The number of relationships and marital affairs that Indians have been registering on the recent decade or so has been going up at an alarming rate. Over 40 lakh Indians are now using extramarital dating apps, highlighting a significant shift in relationship trends in urban India. According to recent data from the discreet dating platform Gleeden, the number of Indian users on the app has crossed the 4 million mark, showing rapid growth in the country.

Among Indian cities, Bengaluru has emerged as the city with the highest number of users, contributing the largest share to the platform’s Indian user base. The tech driven lifestyle and large population of young professionals in the city are believed to be key factors behind this trend.

Other major cities with high user numbers include Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi, which together account for a large portion of the app’s Indian users. The data suggests that extramarital dating platforms are gaining popularity particularly in metropolitan areas where digital connectivity and private online interactions are more common.

Interestingly, women form a significant share of the app’s users. Reports indicate that over half of the platform’s Indian users are women, signaling changing perspectives on relationships and personal choices.

The majority of users fall within the 30 to 45 age group, suggesting that the platform is primarily used by married professionals seeking discreet relationships. Experts say the rise of such apps reflects changing social attitudes, growing digital privacy, and evolving relationship dynamics in modern urban India.
