Hindustan Times set to back multi-language dating platform fluttr

Hindustan Times is set to invest in fluttr, a dating platform designed for users across India’s linguistic diversity. The news was revealed by CEO Kaushik Banerjee in a LinkedIn post.

In his announcement, Banerjee expressed gratitude for a senior executive from Hindustan Times traveling from Delhi to discuss the investment, which he gladly accepted. He highlighted that fluttr is now supported by three major players in Indian media: Times of India, Zee Media Corporation, and Hindustan Times.

Fluttr, created by Kaushik Banerjee and his son Anirban Banerjee, operates as the first multi-language dating app aimed at connecting individuals in India's regional markets. Supporting languages such as Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, Bengali, and Hindi, it seeks to make online dating more inclusive.

The app competes with global platforms like Tinder and Bumble and recently secured nearly ₹2 crore in funding from actress Huma Qureshi and other angel investors.
