A note from our Founder, Yugam Jethi
This letter marks the moment Pinnaya chose to become something more—and lays out what this journey means for the future.
Dear fellow members,
I started Pinnaya not to build another dating app, but to solve a problem I've witnessed too many times: meaningful connections have become commoditized. In a world of swipes and algorithms, we've lost the art of intentional relationship-building.
I remember conversations with friends—successful professionals, ambitious individuals—who felt exhausted by the dating landscape. They weren't looking for more options; they were looking for the right option. They wanted authenticity in a world of curated profiles, depth in a culture of superficiality, and intention in a sea of casual connections.
That's when the idea for Pinnaya was born.
“Pinnaya isn't just a platform. It's a commitment to doing things differently.”
We built Pinnaya on three core principles:
- •Verification over volume: Every member is verified. We prioritize trust and authenticity over user growth metrics.
- •Human connection over algorithms: Our matchmaking agents curate connections based on values, not just data points.
- •Long-term support over quick matches: We're here for your entire journey, from first hello to lasting partnership.
This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. We've had the privilege of facilitating hundreds of meaningful connections. Members tell us they feel safer, more understood, and more hopeful about finding their person.
But we're just beginning.
As we grow, we remain committed to our founding principles. We'll never compromise on verification. We'll never replace human judgment with pure automation. We'll never prioritize growth over member wellbeing.
Pinnaya exists because meaningful relationships matter. They're the foundation of fulfilling lives, strong families, and thriving communities. We're honored to play a small part in helping people find theirs.
To everyone who has trusted us with their journey—thank you. Your stories inspire us every day to keep building something worthy of your trust.
With gratitude,Yugam Jethi
