HUMA QURESHI INVESTED IN 1ST VERNACULAR DATING APP
The Business Guardian
|July 07, 2024
Flutrr, India’s first vernacular dating app, proudly announces that acclaimed actress Huma Qureshi has recently invested in the Kolkata-based startup.
-
Co-founded in December 2021 by IIM Lucknow alumni Kaushik Banerjee and Anirban Banerjee, flutter seeks to revolutionize online dating by catering to the Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets of India. The app supports 6 Indian languages, enabling young Indians to forge meaningful relationships rooted in shared linguistic, traditional, and cultural interests.
Qureshi expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “I don’t understand tech and given my job, I haven’t had the luxury of exploring dating apps. But I took this leap because, as a woman, I understand the empowerment that comes from having the freedom to choose your life partner. I deeply admire how the founders recognized this need and are building for the desi audience. I’m excited to be part of this growth story.”
Kaushik Banerjee, Co-Founder and CEO of flutrr, emphasized the significance of this partnership: “Huma’s investment propels us toward becoming a pan-India success story from Kolkata. We’re thrilled to welcome a strong woman like Huma to the flutrr family.”
