Starting in Thiruvananthapuram
Find your people in Trivandrum.
കൂട്ട് (koottu) means company: the friends you do things with. Koottu helps you meet verified people within 2–5 km of home through small group plans. Shuttle after work, chaaya at 4:30, turf on Sunday, a shared ride to Technopark.
Verified people only
Groups, never one-on-one
Not a dating app
How it works
Say "I'm in". Show up. Make friends.
No awkward small talk with strangers online. You pick something to do, and the people come with it.
1
Swipe on things to do
Right for "I'm in", left to skip. Everything is within 2 km or 5 km of home, your choice.
2
It happens when the group fills
Every event has a minimum. Once enough people are in, it becomes a plan and you get a group chat.
3
Show up and find your koottu
Play, chat, carpool home. Keep meeting the people you clicked with in a weekly group.
One app, four ways in
Play, host, ride and keep it going.
Host or join events
Got an idea? Post it. It only goes ahead once enough people say "I'm in", so you're never the only one who turns up.
- Chaaya meetups
- Board games
- Book club
- Ponmudi trips
- Match screenings
Carpool with neighbours
Share your daily drive to Technopark, or a cab to the airport, station or KSRTC stand. Verified riders, fuel split fairly.
- Office rides
- Airport and station pools
- Women-only rides
Join a weekly group
A Saturday run, a Wednesday shuttle, a Sunday cleanup. Same people, same time, and a streak that keeps you coming back.
- Run clubs
- Cycling
- Yoga
- Cleanups
