Overview
Prsnn is a peer-to-peer companion marketplace — it connects people who want company for an outing, an errand, or simply for presence, with verified companions available near them. It is live across four Indian cities — Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad — and has grown to 500+ users with a 4.9/5 rating.

The challenge
"Companionship" is not one need — sometimes people want an active partner to explore a city, sometimes just quiet presence. A single generic "book a person" flow flattens all of that. Prsnn needed discovery that respects those different intents, and — because it puts strangers in contact — trust and safety built in from the first screen.
Multi-mode discovery
Instead of one search box, Prsnn offers four distinct modes, each shaping how companions are matched and presented:
Don't Go Alone
Find a companion for an outing you'd rather not do solo.
Sit With Me
Quiet company — someone to simply be present alongside you.
Be Around
Low-key presence nearby without a structured plan.
Explore Together
Pair up to discover places and experiences in the city.
Real-time availability
Bookings only work if availability is honest. I built a real-time availability system on Socket.io so companion slots reflect the current state — when a slot is taken it disappears for everyone instantly, and users book against live data rather than a stale calendar. Verified profiles sit on top of this, so every bookable companion has been vetted.

Payments are handled through a secure Razorpay integration, so money changes hands inside a trusted, compliant flow. On the supply side, I built the full companion onboarding journey end-to-end — sign-up, verification, and going live — alongside user authentication for the people booking them.
