New city.
Same gammat.
One curated afternoon a month at a lovely Pune café, for professionals who moved here for work and the family they brought along. A great host, a good menu, and a table of strangers who won't stay strangers for long.
New city, no circle.
You moved for a great job. The flat is sorted, the commute is (mostly) sorted, and the Swiggy guy knows your gate code. What nobody sorts for you is the people.
Colleagues have plans
They're lovely from Monday to Friday. Then Saturday comes and everyone vanishes into a life that was built long before you arrived.
Weekends shrink
Laundry, a long call home, a web series you're not even enjoying. Somehow it's Sunday night again and you haven't really spoken to anyone.
Everything else feels like a pitch
Meet-ups turn into networking, apps turn into dating, and big events are too loud to hear a single name. Making friends shouldn't need a strategy.
Pune is a wonderful city to live in. It's simply better with a few people to live it with.
One word, many homes.
fun · joy · good times
One word. Many homes. One feeling.
In Marathi, Kannada, Tulu and Konkani the word sounds a little different and means exactly the same thing. Our members are like that too. They come from different cities, backgrounds and generations, and at a Gammat table they share one feeling. The name is the promise.
Because "let's catch up sometime" never turns into a Saturday.
Gammat began with a simple observation: some of the most interesting people in Pune are sitting alone in their flats on a weekend afternoon, because they're new here.
Dear newcomer,
We've all been the person who moved to a new city for work. You know the routine: the first few months are exciting, then one Saturday you realise you haven't had a proper conversation since Thursday's stand-up.
We tried what everyone tries. The big events were too loud, the online groups went quiet after a week, and the apps all seemed to want something from us. What we actually wanted was simple: a good table, a few interesting people, a host who makes the first ten minutes easy, and a reason to come back next month.
And when our parents came to stay, we wanted the same for them. They had moved cities too, just to be closer to us, and they were lonelier than we were.
So we built Gammat. One afternoon a month, in a café worth dressing up for, with tables we put together with real care. We'd love for you to pull up a chair.
The Gammat team, Pune
What we're here to do.
Four promises we hold ourselves to, every month.
Friendship first
Not dating, not networking, not a pitch. We measure success by one thing: did you leave with someone you'd happily meet again?
Curated, not crowded
Every member is reviewed by a real person and seats are limited. We seat you at a table of four to six, chosen with care.
Every generation welcome
Bring your partner. Sign up your parents. Our tables mix ages on purpose, and our venues are chosen so everyone can get in and sit comfortably.
Easy to say yes to
One weekend afternoon a month, three hours, everything planned. You just turn up. The hardest part is choosing what to wear.
From "hmm" to "see you Saturday".
Five steps. The first takes about ten minutes; the rest are on us.
Apply
Continue with LinkedIn, tell us who's joining, and fill in The Gammat Welcome for each person. Or request a call and we'll fill it in with you.
We review
A real person on our team reads every profile. We'll get back to you within days.
Approved
You're in. Approved members see a Register button on the Event Board, and you never have to apply again.
Register & pay
Pick who's coming, agree to the terms, and pay securely through by UPI, card or netbanking.
Your ticket
A QR ticket lands on email and WhatsApp. Show it at the door, find your name card, and the afternoon begins.
This month's invitation.
One afternoon a month, announced here with its theme and plan. Seats are limited, and an event runs once it reaches its minimum. The numbers below are live.
Three hours, beautifully planned.
Every month is different, but the shape is the same: easy beginnings, a proper reason to talk, and goodbyes that come too soon.
Welcome at the door
Your host greets you by name and walks you to your table. Chai first, always. Nobody stands around holding a glass, wondering who to talk to.
A small, funny start
An icebreaker designed for the shy as much as the chatty. Ten minutes in, you'll know everyone's name and one surprising thing about them.
The menu arrives
A fixed, curated spread from the venue's kitchen, always with a vegetarian option. Tell us about allergies when you apply, and we'll take care of it.
The main event
The month's big activity, played as a table. It might be a game, a challenge or a story round. We keep it a surprise.
Chai break
Refills, a stretch, and the conversations nobody planned, which are usually the best ones.
Round two
A second, different activity, so the quiet ones and the quick ones both get their moment.
Verdicts and photographs
Scores, small prizes nobody asked for, and a group photo for those who said yes (and only them).
Home, with numbers saved
A thank-you, a hint about next month, and usually a few people heading out for one more chai together.
Why don't you list the activities? Because half the fun is not knowing. Each month's theme and time-by-time plan appear on the Event Board once it's announced. That's enough to know whether it's for you, and the rest you'll discover at the table.
Cafés worth dressing up for.
We partner with premium, accessible cafés and restaurants across the city, and pick each month's venue with our members' homes in mind. Guests make their own way there.
Bring your partner. Sign up your parents.
Many of us didn't move alone. Gammat is for the whole household that arrived in Pune, and for the parents who moved here to be closer to you.
You, plus the people you live with
Apply for yourself and add your partner, parents or children to the same account.
- Each person is a separate member with their own questionnaire, answered by you
- They share your phone and email, so all tickets come to you
- Register everyone for an event in one go, and pay once
Just your parents (or another family member)
You don't have to be a member to sign up your parents. Your account becomes their primary contact.
- Perfect if your parents have moved to Pune and you're busy on weekends
- You answer The Gammat Welcome for them, and they get their own seats
- Prefer to talk it through? Request a call and we'll fill it in together, in Marathi, Hindi, Kannada or English
The account holder must be 18 or older and a working professional, verified through LinkedIn. You confirm that the people you add are happy to be signed up. We seat families across different tables on purpose, so everyone makes their own friends. Ask us if you'd rather sit together.
Strangers, but carefully chosen ones.
Turning up somewhere new takes courage. Here's what we do so you can relax the moment you walk in.
Verified account holders
Every account holder is a working professional verified through LinkedIn, or on a call with our team.
Every profile reviewed
A real person reads each application. We say no when someone is looking for business leads or dates.
A host at every event
Our host runs the afternoon, keeps an eye on every table, and is the person to talk to if anything feels off.
A Code of Conduct with teeth
Respect, consent and kindness, agreed by everyone before they join. We will remove anyone who doesn't follow it.
Your details stay private
Your address is seen only by our team, for planning venues. Other members only ever see your first name at the table.
Photos only with a yes
Choose "No photos of me, please" and you'll get a small olive dot on your name card. Nobody photographs you.
Secure payments
Payments go through , an RBI-regulated payment gateway. We never see or store your card details.
Fair refunds
A full refund up to days before, a one-time move after that, and a full refund if we cancel. Read the policy.
Accessible venues
We choose venues our parents can enjoy too, and each event lists its access details. Tell us what helps, and we'll arrange it.
