What's good of a social network if we can’t make friends? We've created ApnaCafe for you to make lots of new friends, re-connect with old ones, share relationships about common interests or link with other members as professionals.
1What is ApnaCafe?
ApnaCafe is a social networking and review tool that connects you with South Asians around the world and share information with them.
The word "Apna" in Hindi means "Our". ApnaCafe allows you to connect with people in a meaningful and valuable way. ApnaCafe is built on a solid Web 2.0 platform with an architecture spanning interconnected social applications.
You can use ApnaCafe to find your soul mate, make new friends, or help your friends meet each other in a comfortable environment.

2The "ApnaCafe" idea!
The main focus of the site is to empower the online Desi community and allow members to share information in a comfortable environment. ApnaCafe was primarily started to consolidate all Desi-specific core applications and as a platform to bring friends from different networking sites together in one place, giving users many powerful features with a Desi identity.
As with other networking sites, ApnaCafe’s clean design and user-friendly layout enables users to share information online the same way they do in the real world. They can connect with friends, find people with shared interests, join groups, send messages, share videos, compose blogs, write movie reviews and post photos.
ApnaCafe allows users to set up profiles and communicate with one another using regional languages including Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Tamil, Telugu and lot more.
3Key Features
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
ApnaCafe's Single Sign-On (SSO) technology helps sign-in to ApnaCafe very easily using an account you already have at Facebook, AOL, Google/Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft Live, Twitter, MySpace, OpenID, Blogger, WordPress, Flickr, LiveJournal, and Hyves.
The site also makes it simple to incorporate users’ other social networking accounts into their ApnaCafe profile. Anyone can import contact lists, address books and display their Twitter feeds and write scraps similar to Orkut on their profiles, all in their own languages. Users can also register for ApnaCafe using Facebook, which pulls the necessary information from their Facebook profile to establish an ApnaCafe profile quickly and easily.
