It began with the best intentions, but soon ran into some trouble over its choice of venue. The MeToo: Mumbai Chapter, a movement aimed at bringing like-minded women together to talk about their own experiences and to, maybe, even effect change, chose Gallery Maskara in Colaba as the venue for its November 4 meet-up. However, after an angry post by Divya Kandukuri, a freelance journalist, who asked if the venue would attract only "fancy south Bombay beach house butterflies", the meet-up location is now likely to be changed.

The MeToo: Mumbai Chapter was started on Facebook by three city women, Nikita Bhasin Anand, a writer; Shweta Srinivasan, a psychologist; and Sukhnidh Kaur, a student, in response to the informal Delhi meet-up organised at Lodhi Garden on October 21 by Anoo Bhuyan, a journalist with The Wire. The group had quickly attracted 80 members.
