<aside> 🚀 FRND enables a girl to find the right 'online date' with the help of a 'FRND RJ' (aka matchmaker). In a 5-minute 'audio-date' the RJ breaks ice between a pair. If the girl and boy like each other they can continue their chat. Backed with immense user-love and marquee investors (SAIF Partners, India Quotient), we invite you to join the juggernaut ❤️

In 2020, offline dating still has a stigma associated with it in the next billion user-base. Boys and Girls barely get an opportunity to interact with each other before college and marriage. A Boy talking to a Girl may also affect her ‘image’ in the community 🙊
Understandably, this leads to a steep gradient towards 'online chatting' to explore the territory of romance, largely free from offline social cobwebs. Difference in personality vs. traditional values also pushes the age group of 15-25 to connect with like-minded strangers online for acceptance, avoiding loneliness. Not just in India but also the Middle East, Latin America 💌
The digital world has had an inherent acceptance of 'friending strangers'. Probably because it is largely harmless. We saw it in Yahoo, Rediff, Orkut chatrooms in the 2000s and online dating apps in the 2010s. Now, we witness similar transition for the latest internet adopters aka the next billion📱
