Free during launch · ID-verified · 18+ · 100% platonic
Kochi is a city of arrivals and departures: Infopark in Kakkanad fills with people from across Kerala and outside it, and half of every family is working in the Gulf. Onam is the moment that shows: everyone else is at a family sadhya and you are not. Marine Drive at sunset, a Fort Kochi evening or a Biennale walk are all better shared, and that is usually what people here are looking for, nothing more.
SaathWala lists ID-verified men in Kochi who are happy to be your companion for an occasion: strictly platonic, always in public, and on your terms.
Renting a boyfriend here means booking a verified man as your companion for a social occasion. He walks in with you, stays by your side and keeps the conversation going, then everyone goes home.
Clear rules, both ways. Companions can say no to anything, members must respect it, and anything sexual is banned outright. That is what keeps it safe and legal.
Walk into the sangeet, reception or cousin's shaadi with someone by your side.
For the lunch where relatives keep asking when you will settle down.
North India's wedding season fills every weekend from November to February. A well-dressed, well-spoken boyfriend at your side means fewer questions from relatives and more fun on the dance floor.
Someone to split the popcorn with.
Explore Kochi with someone who knows it.
Good company for a slow evening.
For weddings, family functions and office parties
Almost every booking in this category is an event with a guest list. A cousin's wedding where the questions start at the buffet, a family function where everyone arrives in pairs, an office party where colleagues bring partners. A verified companion walks in with you, is good company for those few hours, and goes home.
Kochi has its own calendar for this. temple and church festival weekends fills up first, and most first meetings happen somewhere public like Lulu Mall in Edappally.
The rules, before anything else. Every booking on SaathWala is platonic. Meetings happen in public places, nothing physical is expected or allowed, both sides are ID-verified and over 18, and either of you can walk away at any point. Asking for anything else ends the account.
A conference dinner, an award night or a club event that says "and guest".
A birthday, a housewarming, a pooja where everyone else brought someone.
School or college groups where nobody has seen you in five years.
The three days of functions before the wedding, where the same relatives keep asking.
Say you live near Palarivattom and Christmas and New Year across the city is coming up. You join, pick the occasion, and see men who cover Palarivattom and Kakkanad first, with shared hobbies highlighted. You reveal one number, chat on WhatsApp, and meet for a quick coffee at Lulu Mall in Edappally before the day itself. On the day he arrives on time, dressed for it, and leaves when the event does.
Your matches are ranked by locality, shared interests and the occasion you choose, so the people at the top are the ones most likely to say yes.
Distance matters in Kochi. Each companion lists the areas they cover, from Edappally to Aluva, and your matches are sorted so the closest come first.
First meetings belong in public, well-lit places. Popular choices in Kochi:
Never accept a pick-up from home, and never go somewhere private on a first meeting. Our safety guide covers the rest.
SaathWala is new in Kochi, and companions are joining now. Sign up free and you will see profiles as soon as they are verified. If you would like to be a companion here yourself, listing is free.
Free during launch. Sign up, browse and reveal up to 10 numbers every 30 days without paying anything.
Any fee for a companion's time is between you and him, agreed in advance. Never send an advance or deposit to someone you have not met; we never ask you to.
Yes, when it is what SaathWala offers: platonic companionship for social occasions such as weddings, family functions, office parties and outings. Anything sexual is illegal, forbidden by our rules and ends the account permanently.
Joining SaathWala is free during launch, with 10 free contact reveals every 30 days. Companions are independent; if one asks for a fee for their time you agree it directly before meeting. Never pay an advance to someone you have not met.
Many members book exactly that: a polite, well-presented companion for a family lunch or wedding. Agree the story together beforehand, keep it simple, and remember it stays platonic.
Every companion is ID-checked by a person and takes a live selfie before listing. Numbers stay masked until you reveal them, and we recommend a first meeting in a busy public place such as Lulu Mall in Edappally or the Marine Drive walkway.
Yes. Listing is free. Apply at /join, verify your ID and take a live selfie, and choose the localities in Kochi you are happy to cover.
Reveals are for real conversations. If someone does not reply within the guarantee window, support can return that reveal to you.
You handle the invitation and the entry; the companion simply attends with you. Tell them the dress code, the timings and who will be there.
Yes, and it is the sensible thing to do. A short coffee in a public place a few days before means neither of you is meeting a stranger at the venue.
Whatever you both agree beforehand. Most people say "a friend", which is true. Settle the story, the names and the boundaries in chat before the day.
ID-checked companions, masked numbers, your rules. Free while we launch.
