About

We think university is about people.

Every year, thousands of students walk through the UPES campus.

Most of us graduate having met only a small fraction of them.

Not because we didn't want to—but because university naturally places us into small circles.

The same classrooms.

The same hostel floors.

The same clubs.

The same friend groups.

Orbit exists to make discovering people beyond those circles a little easier.

So, what is Orbit?

A simple way to discover people on your campus.

Orbit is a discovery platform built exclusively for verified UPES students.

It helps students discover people beyond their everyday circles through shared interests.

Whether you're looking for people who share your interests, a new teammate, a photographer, another musician, a co-founder, or simply someone outside your everyday circle, Orbit helps you discover them.

Once you've found someone interesting, continue the conversation on Instagram.

What Orbit isn't

Just to be clear.

Orbit isn't another social media app.

It isn't a dating app.

It isn't trying to replace Instagram.

It isn't built to keep you scrolling.

Orbit has one purpose:

Helping students discover people.

Instagram already does conversations well. Orbit focuses on helping those conversations begin.

Designed for genuine discovery

Built to be different.

Verified students only

Every profile belongs to a verified UPES student.

No popularity metrics

No likes. No follower counts. No leaderboards. Discovery shouldn't depend on popularity.

Privacy-first

Your profile exists to help people discover you—not to broadcast your life.

Built intentionally

Orbit includes only the features needed for genuine discovery. Nothing more.

University isn't just about the classes you take.

It's about the people you meet. Orbit exists to help you meet a few more of them.
