The Curiosity Quotient

Community circles in Chennai

The crossroads of Chennai’s communities. A place for people with shared interests to find each other, bring their worlds along, and have conversations that might not happen anywhere else.

Each Circle is a small gathering around one interest, led by people who live and breathe it. Season One covered indie music, stargazing, Madras history and an umpire’s view of cricket.

Circles are for anyone curious about the city and the people in it. They are a good way to meet new people in Chennai without small talk: you arrive with a shared interest and leave with a few new ones.

What we do in Circles

  • Interest-led community meetups
  • Conversations with niche experts and enthusiasts
