"It’s critical to be authentic about who you are and what matters to you in order to forge a meaningful connection. Lockdown restrictions and social distancing norms have had a seismic impact on our dating priorities and choices when it comes to who, when, and how we want to date in the last two years. 2022 appears to be the year when people want to date in the way that is most comfortable for them, without making any compromises." Bumble’s India Communications Director, Samarpita Samaddar, commented.
