About GiveAway

GiveAway is a free, local giveaway community in India, the Philippines and Thailand. We make it easy to pass on the things you no longer need to someone nearby who will use them — no selling, no bargaining, no fees.

Why we started

Almost every home has things that are still perfectly useful but no longer needed: the cot your child has outgrown, a study table from college days, a pressure cooker after an upgrade, a shelf of books you have already read, a cooler that was replaced by an AC.

Selling them takes time — photos, calls, bargaining, people who never turn up. The scrap dealer pays very little. Throwing them away feels wrong. Meanwhile, a student a few streets away needs exactly that table, and a young family nearby is looking for a cot.

We built GiveAway to connect those two people in a few minutes. You post the item, choose who gets it, and hand it over. That’s it.

Our mission

Keep useful things in use, and make it easy to help the people around you.

Every item that finds a second home is one less thing in a landfill and one less new thing someone has to buy. Giving locally also builds something money can’t: neighbours who know and trust each other.

What makes GiveAway different

  • Completely free. No prices, no bargaining, no commission and no paid listings. Giving is free and receiving is free — always.
  • Local first. Search by postal code and see what is available close to you, so pickups are quick and easy.
  • You choose who gets it. It is not first-come, first-served. Read the requests, look at ratings and reviews, and pick the person you want to help.
  • Private by design. Only your area is public. Your exact address is shared only in a private chat, only after you accept someone.
  • Every listing is checked. Our moderation team and automatic checks keep out spam, scams and prohibited items.
  • Trust you can see. Ratings and reviews after every handover, and a Verified badge for members with a confirmed email and mobile number.
  • In your language. English, Hindi and Thai today, with more languages on the way.

What we believe in

  • Kindness — a small gift can make a big difference to someone nearby.
  • Safety — clear rules, careful moderation and practical safety advice for every meeting.
  • Privacy — we collect only what we need and we never sell your data.
  • Fairness — no pay-to-win, no promoted listings, no hidden fees.
  • Simplicity — posting an item should take about a minute, on any phone.

Who runs GiveAway

GiveAway is run by GiveAway India, an independent team. We are small, we use the platform ourselves, and we read every message we receive.
