Yugam Jethi

Mechanical engineer turned consumer-tech founder and Founder of Pinnaya, a relationship-focused dating platform built for India. My work sits at the intersection of online dating, matchmaking, consumer behavior, trust and safety, and recommendation systems. I examine how product design, incentives, algorithms, and changing social norms shape attraction, choice, conversations, and relationship outcomes. I can contribute practitioner perspectives on India’s dating and matchmaking market, dating-app economics, Gen Z and millennial relationships, online safety and verification, premium consumer products, and building two-sided marketplaces from zero to one.
