How Chal Buddy works

Simple for customers, fair for companions, and safe for both.

For customers

  1. Sign up and verify

    Sign up with your mobile number. Before your first in-person meetup, verify your ID with a quick selfie.

  2. Find a buddy

    Filter verified companions by activity, language, price and rating, and read real reviews.

  3. Book and pay

    Pick an approved public place, a time and how long. You see the full price first and pay by UPI, card or net banking. Your money is held safely.

  4. Meet with the app

    On the day, you both check in with a code in the Chal Buddy app. SOS and safety check-ins stay one tap away.

  5. Rate and review

    Check out together, then rate your experience. Your feedback keeps the community safe.

For companions

  1. Apply

    Tell us about yourself, the activities you enjoy and the languages you speak.

  2. Get verified

    Verify your ID through DigiLocker, take a live selfie, and add your PAN and a bank account in your own name.

  3. Train

    Complete a short safety training and quiz, and sign the companion agreement. Some companions also have a short video interview.

  4. Set your price and hours

    Choose your hourly price, your availability and the public places you are happy to meet at.

  5. Get paid

    Your earnings reach your bank account 24 hours after each meetup when everything went well.

Online talk and gaming sessions

Prefer to stay home? Book a 30 or 60 minute voice or video session to chat, or team up for online gaming. Sessions run in the Chal Buddy app.
