After being launched in London last month, dating application
Hinge will now be available to smartphone users in India. Targetted at
professionals between 26-36 year old, the app will initially focus at
making inroads in the metros. “We are the Facebook of online dating
services. India is the second-largest market for Facebook after the US.
Also, with a rise in number of smartphone users and growing access to
internet, we believe this is the apt time to enter the Indian market,”
said Justin McLeod, CEO, Hinge.
The dating application, which has so far raised $20 million, is also
open for a strategic partnership in India. “While we do not plan to
raise any more funds at the moment, we are looking at regional
partnership that would help in building our app’s presence in the
country,” added McLeod.
Hinge, which uses Facebook to help match a person’s profile with
friends displays details such as name, workplace, education, etc.
