5 unique initiatives in Vizag through which you can meet people and make friendships!

Meeting new people and making friends outside of work as an adult is hard enough as it is and the quarantine period during the pandemic took a toll on individuals’ social skills, making matters worse. If you’re wondering how to meet new people in Vizag, these five platforms are coming to the rescue and allowing Vizagites to connect with like-minded people organically:

1. Vizag Reads

Inspired by Bangalore’s ‘Cubbon Reads’, Shireen and Meghana, two Vizagites with a shared passion for reading, formed this community of silent readers in Vizag. Avid readers from across the city assemble at VMRDA Central Park every Sunday to read together amidst the lush greenery of the city’s loveliest park. This silent-reading community

allows people of all ages and backgrounds to meet and bond over their shared passion for books and reading, sparking intellectual conversations and debates. Check out their page here.

2. WildED

WildED is a community of nature enthusiasts based out of Vizag who regularly meet to go on “explorative and educational nature walks”. The founder, Vimal Raj, with his team, regularly organise treks, harbour walks, insect walks, farm visits, and more. They also organise intertidal walks and geology trips that captivate the young and old alike. This makes for quite an intriguing and educative way of meeting fellow nature enthusiasts in Vizag. Check out their Instagram

3. Vizag Writers

Listen up, litterateurs of Vizag! This community in Vizag is a space where writers from Vizag “write, learn, share, and grow”.

5. Visakhapatnam Reddit forum

This subreddit dedicated to the people, events, and stories about the city of Vizag with over eleven thousand members hosts monthly meet-ups for Vizagites to meet and play box-cricket or simply connect with fellow locals. This casual and inclusive community makes for a great way for Vizagites to meet like-minded people and socialise. Join the subreddit to receive updates and reminders about their monthly meet-ups.
