Stop choosing between tradition and modern dating
milni brings together South Asians who want meaningful connections that honor their heritage without sacrificing their independence.
South Asians are forced to choose between tradition and modern dating
Existing dating apps ignore South Asian family dynamics and cultural values, forcing users to navigate dating in isolation from their heritage.
Young South Asians want family involvement but also personal privacy and control—no platform offers both.
Traditional matchmaking lacks privacy, while modern apps exclude family entirely. There's no middle ground with proper controls.
Apps focus on superficial attraction rather than deep compatibility, shared values, and long-term potential that matter in our culture.
A massive, underserved South Asian market
8.5M+ South Asians across major English-speaking markets represent a $680M+ addressable market opportunity
We're not just another dating app—we truly understand South Asian culture
Connect with matches who truly understand and share your South Asian heritage, values, and traditions—without sacrificing independence.
Parents can supplement your profile with family background and values, and bump profiles by liking or superliking—but you decide what shows on your profile.
You decide who sees what. Your messages stay private, and you set all the boundaries for your profile visibility and family involvement.
Our intelligent algorithm factors in family preferences and cultural compatibility, creating meaningful matches based on shared values and long-term potential.
