Social League is launching in Dubai to help professionals move beyond the fast-paced, transactional nature of modern dating and networking. Social League, founded by lifestyle consultant Laaleen Sukhera, aims to create a space where accomplished individuals can form genuine in-person connections.
Described as “the antidote to swipe culture,” Social League brings together a diverse network of professionals, expats, and global travelers looking for meaningful interactions. The platform aligns with the UAE’s Year of Community, emphasizing connection, personal growth, and cultural inclusivity.
“Dubai is an amazing city, but meeting like-minded people isn’t always easy,” says Sukhera. “Like other metropolitan cities, people have grown weary of getting targeted for superficial and transactional-style relationships. Social League was created to cultivate a genuine social environment of accomplished equals, upholding connection, community, and commitment.”
The initiative caters to a socially mature audience, spanning ages 30 to 60, with a strong presence of professionals holding advanced degrees. Events range from curated social gatherings to bespoke introductions, designed to foster authentic relationships in a relaxed, engaging setting. From cocktail evenings to themed mixers and business collaborations, Social League provides opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
Beyond in-person interactions, the platform also integrates technology-driven matchmaking tools, ensuring compatibility among members. Additionally, Social League collaborates with international matchmaking agencies to connect high-caliber individuals across regions including North America, Europe, South Asia, and South Africa.
