Find a verified, platonic boyfriend across Kolkata, the city that turns Durga Puja into five nights of walking, eating and pandal-hopping in a group.
On SaathWala you choose from verified men, see their interests and the occasions they are free for, and message them directly.
Think of it as a plus-one on request. You pick a verified man whose interests match yours, agree the occasion and the place, and he is simply good company for those few hours.
Strictly platonic. Every companion signs our rules before listing: public places, no physical expectations, no exceptions. Breaking them ends the account.
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 West Bengal with someone who knows it.
Sometimes you just need a conversation.
For weddings, family functions and office parties
The searches behind "boyfriend on rent" are rarely about romance. They are about an invitation you would rather not attend alone, and a room full of people who will ask. You pick someone presentable and easy to talk to, agree exactly what will be said and not said, and get through the evening without the interrogation.
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.
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.
A table booked for two that you would rather not sit at alone.
A conference dinner, an award night or a club event that says "and guest".
West Bengal's year is measured in Durga Puja. Five nights of pandal-hopping in groups, then Kali Puja, then Christmas on Park Street. Kolkata is also a city people leave for work, which makes those same nights the loneliest ones for whoever stays.
Those are the dates that fill first across West Bengal. If your occasion is on that list, message a week or two ahead; for an ordinary weekend plan, a day's notice is usually enough.
Wherever you are in West Bengal, the first meeting belongs somewhere busy and public. Across the state, members most often pick places like South City Mall in Prince Anwar Shah Road, Quest Mall in Ballygunge.
Tell someone you trust where you are going, arrange your own transport both ways, and leave the moment anything feels off. Our safety guide has the full checklist.
SaathWala is new, 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.
We do not set companions' rates. Some ask for nothing beyond a shared meal, some charge for their time; you will know before you meet. Never pay upfront to a stranger.
We have pages for Kolkata. Companions can also list other towns.
Platonic companionship for social occasions is legal. SaathWala does not allow dating, escort or any sexual arrangement.
Joining is free during launch, with 10 free contact reveals every 30 days.
Yes. Every companion is ID-checked by a person and takes a live camera selfie before going live.
For wedding dates and festival nights, a week or two. Those evenings fill up first, especially between November and February.
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.
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.
Verified, platonic and private. Free while we launch.
