VIP Shaadi

Exclusive membership costs around Rs 22K. It is for 3 months. In this, consultants reach out to prospects and share profiles on the basis of mutual interests.

Are these websites fooling people? Or anyone is getting matches and getting married through these apps. Are there fake profiles as well? And how to protect from scams. Thanks!

To all single grapeviners, how and where are you searching for life partners? To all committed/married folks, how and where did you find your life partner? I tried the AM route, but so far no such luck and really exhaustive. Thinking of going for a relationship manager in shaadi, but not sure. Anyone had any luck with the vip/elite services? Me: I am a 28M, living in Bangalore, doing well career-wise.

Okay folks, time has come, i've decided to settle down in an year. 29M, multimillionaire in USD (paper wealth 🙈). Have you had experience in with any of the apps? Which one do you think is better?

I'm having an Idea for an open source marriage app. (Not a business) Its made for youth, of youth, by youth for GenZ, Millenials who are not interested in the traditional constructs of society and is looking outside. How many viners here can come together for this project. Think of it like "The Product Folks " community but for marriage. 1. KYC Should be done only by the boys/girls. No parents/nosy relatives interference whatsoever 2. Their likes and dislikes is hidden for others on the platform until the other gender initiates a conversation with them and accepts criterias mutually. 3. It will have a bunch of mutually compatibility check sessions with feedback form for each other. 4. No AI allowed on images on the platform. 5. Fees collected from the customers would be solely for the maintenance and upgrade of the app. 6. Equal or equivalent criteria for matching guys n girls. 7. Proposing app name as Utopic !!! Would love to know the opinions of other viners . @biryanienthu I read somewhere you worked on an idea on this space and would like to know your stance/opinions/other valuable inputs on this.

Have lately been exploring switching out from Uber to early stage startups. Exploring founding engineer roles / CTO roles with people I know well The worst of it has been just the fact that our salaries are hard to match (even with Cash + ESOP, no matter what you do) Like I know you need to be okay with less cash. But I now feel that it’s such a jump down, I wonder if it makes sense. And then this feeling forever makes me averse to trying out something big, risky, bold. It’s a catch-22 situation lol

Dating apps have failed in the US. They will fail in India too. What next?

INR 10-13 lakh spent per wedding in India. Average annual household income is INR 4 lakh. Assuming 2 households spending, it's 1.2-1.5x their annual income. Assuming only the girl's family paying, it's 3x annual income. It's absurd how much people love to spend to feed and entertain the people they never want to see in their lives again. Also absurd, no big startup in this space. Why is no tech bro/gal conquering the wedding space?
