Conversation & Time Together
Talking, listening, sharing stories and simply being there.

A note to families
For the families who can't always be there
Life is full, and distance, work and responsibilities don't always allow us the time we'd like with the people we love. Ek Cup Baatein offers her a familiar, trusted presence: someone who arrives on time, sits down with her, listens properly and leaves her day a little brighter. And you, a little more at ease.
A moment together
Meet the founder
Hello, I'm Dipti.
Nepean Sea Road has been my home for over forty years. I began my journey as a teacher, and later became a mother and homemaker, running a big, busy household where there was always someone to look after and a story to listen to.
Those years taught me how meaningful it is simply to be there for someone. Ek Cup Baatein is my way of offering that: time, attention and genuine company, one visit at a time.
I visit each woman personally. I don't send anyone on my behalf.
Dipti
What a visit looks like
A conversation. A cup of tea. An afternoon together.
There's no script, no agenda and no pressure. A visit is shaped entirely around her: what she enjoys, what's on her mind, and how she'd like to spend the hour.
- About her day
- Something she read in the newspaper
- A memory that suddenly came back
- Something that made her laugh
- Something that's been on her mind
- At her own pace.

Frequently asked questions
If there's something else on your mind, I'd be glad to hear from you.
Is this a medical or nursing service?
No. It's purely non-medical companionship. For medical needs, please continue with a qualified nurse or caregiver; I'm happy to visit alongside.
Who will visit?
I visit personally, every time.
How long is a visit?
Visits are booked by the hour. Many families choose one or two hours, but we'll find what suits her best.
Can I book on behalf of my mother?
Of course. Many enquiries come from sons and daughters, including those living outside Mumbai. I'm happy to keep you updated after visits if you'd like.
Does she need to be unwell or alone?
Not at all. Some women simply enjoy regular company and conversation.
What does it cost?
Visits are charged on an hourly basis. Please get in touch and I'll share details during the initial consultation.
Do you serve areas outside South Mumbai?
My focus is South Mumbai, but nearby locations will be considered.
