As we had been reporting in the recent past, the dating culture is increasingly becoming evident in the Indian subcontinent, and we are hearing multiple cases of cheating and affairs. Here is allocate the current of numbers that are being displayed by leading dating sites and that paint a picture of what is happening.

Gleeden, a dating app for married people looking for discreet relationships, has become very popular in India. The platform now has more than 3 million users, showing a 270% growth in 2024 alone.

One of the most striking facts is the rise of women users. Their numbers increased by 128%, and today women make up 58% of Gleeden’s members.

Most users are between the ages of 30 and 45. Big cities lead the numbers: Bengaluru has 20%, followed by Mumbai (19%), Kolkata (18%), and Delhi (15%).

However, Gleeden is also growing in smaller cities like Bhopal, Vadodara, and Kochi. Around 40% of users spend nearly 45 minutes a day on the app, which shows how active they are.

Gleefen, launched in India in 2017, has built its image as a women-centric app where women can use it for free, while men pay. This model has helped create a respectful and balanced space. The company now aims to grow further and reach 5 million users in the near future.
