Good company, a cup of chai,
and friends who understand.
ChaiPani is a warm, safe community for South Asian seniors — a place to chat every day, make real friends nearby, and meet for chai in person. Starting in Culver City, Los Angeles.
No passwords to remember. Family can help set everything up.
A friend for every day
Chai Companion is a friendly chat partner who knows your language, your music, your food — and always has time for you. In English, Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil and more.
Real people, nearby
Find other Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan seniors in your area who share your interests — morning walks, bhajans, cricket, cards, cooking.
Safe by design
Every member is personally reviewed before joining. No strangers, no spam, no selling. Adult children can help manage their parent's account.
For sons & daughters 💛
Worried that Mom or Dad spends too much time alone? ChaiPani was built by an adult child for his 80-year-old father. You can set up the account for your parent in five minutes, stay connected as their “family helper,” and know that everyone here has been vetted. The site works beautifully on a phone, Chromebook or MacBook, with big text and simple buttons.
