The best way to know someone
is to meet them.

Our principles

Built with love,
for love

01
Safety first, always.
Face-verified profiles, public meetups, zero bots
02
One match at a time.
No parallel conversations. Beacuse you deserve undivided attention.
03
From online to offline.
Every decision we make is aimed at getting you off the app and into the real world.
04
Truth as our north star.
Our one true metric: real-life meetups. That's it.

At Smingle, we believe that the best way to get to know a person is to meet them, over a shared experience. Not through a screen. Not through weeks of texting that fizzles out.

So we built a dating app with no endless swiping, where you request a match with someone you genuinely want to meet; over a concert, a pottery class, or a sushi dinner this weekend.

We started in Bengaluru because it's a city full of people who moved here to build something great and who deserve a dating experience that respects their time and their safety.

"

Every feature we build asks one question: does this get two people closer? If not, it doesn't ship.

Our manifesto

What we believe.

01
Love is complex when thought about but simple when felt.
02
Meeting in real life is essential to truly get to know someone.
03
Nobody else can decide what's best for you.
04
Our choices are a reflection of us.
The team

The people building it.

Our mission is to spread love and connection.
