Inspired by the Bollywood movie characters, the couple used to dupe people via dating apps.
Although the dating industry in India witnessed a steady rise ever since home-grown online dating apps were introduced roughly a decade ago, the growth post pandemic has been phenomenal.
Since so many people on the app could have different expectations, it often becomes difficult to maintain a healthy boundary for yourself.
A key differentiator setting it apart is its manual verification of profiles, to ensure that all profiles on the app are genuine. Besides matchmaking, users can try new features like 'Group Chat' and 'WE, As You Are Community' to connect with other queer users.
"We're seeing a trend of single people in India being more intentional when it comes to dating, with over half of daters surveyed indicating that they are focused on trying to find a partner that's right for them. In fact, 13 per cent of our Bumble community in India responded that they've added more steps to screen potential partners."
However, only 27 per cent of the respondents were targeted by cybercriminals and 36 per cent who contacted fraudsters managed to avoid an attack.
47 per cent of QuackQuack users nodded in the affirmation that beginning the conversation with something from the other person's profile works and it shows that they have taken the time to read and go through it.
People can also select video calling backgrounds such as a picnic in Paris, a gondola ride in Venice and a campfire under the stars, among others.
Kaur, who incidentally has featured on the popular Netflix show 'Indian Matchmaking', believes that sometimes one needs to "self-arranged" a match, taking both controls of your own destiny and finding someone on your own terms.
