Indian language users account for nearly 75% of the country’s internet user base and 90% of them prefer to consume content in their local language. 500-million Indians speak Hindi. In terms of internet language users, Hindi is at 201M, while the other Indian languages account for 224 M. The penetration of mobile internet, coupled with falling handset prices have aided the growth of first-time mobile internet users from the smaller towns across the country. Pandemic further created the urgency for a lot of these users to start adopting digital services at a never imagined pace. While online matchmaking has seen increased adoption, it’s not to the extent witnessed in other digital services. This is due to issues with current matchmaking services in the market, like availability only in English language, complexity of product and expensive paid plans, leading to lower number of suitable profiles for these users. On top of that, these users face their own set of challenges when it comes to matchmaking that includes a handful of bride/ groom choices limited to their circle of relatives and friends and lack of other trusted sources to find matches. Jodii which is a made-for-India app attempts to solve these challenges.
