How Chal Buddy works
Simple for customers, fair for companions, and safe for both.
For customers
Sign up and verify
Sign up with your mobile number. Before your first in-person meetup, verify your ID with a quick selfie.
Find a buddy
Filter verified companions by activity, language, price and rating, and read real reviews.
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.
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.
Rate and review
Check out together, then rate your experience. Your feedback keeps the community safe.
For companions
Apply
Tell us about yourself, the activities you enjoy and the languages you speak.
Get verified
Verify your ID through DigiLocker, take a live selfie, and add your PAN and a bank account in your own name.
Train
Complete a short safety training and quiz, and sign the companion agreement. Some companions also have a short video interview.
Set your price and hours
Choose your hourly price, your availability and the public places you are happy to meet at.
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.
