The best apps for finding things to do in Mumbai
Mumbai has no shortage of things to do — the hard part is that they live in different places. Big concerts are on one app, courts on another, and the best gigs, workshops, supper clubs and run clubs hide in Instagram bios and WhatsApp groups.
Here's what each app is actually good for, so you know where to look.

The picks
01
Hiive: Best for finding plans and your people, whatever you're into
Hiive launched in Mumbai and shows what's on near you — gigs, comedy nights, workshops, supper clubs, art jams, run clubs, games, treks and meetups — plus the communities behind them, with chat that lasts after the event.
Watch out: Built around events and communities, not movie tickets or restaurant reservations.
02
District by Zomato: Best for big concerts, movies and dining
Eternal's going-out app covers movies, events, dining, comedy, activities and sports across India.
Watch out: Built for buying tickets rather than joining a community.
03
Playo: Best for booking a court
Book courts and turfs, and host or join pickup games with other players.
Watch out: Sport-only; no classes, socials or workshops.
04
Meetup: Best for interest groups
Long-running groups for tech, languages, books and hobbies.
Watch out: Built around groups rather than one-off activities, and organizers pay a subscription.
05
Luma: Best for startup and tech events
Luma is popular with tech and startup communities, so it's worth checking for professional meetups.
Watch out: Luma says it can't support Stripe accounts based in India, so it's mainly useful for free events here.
