Young people are more connected online than any generation before, yet many are lonely, wary of approaching strangers, and see friendships fade within months. Most apps optimise for romance or for screen time, and neither gets people into the same room.
Dostbox is a friendship app for adults: groups and plans first, one-to-one when you want it. We measure success in real plans attended, not minutes in the app.

Through groups and plans that end in a real meetup, safe by design and comfortable for the shy.
Groups and plans come first; one-to-one Duo Mode is an opt-in extra, never the front door.
Success is a meetup attended.
The default way to meet someone is through a shared plan.
Adults only (18+), and every meetup has a safety path.
Five tabs, three taps to join a plan.
You pay for convenience and reach, never to make friends.
Dostbox is part of the STARTIONS ecosystem: student founders run its sales, marketing and operations, and STARTIONS LLP handles packages, GST invoices and the platform. Made in Mumbai, launching in Mumbai and MMR first.
