When we examined the companionship landscape in India, we saw two things: profound, genuine loneliness, and an industry built on deception to exploit it. We built Companio to be the exact opposite.
Why Companio exists
Companio is an Indian platform for meeting ID-checked, human-reviewed local companions for platonic activities in public places, like coffee, city walks, gyms and gigs. A pass unlocks profiles and chat in every city; each meetup is paid separately.
Every site promised “10,000+ real profiles”, but asked you to scan a QR code before you could see a single real face. People were being scammed daily by fake profiles, hidden fees, and platforms that looked the other way when safety lines were crossed.
We built a place where a person on our team reviews every companion application, with a government ID, before a profile goes live: so you don’t have to wonder whether the person you’re talking to is real.
Loneliness is not a niche problem. People move cities for work, arrive knowing nobody, and slowly stop doing the things they love because doing them alone feels worse than not doing them at all.
The one unbreakable rule
Companio is for strictly platonic companionship. Nothing else.
By enforcing it, we protect our companions from harassment and our members from bait-and-switch scams. It lets us offer something far more valuable: genuine, safe human connection, whether you need a gym buddy, someone to show you around a new city, or just a quiet café conversation.
How we make money
The pass opens every companion profile in every city. The four tiers (1 month, 3 months, 12 months, and lifetime) differ only in how long they last; the access is identical. Current prices and offers are shown before you pay.
It is a pass, not a subscription. Nothing renews, nothing is auto-debited: a pass simply runs out, and you decide whether to buy another. Meetups are paid for separately, when you book one.
We do not sell your data, and we never will. On each meetup you book, Companio keeps a 20% commission, 18% goes to GST, and the companion takes home the remaining 62%.
Thank you for trusting us, and for being part of a community built on respect and transparency.
