Sent off in 2020, Glii centers around wellbeing, something rival applications like Tinder and Grindr have neglected to address. “There are a many individuals in the LGBTQ+ people group in India who wind up gathering some unacceptable individual on these dating applications,” Kaushik tells indianexpress.com over a Zoom call.
Applications like Grindr, with north of 13 million month to month clients around the world, were at first pitched as stages where strange men could interface. Be that as it may, of late, there has been a flood in instances of double-dealing on these applications.
While stages like Grindr might furnish gay men with brief help from their tension and depression, the stage has been seen 100% of the time as a relaxed dating site. Obviously, there have additionally been situations where clients have made a certifiable association that has transformed into a committed relationship.
According to glii, Kaushik, is for the individuals who are truly searching for a companion or relationship. “We are giving you a match, we are giving you a café,” he adds.

When you get a match, you can book an eatery on the Glii application, and meet in a “protected” spot. Rather than welcoming a more peculiar home or consenting to go to his place, meeting at a café offers both an opportunity to sort out assuming there is science prior to taking it to a higher level.
