Anurag Pandey — Founder

Throughout my life, I’ve always asked myself a ‘why’ before starting anything. My ‘why’ for founding Third Place came from years of close observation, knocking on the wrong doors, and realising that success isn’t about fancy titles or fat paychecks. My purpose was to find the missing piece – the real moments. I built Third Place for people like you, me, and everyone in between to find real people, real stories, and real conversations beyond the screen and outside the walls of work and home. I spearheaded the mission to build the most authentic, human, and curated IRL experiences that spark real connections and create lasting memories. In a world full of AI, algorithms and artificial intimacy, I’m here to rekindle meaningful connections — the kind we had back in the days of payphones and cassettes. Between chasing big titles, doom scrolling on dating apps, and checking off never-ending to-do lists, we forgot how to connect. We lost ourselves in the noise. And it’s time to be found. Take a chance with friendly strangers on eventful evenings! Because the best things in life are unexpected — they just happen. I welcome you to Third Place, with a warm virtual hug! (and maybe a few fries too :))
