“Bro, do you wanna start something together?”
That’s literally how it started.
We met that night thinking we’d brainstorm for an hour & throw around a few ideas and call it a day, But six hours later at 3 AM, we had a name, a concept, branding, our first few posts and an Instagram page. We didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves into but we were excited, and that was enough.
Having known each other since middle school, we’ve always been the kind of people who are up for pretty much anything. We always were the friends making spontaneous plans and going on random adventures But we also knew the struggle of making plans with friends, only to have everyone cancel at the last minute. So we thought, why not just make our own plans? And maybe meet a few new people along the way?
And that’s how Forget Fomo was born.
We wanted to bring something different to Bangalore. Something beyond the usual weekend routine of parties, cafes and mall visits. We wanted people to have experiences, go on adventures, meet people outside their usual circles and make memories they would actually remember.
More than anything, we wanted to create the kind of space we’d have loved to find ourselves. A place where showing up alone wasn’t awkward, meeting strangers wasn’t intimidating and a random weekend plan could turn into friendships that last for years. A little home away from home in a city as big as Bangalore.
What started as a random Monday night idea has now grown into 135+ events, 15 trips and a community of people who have made this whole thing so much more special than we ever imagined.
Looking back, we’re so glad we didn’t overthink that Monday night. We didn’t have everything figured out and we had no idea where this would take us. We just had an idea and decided to go for it.
Today, Forget Fomo is so much more than events and trips. It’s about people, friendships, trying things you’ve never tried before and finding your place in a city that can sometimes feel a little too big.
