Startup Idea 2: Matrimony Matchmaking

They are busy sulking because not enough monies

60LPA blr kids are struggling in kannad for their daily commute,

Why do you say platonic friendships are need of the hour?

Because most (sensible) people are on dating apps to socialize and make new friends first, think about dating later.

Sad part of living in metro cities is you don't have many avenues to make friends as an adult. Social media platforms don't work, dating platforms don't work, random events/mixers/parties don't work either. New person in new city usually goes to Tinder/bumble/grindr to find people their age.

There is a lack of places and opportunities to meet new people and make friends these days outside of school/college or work.

Agreed and hiring is as complex. At least here both parties are willing to get into a match, hiring gets affected due to budget constraints, ghosting etc

As does matrimony. Gets affected by budget constraints, ghosting, etc.

are you looking for an interview answer - MBA, handled businesses of MRR $$$$ or an emotional heartfelt one would convince you?

P.S. If you do take this up, we got no money to pay ourselves. just highlighting

Sounds interesting enough to me. Let's chat more.

I understand there will be no money. I make and monetize (try to) side-projects too - most of them don't make any money. We'll make money if it succeeds!

Interesting observation.

But your question, we can have rating system. but some Meesho boys may want Meesho girls and rating system may skew their plans if Meesho boys meets only Myntra girls before

Really bugged me, do you have any suggestion?

One way could be having a hard toggle in UI, likes of flipkart/shopsy or mmt/mmtluxe
can think of BriyaniMatchappClassic and BiryaniMatchappProfessional
then handle remaining case in matching logic.

If branding is off you'll accumulate majority of one type it'll throw off the other, app can't have all types to offer. From layman user if
Suppose a business man starts looking in your app and only finds techie girls he'll be put off,
Or Some corporate employee sees only gharelu matches she'll quit.

But if you have dominantly only 1 type of men and 1 type of women it's better to restrict to that only rather than juggling expectations.

Pureplar matrimony app have segregated on broad demographics (iitiimshaadi/gujarati matrimony etc - these are seperate brands) that seems to work somewhat. But not truly helpful in modern context.

Can you name some

@BiryaniEnthu UnShaadi on Instagram seems to arrange dates for the purpose of marriage. But I haven’t tried due to their paid nature.
Betterhalf.ai app started claiming to have unique feature of bringing matches of psychological compatibility after having done researches on psychology and doing AI modelling and what not, and now they are selling loans as their business model!!🤦‍♂️ Even Jeevansathi shows compatibility match percentage on profile and how many hashtags interests matches with the person. But many times even 100% matching percentage match doesn’t work. Basically, nothing works in front of the traditional-liberal match that Indians want on matrimonial platforms, and also due to the highly skewed working gender ration. May be if Google, Microsoft and Apple comes together and launches some app for this, then only we can have some hope.

We are focusing on matrimony, not dating. Others have bots, parent accounts, less focus on relationships more on transaction and responsibility. Trying to change that

Most welcome, but once the prototype scales we will need to the team to expand

Hmm okay

Is this idea in market research state now?

Yes agreed , long journey

Key features: Compatibility, Standard, Verification
