What we’re about

🎉 Hey Desi Squaaad! 🌶️✨

Welcome to "Bay Area Desi Friends" – where the samosas are crispy, the chai is piping hot, and the laughter is absolutely non-stop! 🕺🏽💃🏽

We're not just a meetup group; we're your Desi BFFs who know how to spice up life with a bit of chaat masala and a whole lot of swag! Whether you're a Bollywood buff, a samosa connoisseur, or just someone who loves a good ol' chai session, you're about to join the coolest Desi crew in town. From street food adventures to karaoke battles where everyone becomes a singing sensation – we want to do it all! We're all about making memories that even Instagram can't handle! If you have a knack for music, movies, games, swImming, biking, hiking, cooking, dancing, poetry, stand-ups, go on impromptu gedis! You name it, we do it!

Whatsapp Link: Due to hell lotta spamming, we had to remove the link. Sorry for the inconvenience. Kindly reach out to the organizers to be added to the WhatsApp group to stay updated on daily impromptu fun events. All events posted on the meetup app are only the presumably more planned at-scale events.

About the organizers: We are a KRAZZYYY bunch. The organizers are desi working professionals who love to meet people and provide others a platform to do the same. If not us then who!! We love to party "KYUNKI KAL HO NA HOO", discover new hobbies, places and create dher sari memories. Efforts are sexy, time is limited, we are busy ambitious crazy people who are not professional event planners. With only couple hands on deck and 1000+ members to manage, please cut us some slack, provide healthy feedback (we will work on it), support us and nurture the community as we are all one.

Diverse Desi Crew: Whether you're all about dosa drama or living the paratha party life, this is your Desi haven! Our squad is as mixed and spicy as the chaat and chai selection at your beloved hangout. No borders here—North, South, East, West—we're open to all the vibes. Unleash your culture, school us in your lingo, pitch in your movie picks for our watchlist, and spill the beans on your favorite eateries we should conquer together! 🌶️🍛✨

Desi Karaoke: Belt out your favorite Bollywood tunes or try nailing those Punjabi beats – we're all friends here, and off-key is the new perfect.

What we don't serve (MINUS): Stereotypes, age based disparities ("Age is like the calorie number we happily love to ignore when we see samosas!"), societal norms (we love to break em-all HAIYYAAAA! :P), gender and religion based differences. We are all inclusive.

Sign off: We usually love to sign off our events over a chai at APNI MANDI because solving the world's problems always starts with a cup of chai. ☕
