TrulyMadly
TrulyMadly is India's leading and most-trusted online matchmaking app designed specifically for the Indian subcontinent, with over 12 million registered users leveraging a proprietary verification system nicknamed 'ChowkAIdar' (meaning gatekeeper in Hindi) that combines facial recognition technology with government ID verification to create one of the industry's most rigorous anti-fraud mechanisms. The platform's trust-score system, ranging from 0-100%, reflects verification depth: facial recognition scanning earns 30%, government ID linking (Aadhaar, passport, or driver's license) adds another 30%, with additional points from phone verification and background assessment, followed by manual moderation of all profiles to reject bots and fraudulent accounts.
Founded with recognition of India's unique cultural context around matrimonial and dating services, TrulyMadly introduced swipe-style matching optimized for the Indian market while maintaining serious relationship intent, attracting users aged 20-35 seeking marriage or long-term partnerships. The app operates on a freemium model with premium features including verified match lists, advanced filtering, and messaging capabilities, generating revenue through subscriptions and in-app purchases while maintaining free core functionality for profile creation and browsing. TrulyMadly's aggressive focus on profile verification and fraud prevention reflects Indian users' preferences for security and authenticity in a market where fake profiles and catfishing have plagued mainstream dating apps.
