Quality over quantity
Based on member feedback
How we're different
No swiping. No games. Just real people helping you meet real people who are actually looking for what you want.
Everyone is who they say they are
No catfishing. No fake profiles. No wasted time. Meet people who've been verified by real humans, just like you.
You'll meet people you'd actually want to date
Real matchmakers (not algorithms) read your profile and find people who genuinely align with what you want.
Go at your own pace
Share photos when you're ready. Meet when it feels right. You're in control of how fast things move.
We're with you the whole way
Relationship coaching, couple's events, or just someone to text when you're nervous before a third date. We've got you.
The advantages of being early
The best communities start small and intentional. Being a founding member isn't just about pricing—it's about being part of something meaningful from the start.
More personalized attention
With a thoughtfully curated member base, your matchmaker can spend meaningful time understanding exactly what you're looking for
Shape the community
Your feedback directly influences features, events, and how we grow. You're a co-creator, not just a user
Founding member pricing forever
Lock in your current rate for life. When we grow and prices increase, you'll always pay what you're paying now
Direct access to the founder
Talk directly to Yugam. No corporate walls, no support tickets—just real, responsive communication
This isn't a bug—it's a feature. You're not joining late to a crowded platform. You're building something meaningful from the ground up.
What we believe in
These aren't just promises—they're the foundation of everything we build.
Verified identities
Everyone goes through ID verification. We maintain strict standards to minimize fake profiles and catfishing.
Your privacy matters

Quality over quantity
Curated introductions, not endless swiping. We focus on finding the right person, not just anyone.
Human touch
Real matchmakers who listen to you, not just algorithms guessing what you want.

How We Match
Every match goes through our 3-step review process: compatibility assessment, values alignment check, and team discussion. We never rely on algorithms alone - every introduction is personally reviewed and approved by at least two matchmakers.
Our matchmakers participate in ongoing training and regular case discussions to continuously improve their craft.

Why I started Pinnaya
I started Pinnaya because I was exhausted by modern dating. The apps felt shallow. Blind dates were awkward. And everyone I met seemed to be going through the same thing.
After attending yet another wedding where I was the only single person in my friend group, I realized something: finding a life partner shouldn't feel this hard. Not because there aren't amazing people out there, but because we've lost the art of intentional introductions.
I wanted to create something different—a place where you're treated like a human, not a profile. Where someone actually takes the time to understand who you are and what you want. Where meeting someone special feels natural, not forced.
If you're reading this, you're probably ready for something real. Let's find it together.
