for hosts

Your session, full. Your regulars, back every week.

Joyn is built for the people who actually make plans happen — instructors, run clubs, trek organisers, guides, cafe and turf owners, workshop leaders and creators who want to meet their audience offline. Publish a plan, fill it with people nearby, and turn one good session into a weekly one.

Who hosts on Joyn.

If people already show up for something you run, Joyn is where the next twenty find you.

Fitness, yoga & dance instructors

Independent teachers running classes in parks, studios and terraces.

Run clubs & cycling crews

Weekend leaders who need the same faces back at 5:45 am.

Trek & trip organisers

Day hikes, overnight treks, and city-to-hills weekend trips.

Local guides & heritage walks

Old-city walks, food trails, birding routes, photo walks.

Board-game cafes & turf owners

Fill the empty weekday slot with a public game night or turf match.

Workshop leaders

Pottery, cooking, photography, journaling — anything hands-on.

Comedy & open-mic organisers

Build a room that comes back, not a one-off ticket dump.

Instagram creators

Turn followers into a group that actually meets you offline.

built and working today

What you get.

Everything below is in the app right now, in early access, free.

Recurring series, not one-offs

Set a weekly or monthly series once. Every session gets its own next-session link, and regulars can opt into auto-join so they never miss a week.

Attendance and reliability

Mark who showed up after each session. Your host reliability and your regulars' show-up scores appear on profiles, so no-shows stop being invisible. Anyone can raise an attendance dispute if a mark looks wrong.

Approval-only and women-only plans

Review every request before someone is in. Women-only plans are limited to verified women. Restricted plans hide the exact venue and the participant list until you approve.

Group chat without sharing numbers

Every plan gets an activity group chat for timing, travel, kit and last-minute changes. Nobody hands out a phone number to join your class.

Safety tools during the session

Participants can share the plan with someone they trust, set a private safety check-in, and reach 112 or 1091 from inside the plan. Fewer awkward first sessions.

A shareable page for every plan

Each plan has a deep link and a web preview page you can drop into your Instagram story, a WhatsApp group, or a poster QR code.

Coming soon

How hosting works.

Verify with a selfie.

A quick selfie liveness check confirms you're a real person. That's the whole gate — no documents, no waiting list interview.

takes under a minute

Publish a plan, or a series.

Start from a template for classes, runs, treks, walks, game nights or workshops. Set capacity, cost, approval rules, and repeat it weekly if it works.

Mark attendance, build reliability.

After each session, mark who showed. Reviews and your host reliability score do the convincing for the next twenty people who find you.

the practical bits

Host questions.

Does Joyn charge hosts anything?

No. Joyn takes no fees from hosts today. Listing a plan, running a recurring series, and using approval, chat and safety tools are all free. If you charge for your session, you collect that yourself, exactly as you do now.

How are hosts verified?

The same way every member is, and then some. Every account is tied to an Indian mobile number, an 18+ date of birth and a real profile, and the verified badge requires a live selfie check plus a government ID check through DigiLocker, where Joyn keeps only the outcome and never the document. A verified profile is required to host restricted or women-only plans. On top of that, every plan you run is scored from venue check-ins, attendee confirmations and reviews, so your reliability record is public and cannot be bought.

Can I make my plan approval-only?

Yes. Approval-only plans let you review each request before someone is in. Until you approve them, the exact venue and the participant list stay hidden, which is what most instructors and trek organisers want for a first session.

Can I run a women-only class or ride?

Yes. Women-only plans are open to verified women only, and the host approves each participant. Restricted plans do not reveal participant identities or the exact venue to anyone outside the plan.

How do attendance and reliability work?

You mark attendance after each session. Those marks build a show-up score for participants and a reliability score for you as a host, both shown on profiles alongside reviews. If someone believes a mark is wrong, they can raise an attendance dispute and you can correct it.

Can I bring my existing WhatsApp group?

Yes. Share your plan link with the group and they can join without you handing out anyone's number. Every plan gets its own activity group chat inside Joyn, so timings, venue changes and equipment notes stay in one place and phone numbers stay private.

When are payments coming?

Paid tickets with UPI and host payouts are coming soon and are not available yet, and so is a public host page. Before your first paid ticket you will complete payout KYC: legal name, PAN and a bank account verified by a penny-drop transfer. You are paid after each session has taken place, and members see the platform fee before they pay. We will tell early-access hosts before any of it goes live.
