BALMA is revolutionizing the way South Asian LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies connect, offering a pioneering platform for those identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and beyond. Founded by members of the LGBT, gay, trans, and Hijra communities from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, BALMA is more than just an app—it's a safe haven for diversity and inclusivity. Here’s why BALMA stands out:
User Profiles
At BALMA, you can craft a profile that truly represents you. Share your age, location, interests, relationship status, and pronouns to express your authentic self and connect with others on a deeper level.
Live Broadcasting
Go live with BALMA's broadcasting feature, where you can share video content with a broader audience. Engage with viewers through comments and receive virtual gifts, which can be converted into cash to support your favorite content creators.
Chatting
Our robust messaging system allows for seamless communication. Send messages, share photos, exchange videos, and even tip users with virtual gifts to foster connections and spark meaningful conversations.
Location-Based Connections
As a Queer social networking app, BALMA leverages geolocation to help you find and connect with other LGBTQIA+ individuals in your vicinity. This feature facilitates local meetups and helps you build genuine relationships.
Community
Join or create interest-based communities and groups on BALMA to connect with like-minded individuals. Our platform encourages networking, discussions, and the organization of events centered around LGBTQIA+ themes.
Video Chat
Enhance your communication with our video chat feature, allowing you to have face-to-face conversations within the app. This helps strengthen bonds and foster deeper connections within the LGBT+ community.
Events
Stay updated on LGBTQIA+ events, parties, Pride celebrations, and social gatherings across various cities. BALMA enables you to plan and participate in these community events, helping you build connections and engage with the broader LGBTQIA+ community.
Travel Mode
With BALMA's Travel Mode, you can connect with locals and fellow travelers before arriving at your destination. This feature is perfect for meeting like-minded individuals and exploring LGBTQIA+-friendly destinations. Simply activate the Travel Mode Icon in the settings section to indicate you're visiting.
Safety and Verification
Your safety is our priority. BALMA offers robust security features such as user verification, screenshot protection, reporting, and blocking options to create a secure and inclusive environment. These measures help protect against harassment and ensure respectful interactions within our community.
Balma Subscriptions
BALMA is free to download and use, but we also offer enhanced features and services through optional subscription packages (BALMA Unlimited) or individual paid services like Gifts and Tips. Choose from flexible subscription durations—weekly, monthly, 3-month, or 12-month options—with occasional discounts for longer commitments.
