Knot.dating is a transformed incarnation of Hood, a once-pseudonymous social platform, now reborn as a private, AI-powered matchmaking experience that allows accomplished individuals to connect meaningfully and pursue serious, lifelong relationships with confidence and discretion.
India, with an average age of 27 and a population of 1.5 billion, has nearly 300-400 million people in the marriageable age group. Unlike the earlier era of arranged marriages, today’s Gen Z in Tier 1 India seeks deeper understanding and value alignment before committing. However, they also don’t resonate with the casual swiping culture of Western dating apps. Knot Dating sits at this unique intersection, not Tinder, not Shaadi.com, enabling individuals to find life partners on their own terms. The founders bring proven experience in building at scale. With AI advancements, Knot can go beyond surface-level attributes to match individuals on intent, values, and deeper personality traits, creating more meaningful connections.
