An Entrepreneur with a Vision
Vidya Madhavan, an entrepreneur and the co-founder of the humor-based dating app Schmooze, is on a mission to make the world a more loving and humorous place. Her journey is a testament to the power of blending technology with human connection, aiming to bring laughter into the often serious realm of online dating.
A Blend of Tech and Passion
A graduate of BITS Pilani, Class of 2015, Vidya has always been passionate about networking and building connections. Her academic background in tech and project management has been instrumental in the development of Schmooze. The app uniquely blends these skills, offering users a platform where humor is the key to finding a match. It’s not just about swiping left or right; it’s about finding someone who shares your sense of humor.
Inclusivity and Unique Matches
Schmooze is designed to help users find a date to laugh with, ensuring everyone—regardless of gender or identity—finds their ideal match. The app stands out in the fast-paced world of dating by emphasizing humor and personality over mere appearances. Vidya’s vision is clear: make online dating a space where everyone can feel included, enjoy the process, and find someone who truly understands their sense of humor.
Overcoming Challenges
Transitioning from building products to building a company was a significant challenge for Vidya. The journey was filled with obstacles, but her resilience paid off. The success of Schmooze taught her a valuable lesson: failure only succeeds if you give up. Vidya’s determination and refusal to give up, even in the face of adversity, have been key to her and Schmooze’s success.
Aiming for Joy and Empowerment
Vidya’s ultimate goal is to make online dating inclusive, enjoyable, and empowering for all users. By infusing humor into the process, she aims to reduce the stress and pressure often associated with finding a match. Schmooze is not just an app; it’s a revolution in the dating world, making connections based on joy and laughter
