How it works
From stranger to conversation, in four steps.
LinkkWinkk looks for the people you're already near, works out which of them you'd actually want to meet, and makes the first hello easy. Here is each step, what you can do at launch, and the controls you keep.
The four steps
Four steps, one app.
-
Create your professional identity
Sign in with LinkedIn, or with your email and a one-time code. There are no passwords anywhere. Add your role and company, the topics you work on, and what you're here for: networking, mentorship, peer learning, or a quiet commute.
Choose your office hub and where your commute starts. The start point is rounded to about 500 metres and never shown to anyone.
-
Discover compatible professionals
You see people along your route and around your hub. Each one comes with a short reason, in plain words, for why you might click.
-
Find a shared journey or space
Send a request. Once you're connected, plan a meet from the chat: a coffee at a place and time that suits you both, or a trip together by train, in your car, or in a shared cab.
-
Turn the moment into a connection
Message, share files, meet, and keep in touch. If anything feels wrong, block or report the person from their profile or your chat.
Six everyday places
What you can do in each one.
Metro and local train At launch
Tell LinkkWinkk where you start and which hub you work at, and it finds people whose route overlaps yours, and at what hours.
Office hub At launch
Four Mumbai hubs at launch: BKC, Lower Parel, Nirlon and Nesco, and Thane. You meet people who work in your district, whichever company they're at.
Coffee catch-ups At launch
Suggest a place and a time from the chat. The other person can accept, or suggest another time.
Carpool At launch
Plan a trip together and say how you're going: you're driving, you'd share a cab, or you'll take the train together. LinkkWinkk handles no money: any cost you share is between the two of you.
Airport lounge Planned
Meeting people waiting for the same flight or in the same lounge. Not built yet.
Business travel Planned
Finding professionals in a city you're visiting for work. Not built yet.
Compatibility
How LinkkWinkk decides who you see
Four things count, in this order. What you work on matters most. Sharing a route helps, but never decides on its own: someone on another line who does exactly your work can still be a strong match.
What you work on
The topics you both chose.
The route you share
How much of your journey overlaps, and at what times.
What you're here for
Mentorship pairs with mentorship, networking with networking.
Experience
Where each of you is in your career.
Privacy and safety
The controls you keep
No passwords At launch
You sign in with LinkedIn or with a code sent to your email.
Your email stays private At launch
No member ever sees another member's email address.
Your start point stays private At launch
It's rounded to about 500 metres and shown to nobody.
Silent mode At launch
Choose a quiet commute and you won't be suggested to people looking to talk.
Block and report At launch
From any profile or chat. Blocking takes effect straight away.
Delete your account At launch
From settings, at any time. Your profile, messages and connections go immediately.
Share a trip with someone you trust Planned
Letting a friend or family member follow a trip you're on. Not built yet.
