The youth of Kolkata gathered this Sunday evening to celebrate the joy of meaningful relationships at a quaint rooftop cafe. This Friendship Day event was organised by flutrr, India’s first multi-lingual app for serious relationships, in collaboration with The Serra Café.
flutrr is a dating app from Kolkata that enables young Indians to forge meaningful relationships rooted in shared linguistic, traditional, and cultural interests. The bond of friendship is as important as any other and forms the base of a majority of our social interactions. These relationships play a significant role in our life providing joy, support and a sense of belonging. With this intimate event, flutrr intended to celebrate and foster these meaningful bonds. Featuring performances by Kolkata artists, flutrr also intends to nurture local talent and provide it with a space to flourish.
Kaushik Banerjee, Co-founder & CEO of flutrr said, “Since we are a Kolkata-based startup we wanted our first event to be held in Kolkata. Friendship Day was an ideal choice since flutrr emphasises the importance of meaningful connections, and friendships are as meaningful a connection as any. We hope that this serves as a starting point for more such gatherings celebrating the country’s vibrant youth.”
“This event in collaboration with The Serra Café was a celebration of the youth of Kolkata and the meaningful bonds they share with their friends and loved ones. Going forward, we intend to host more such events and get more chances to really connect with the youth in various cities across India,” added Anirban Banerjee, Co-founder & CMO, flutrr.
