How Dating Apps in India Have Become Crime Epicentres
INC42 - India's online dating scene, featuring apps like Tinder, Bumble, and local platforms like Woo and Quack Quack, is booming but faces serious safety concerns. A Norton report revealed that 66% of Indian dating app users have encountered financial fraud. Incidents of honey trapping and extortion are on the rise, with victims being blackmailed for large sums. The gender imbalance on these apps exacerbates the issue, with a male-to-female ratio on Tinder India reported to be 93:1.

Indian Tech Companies Challenge Google's Billing Policy
INC42 - Several Indian tech companies and startups, including Unacademy, Kuku FM, Truly Madly, and QuackQuack, have filed petitions in the Madras High Court to challenge Google's billing policy. Google has been sending notices to digital startups, requiring them to adopt its billing policy or face removal from the Play Store. The Madras High Court will hear the matter on June 8, and it is expected that more than a dozen Indian tech companies will challenge Google's notice in the next ten days. The dispute stems from Google's user-choice billing system, which would charge a commission of 11-26% on in-app purchases, significantly impacting the profits of these startups. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) previously directed Google not to restrict app developers from using third-party billing or payment processing services, and it imposed a penalty of INR 1,337.76 Cr on Google for anti-competitive practices.

Indian Dating Apps Take on International Rivals
AFAQS - Though the end goal is the same - to find a partner, maybe get married, Indian and international dating apps are positioned distinctly. When it comes to advertising and marketing messages, Tinder and Bumble focus on the fine nuances of relationships, such as compatibility and consent. Whereas local dating apps like QuackQuack and Aisle have simpler messaging - focussing on finding a life partner. Aisle takes cheeky digs at Tinder and Bumble in its campaigns that highlight that it is not a 'casual' app at all. Tinder and Bumble tend to focus more on urban audiences. A Tier-II or III audience may not even understand the ads. 70% of QuackQuack's users now come from Tier-II and III cities, and there's an 11% increase in the app's female user base. The company has been around for 12 years now but, thanks to the smartphone boom and cheaper Internet access, it has added 10M users over the last two years alone.
