The service is available on the Android app.
Of the projected population of 8.5 crores in Tamil Nadu and a literacy rate of over 80%, there are over 53M internet users in Tamil Nadu alone. The penetration of mobile internet, coupled with falling handset prices have aided the growth of first-time mobile internet users from the smaller towns across the state. Pandemic further created the urgency for a lot of these users to start adopting digital services at a never imagined pace.
While online matchmaking has seen increased adoption, it’s not to the extent witnessed in other digital services. This is due to issues with current matchmaking options in the market like language barrier and complexity of product, leading to lower number of suitable profiles for these users.
On top of that, these users face their own set of challenges when it comes to matchmaking that includes a handful of bride/ groom choices limited to their circle of relatives, friends and marriage brokers. Jodii which is a made-for-India app attempts to solve these challenges.

We’re also empowering women to make decisions that can positively impact their life.”He elaborated saying, “We have seen that on TamilMatrimony, common people like factory workers, technicians, sales men and sales girls, delivery executives, tele-callers and supervisors get lower response.
