Launching a new social app – Bubbel

Dear Rodinhooders! 

Presenting you a new social app Bubbel that will help you do what you love doing!

What is Bubbel?

Bubbel is a simple way to find like-minded people around you who share your interests. You can add your interests be it sports, fitness, hangout, indoors and find other people around you who also share the same interest. You can choose distance (within 200 mtr, 500 mtr, 1 km, 2 km, etc) and find people who live in your building, your society, your campus and your area. You can find a gym buddy, a friend to play tennis with, a friend to have a drink with, a group to play cricket over weekend and much more.  

What gap is Bubbel trying to address?

Relocation has become an important part of life and we shift to new campuses, new areas and new cities – for studies, for job, for marriage and other life events. If we don’t move, friends around us do. This is more applicable for our TG of folks living in metros between 23-35 yrs of age. It’s never the same people living around you. But you need people whom you can meet often and pursue your interests – sports, drinks and dining, fitness or just chit-chat. If you have friends close around you, you can spend more time on what you love rather than one of you spending time travelling to other’s place or managing mutually convenient time. Time or travel is not an issue for friends living in next building with 280 flats. Bubbel will help its user make such friends. You can find friends, among 2000+ flats in your campus, with whom you can play, eat, chat, laugh and do what you love doing and do it more often!       

How is it different from other social app?

Great social apps already exist; we use them and we ofcourse love them!!! But Bubbel is aimed to address specific needs and differs from existing social platform in one way or the other. These differentiators below make Bubbel unique and hopefully useful to its users!

1. Bubbel is GPS (location) based app that helps users find people within desired distance.
2. Most of the existing social apps are primarily used for being connected with people we already know or knowing more people through existing network. Bubbel helps you find new friends who are close by.
3. Bubbel needs its users to essentially add interests to find like-minded people. People not always add their interests in platforms like FB etc. making it difficult to find people just based on interests. 
4. The interests-groups formed on existing platforms are crowded and posts may get missed by relevant users. With Bubbel, users can choose one on one connection with whom they can interact over Bubbel chat and form their own micro community.

Thanks!
