you immediately.
One email, on launch day, and nothing after. On Android there's nothing to wait for: Socco is live on Google Play.
