Questions people ask
What is MetUpIn?
A place to meet people for real conversations — co-founders, mentors, collaborators, friends in a new city. Profiles have no photos; you meet over what people write about themselves.
Who can see my profile?
Every member can see your first name, last initial and what you wrote. Your full name (if you allow it) and your LinkedIn and Instagram are only shown to people you are connected with.
How does connecting work?
On someone's profile, tap Connect — or reply to one of their prompts — and write a short note on why you want to talk. They see your profile and the note, and choose to accept or decline. Once accepted, a chat opens for both of you.
What are beans?
Beans are our credits. One bean sends one request. Accepting requests and chatting are always free. Packs start at ₹149.
How do I buy beans?
Open Beans, pick a pack, pay the shown amount to our UPI ID from any UPI app, then upload the screenshot with the UTR number. We verify it and add the beans, usually within a few hours.
Do I get my bean back if someone declines?
No, but if you withdraw a request before they respond, your bean comes back.
Will they know if I decline or skip them?
No. Declines and passes are never announced. Your request simply shows as not accepted.
What are meetups?
Small in-person networking evenings in different cities. Pick one on the Meetups tab, confirm your spot with a small fee, and once we verify the payment you can see who else is coming. You can also host a meetup in your city — we approve it and handle sign-ups and payments.
Why do meetups cost ₹29?
It is a commitment fee, so the people who sign up actually show up and every table stays full. It is not refunded if you do not attend, but if we cancel a meetup you get it back in full.
Someone is making me uncomfortable. What do I do?
Open their profile and choose Report or block. You will stop seeing each other immediately, and our team reviews every report.
How do I take a break or delete my account?
Settings › Privacy lets you hide from the Counter while keeping your chats. Settings › Delete my account removes everything.
