Making Friends in Delhi When You're New
New to Delhi, or just tired of the same three people? Join verified weekly hangouts and turn strangers into a proper friend group. The IRL meetup app for hanging out — verified squads meet weekly around Hauz Khas, Connaught Place and Aerocity, most nights anchored near Aerocity & CyberHub.
Where making friends in a new city actually happens in Delhi
Most Hoot Me squads in Delhi form around three pockets: Hauz Khas, Connaught Place and Aerocity. Weeknights lean smaller and local; Fridays and Saturdays cluster around Aerocity & CyberHub. Getting home is usually Ola/Uber (metro closes 11) — worth checking before you commit to a late set.
Creative and freelance crews (photographers, DJs, promoters) tend to base themselves around Shahpur Jat & Hauz Khas, which is why a lot of the pop-up events in Delhi surface there first on Hoot Me's live map.
