LGBTQIA+ dating · Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Rangmel is a free dating app for LGBTQIA+ adults in India. In Chennai you'll only be shown people who are looking for someone like you — and they'll only see you if you're looking for someone like them. Nobody can message you unless you both said yes.
Honest number: Chennai is early. The first people in a city are the ones the rest come for — and a friend's invite link gives you both bonus points.
Everyone, only your matches, or one person at a time. Hidden photos are blurred in the file itself — no membership can see past it, because there is no membership.
You appear only to people whose "who I want to meet" includes you. A trans woman never lands in the deck of someone who said they only want cis women.
One tap loads a neutral page over the app, and there's an optional PIN lock. For when the risk is someone in the room, not online.
Organisations in and around Chennai that queer and trans people can turn to. We are not affiliated with them and never pass them anyone's details.
Contacts change; the full directory explains what each one does and the national numbers that work anywhere.
Nandi Hills at sunrise, the Skandagiri trek with a forest permit, and the Chunchi Falls and Mekedatu road: three day trips from Bengaluru for couples who have already met, with timings, permits and safety.
Relaxed, public first dates in Chennai: Chamiers Café in Adyar, Amethyst in Royapettah, an evening at Besant Nagar, and how to plan a first meeting that is safe and easy to leave.
Six Pune cafés with a record of welcoming LGBTQ+ people, including queer-run Stories Café in Koregaon Park, plus how to plan an easy first coffee with someone from an app.
Two minutes to join. You choose who sees you before anyone does.
