Tinder, the popular dating mobile application, released a ‘swipe scoreboard’ earlier this week, revealing geographical hotspots in Indian cities where users have the highest chances of finding a match.
According to the findings, the six most ‘right-swiped’ (the Tinder-term for getting accepted by other people) areas in the city are Koramangala, followed by Whitefield, HSR Layout, Jayanagar, Kalyan Nagar, and JP Nagar.
They crunched data from August and September this year in seven major cities– Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Pune. In Mumbai, Tinder has ranked Andheri West, Bandra West and Worli as the top three locations. Meanwhile, Saket, Greater-Kailash and Kamla Nagar have been ranked as the top three in Delhi.
Interestingly, most localities that made it to the list are affluent neighbourhoods and areas that are predominantly inhabited by the youth, with the presence of many malls and shopping arcades in the vicinity.
This is not the first time that the dating app has released data pertaining to India, the company’s top market in Asia with 7.5 million daily reported swipes. They had earlier revealed the most swiped jobs in India by each sex. While most women indicated their top five preferences in men with jobs titles such as pilots, actors, entrepreneurs, marketing managers, and creative writers, men were interested in women who are engineers, accountants, doctors, interior designers, and dentists.
