FAQs
Mela was built for you specifically. Businesses on this platform aren't looking for celebrities or mega accounts - they want creators with real audiences, local presence, and genuine content. Your 8,000 engaged followers in Pune are worth far more to a Pune cafe than a 500k fashion account in another city. On Mela, your size is never a disqualifier. Your niche, your city, and your authenticity are what matter.
Yes. Joining the waitlist, creating your profile, browsing collab briefs, and applying to opportunities is free for creators. Mela earns when businesses use the platform to run campaigns at scale - not by charging creators to access opportunities.
When you cold DM a brand on Instagram, you are interrupting them with no context, no structure, and no guarantee they're even open to collabs. On Mela, every business has already posted a brief - which means they have already said yes to the idea of collaborating. You are not pitching into a void. You are walking into a room full of businesses that are actively looking for someone like you. Apply in seconds, and let them come back to you.
No. Mela is built for local collabs across India. We're starting with major metros like Mumbai and Delhi, but the platform is designed to grow city by city. Filter by your location and niche - wherever you are, you'll see businesses near you who want to work with creators like you.
Across food and beverage, fashion, beauty, fitness, lifestyle, and more - from local cafés and salons to D2C product brands. Paid, barter, and affiliate deals all exist on the platform. Filter by what fits your niche, your city, and your preferred collab type - and only apply to the ones that actually excite you.
