No trial timer, no auto-charge.

Logs retain a slim, redacted summary for debugging. ## Brand identity - Voice: considered, calm, low-pressure. Trust through evidence, not hype. - Audience: 24-38-year-old Indian and Indian-diaspora users who are seriously considering marriage. Often researching with or for their families. - Differentiation: Matrimilan is positioned BETWEEN swipe-economy dating apps and dense legacy matrimony portals (e.g. Shaadi, BharatMatrimony).

Marcellus serif for display, DM Sans for body. ## Origin - Founded: 2024 in Bengaluru, India. - Founder: Manovag. - Tagline: "You choose who you marry. Your family stays close." ## What we are NOT - Not a dating app. We don't use the word "dating" anywhere on the site by design. - Not a swipe app. There is no swipe interface. No streaks, no engagement metrics, no urgency design patterns. - Not anonymous. Every member is real-name and verified before going live. - Not maximum-volume matching. Five thoughtful matches per week, not five hundred. ## Optional further reading - [Site map](https://matrimilan.com/sitemap.xml): Full index of crawlable URLs. - [Pages sitemap](https://matrimilan.com/pages-sitemap.xml): Landing-page sub-sitemap (everything outside /blog). - [Blog sitemap](https://matrimilan.com/blog/sitemap.xml): Index of all blog posts.
