Safety
Exactly what stands behind every profile — including what does not, yet.
Government ID, on every application
No one can list without uploading a government ID, an Aadhaar or a PAN, alongside their profile photo.
We check that the ID number is structurally valid, that the photo and the document are genuinely two different images, and that neither file has been submitted by anyone else before. This catches a forged or recycled application; it does not, on its own, prove that a person owns the identity they uploaded.
A person reviews every application
Nothing is approved automatically. A member of our team reads every application, looks at the photo and the document, and decides. A profile that is approved starts suspended and without a photo until the companion completes it.
We can suspend or ban any companion at any time, and a suspended profile disappears from search and cannot be messaged.
What we do not do yet, and will not pretend to
We do not currently run automated Aadhaar KYC against the UIDAI database, a biometric selfie match, or a third-party criminal background check. Companions consent to a background check when they apply, so that we can run one, and we will add these before Companio opens beyond its first city.
Until then the "Verified" badge is reserved for companions who have passed a full check. No companion carries it today, and we would rather show you an empty badge than a dishonest one.
Money protection
A pass, from ₹199, unlocks every profile in your city and includes your first meeting. You are never charged to meet. Nothing renews and nothing is auto-debited — a pass expires and you decide whether to buy another. A pass is non-refundable once active, but a payment that never activated one, or a duplicate charge, we refund without argument.
During every meetup
One-tap SOS sends your current location and your companion’s name to a trusted contact you have saved, over WhatsApp or SMS. It is a snapshot you send, not continuous tracking, and it needs location permission. First meetups happen in public places, and a report/block button is always one tap away.
The platonic promise
Companio is for company, never anything else. Zero tolerance for non-platonic conduct, enforced with immediate permanent bans for either side.
