Yaranaa began with a simple observation: making friends as an adult is harder than it should be. People move for work, build a life and a routine, and still find themselves looking for people to share it with.
Kaushal started bringing strangers together through small meetups. Over time, the pattern became clear. The best gatherings were not the biggest ones. They were the ones where the people in the room had a reason to talk, someone had thought about who should be there, and walking in alone did not feel strange.
Yaranaa is our attempt to build more of those rooms. Intimate gatherings, real people, and experiences designed around actually meeting one another. The technology is there to make that possible; the point has always been the people.
Management and Community
Financial Advisor
Yaranaa started with Kaushal's idea: bring interesting people together and make it easier to build real connections. He finds the venues, reads every request, brings the guest list together person by person, and hosts on the day. He has a knack for making strangers feel like they already belong in the room.
Product and Engineering
Software Developer
Archis turns the idea into the product behind it. He builds Yaranaa's website, APIs, database, payments, emails, and the tools that keep everything running, alongside his engineering job. From joining an event to receiving it in your inbox, he builds the systems that make the experience work.
Things we will not trade away for growth.
We care about who is in a room, not how many people are in it. A smaller gathering with the right mix of people is better than a packed room where nobody talks.
We are not interested in putting strangers in a room and calling it a community. The places, activities, group size and people are chosen with the hope that conversations happen naturally.
Yaranaa is built around meeting people in the real world. No endless profiles, matching games or feeds to scroll through. You find a gathering, decide to show up, and see what happens.
Meet some people you don't know. Do something together. See where the evening goes.
