Frequently asked

Do I need a big following?

No. We'd rather have 50 ambassadors with 200 close friends each than one influencer with 200k passive followers. Word of mouth in our community beats reach every time.

What counts as a "verified business"?

Any business owner who claims their listing on DesiMela through your link, then verifies their email. The verification step is what blocks fake referrals.

How do I track my referrals?

Reply to your welcome email and we'll set up a private dashboard. Until we automate this, we update ambassadors manually each week.

Is there a leaderboard?

Not yet — we want this to be about your city, not bragging rights. The first ambassador in each city gets a "City Captain" call-out on the city home page.
