Hitchh offers relationship counseling, speed dating and blind dates as well as offline events that help people meet in a stress-free environment. “If we organise a blind date, we take care of the verification and try our very best to set up meetings between like-minded people,” says Singh.

People still can’t chat online on Hitchh since a part of the site is under construction, but everything will be in place by January. Meanwhile Singh and Ghai are planning singles events in cities like Chandigarh and Bangalore. They have some practical advice to give out to singletons: “If you feel absolutely nothing after a 20 minute conversation with a prospective date, don’t waste time. Move on, there’s somebody better out there.”
