How it works
From one request to a delivered event

Quote requests are usually reviewed within one business day. Most are ready the same day they're submitted.

The Nirkana model
An orchestration layer over a fragmented vendor market
Event services are spread across independent vendors with no common standard for pricing, quality or reliability. Nirkana sits between you and that market. We source partners from two networks, manage every order, and own the outcome.

ONDC network
Phase 1Reach and reliability at scale
Nirkana direct
Phase 2Quality, consistency, guaranteed outcomes

Routes each order to the right partner

You
One quote · One contact · One accountable party
Why it matters
Better quality
Direct partners are vetted and onboarded by Nirkana and held to one standard. ONDC partners are verified before they're matched to your event.
Better pricing
A wider supply pool and direct relationships let us price competitively, then quote you one transparent price per guest.
Single accountability
Whichever network fulfils your order, Nirkana is responsible for it. One quote, one contact, one party to hold to account.
Vendors are our partners, not our product. We own the customer relationship and the accountability.
- Phase 1Launching October 2026
Built on ONDC
Requests are matched to verified partners across India's open commerce network. We launch with birthdays in Chennai.
- Phase 2In development
Nirkana direct network
Alongside ONDC, a curated network of partners we've personally vetted and onboarded, for tighter quality control and better pricing.
Join the direct network - Long termHybrid orchestration
The best of both networks
ONDC provides reach and reliability at scale. The direct network provides consistency and the ability to guarantee outcomes.
Built on ONDC
Built on India's open network for digital commerce
ONDC is public digital infrastructure for commerce, backed by the Government of India. It connects apps and sellers on one open network, so no single platform controls who you can buy from.
- Who runs it
- A not-for-profit company set up under DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.
- What it is
- An open protocol, like UPI is for payments. Not an app, and not a marketplace.
- What it does
- Lets any participating app discover and transact with sellers on any other participating app.
- Nirkana's role
- A buyer-side app on the network. We discover and match verified sellers on your behalf.
What it means for your event
Reach
Partners from across the open network, not only the vendors a single platform has signed up. More choice for your date, location and budget.
Reliability
Orders follow common network rules for status, cancellation and issue resolution, rather than terms set by one platform.
Transparency
Orders move through standard, protocol-defined states, and complaints are tracked through ONDC's Issue and Grievance Management framework.
Why we chose an open network
ONDC gives Nirkana reach from day one, on rails we don't have to own. From Phase 2, our direct network adds the consistency to guarantee outcomes. Either way, Nirkana stays accountable for your order.

Common questions
The short version of how Nirkana works. Everything else is in the full FAQ.
All questionsWhat is Nirkana?
Nirkana is a service marketplace and event orchestration platform. You tell us about your event once; we match each part of it, such as decor, cake and catering, to a verified partner, give you one quote, and coordinate every order through to delivery. We don't make the cake or print the decor ourselves. We make sure the right partner does, and we're accountable for the result.
How do I book a birthday event in Chennai?
Request a free quote with your date, guest count and location in Chennai. We come back with a per-guest price and exactly what's included. There's no payment or commitment at that stage.
How much does a birthday event in Chennai cost?
Packages are priced per guest, so your total scales with the size of your party. Your quote combines every partner's cost into one price. There are no separate vendor negotiations and no line items added later. The prices on our Packages page are a starting guide; your exact quote depends on guest count, location and any customisation.
Is Nirkana safe to use?
Yes. Every partner is verified before they're matched to your event, you see one clear price before you commit, and Nirkana is your single point of accountability from booking to delivery. Orders placed through ONDC are also covered by the network's grievance framework.
What if something goes wrong?
Contact us straight away. Nirkana is accountable for your whole order, so if any part of it falls short, it's on us to fix it, not on you to chase a partner. For orders placed through ONDC, issues are also tracked through ONDC's Issue and Grievance Management framework.
