Nanbu is a private membership home for the people who love your work most. Post for them, talk with them, and get paid every week, directly over UPI.
You create.
You post everywhere.
And the people who care the most, the ones who would show up for anything, get the same ranked feed as every passing stranger.
You never really get to know them.
What if your closest people had a home?
That's Nanbu
Nanbu has no ranking algorithm, by design, not as a setting. Whatever you share reaches every member who chose you, newest first, every time. The relationship stays between you and them.
An audience
Your people
What you get
Not a hundred features. The right ones, built carefully, for a paid relationship between you and your people.
A public home at nanbu.in/yourname. One link to give your audience, wherever they follow you today.
Monthly membership tiers from ₹49 to ₹999, priced by you. You decide what each tier unlocks.
Photos, videos, voice notes, and writing, locked to the tiers you choose. Members see everything newest first. There is no ranking between you and them.
Send one update and it lands with every member, or only the tiers you pick. Announcements, drops, and the news your people should hear from you first.
Direct messages open on tiers of ₹199 and above. Real conversations with the people most committed to you, and a calm inbox by design.
Members can send a one-time tip over UPI, from ₹49 up, whenever they want to give something extra. Independent of any tier.
What it costs
0%
platform fee for your first 60 days as a Founding Creator
10%
for the five years after that, locked to your approval date
15%
the standard rate once the founding window ends
No monthly charge. Nanbu keeps a flat share of what your members pay you; Razorpay's payment processing is charged separately. Every transaction stores the exact rate applied to it, so a rate you were promised can never be quietly rewritten later. Founding Creators also keep permanent featured placement wherever creators are discovered on Nanbu.
How it works

Get paid weekly
Subscription earnings are paid out to your UPI or bank account on a weekly cycle.
Trust
A close, paid relationship only works if both sides can trust the room it happens in. These aren't policies on a page. They're built into how Nanbu works.
A person reviews every creator application before their page goes live. No drive-by storefronts.
Every image and video is scanned before any member can see it. Flagged content waits for human review.
Images are delivered with a per-member watermark, so creators' work stays traceable if it leaks.
Come closer to the creator you already love. Unlock the work they keep for their inner circle, hear from them the moment there is something to hear, and talk to them for real.
The name
Nanbu comes from nanban, the Tamil word for friend. A fan cheers from the crowd. A friend gets let in. Membership here is built for the second kind of closeness: not more content, but more of the person behind it.
Inside
The moments below are illustrations, but every one of them is something Nanbu really does.
A creator, to their circle
From the founder
I started Nanbu because of a gap I could not stop seeing.
India is full of extraordinary creators. Musicians, teachers, comedians, artists, writers. Between them and the people who genuinely love their work sits a ranking system that treats a creator's most devoted supporter exactly like a passing stranger. Creators with real communities cannot reliably reach them, and the people who would happily stand behind a creator have no honest, direct way to do it.
So Nanbu is a simple promise, built carefully. A creator's truest people gather in one place around them. Whatever the creator shares reaches every one of them, every time. Support flows directly, in rupees, over UPI, and creators are paid every week. No algorithm in the middle, no invented numbers, nothing designed to keep anyone scrolling.
The name is the brief. Nanbu comes from nanban, friend. Everything we build has to survive one question: does this bring the creator and their people closer, or is it just another feature?
We are at the very beginning. If you are a creator who wants your people near you, or you have a creator you would stand behind, I would love for you to be early here.

Founder, Nanbu

Active supporters, monthly revenue, tier performance, and payout history. Real numbers from your real data, nothing invented.
Direct messages only open on higher tiers. Creators hear from committed members, not a flood of strangers.
Payments are processed by Razorpay over UPI AutoPay. Members can cancel any membership themselves, right from Settings, and access lasts through the period already paid for. Creators are paid out weekly.

Thank you for this space.
Thank you for being in it.
Membership
Each creator sets their own tiers, from ₹49 to ₹999 a month, and decides what each one unlocks. Wherever you join, this is what membership means on Nanbu.
Members-only photos, videos, voice notes, and writing, straight from your creator to you. Newest first, every time. There is no algorithm to fight.
Updates land with you the moment they are sent. You hear it because you are a member, not because a feed allowed it.
On tiers of ₹199 and above, direct messages go both ways. Ask, reply, and actually talk.
Send a one-time tip over UPI, from ₹49, whenever you want to give something extra.
Your membership pays your creator directly. Nanbu keeps a flat share, and creators are paid out every week.
Memberships run on UPI AutoPay through Razorpay. Cancel anytime from your own Settings, and keep access through the period you already paid for.
