A friend who had just moved to Bangalore called me and said "yaar there's nothing to do here, you told me about all these crazy things you did when you lived there." I laughed. Because I realized I only knew where to look.

The best events are buried in WhatsApp groups. The best cafes survive on word of mouth. The best communities are invite only. If you grew up here you inherit that map. If you're new, you don't.

I looked into it more and realized it wasn't just people moving to Bangalore. Even locals didn't have a single place to find what was happening in their own city.

So I built Ooru:
