Introducing BALMA, the world's pioneering app designed specifically for South Asian LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies to connect in a safe and inclusive environment. Originating from the vibrant cultures of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, BALMA is crafted and operated by members of the LGBT, gay, trans, and Hijra communities, ensuring a truly diverse and welcoming space. Our mission is to empower South Asian folks who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual, along with their supportive allies, to form meaningful connections and foster a strong sense of community.
