Are dating apps in India designed to make us swipe right on privilege?

From arranged matches to Tinder hook-ups: How the apps changed dating in India. When Rohini Ramnathan's husband passed away unexpectedly in , the year-old thought she'd never find love again. But two years later, Ramnathan downloaded a dating app on her phone for the first time and started swiping on potential matches.

Young, single Indians make up the second-largest market of dating app users globally, just behind the US. The top three apps in India — Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge — collectively grew by 17 per cent in January from January , according to the research firm Sensor Tower. Local Indian dating apps, like TrulyMadly and Aisle, also saw a surge in popularity, especially during the pandemic. According to Snehil Khanor, the CEO and co-founder of TrulyMadly, the app has grown to more than 8 million users, gaining more traction over the past 12 months, especially in smaller towns and cities. As the apps shift the love-game for India's million millennials, many people who live in bigger urban cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore are also juggling non-traditional dating preferences with conventional cultural expectations and pressures of Indian society.
