Bengaluru Emerges as Top User Base for India's Extra-Marital App Users, Gleeden Surpasses 4 Million User Milestone

Gleeden Surpasses 4 Million Users in India, with Bengaluru Emerging as Leading City

Bengaluru has emerged as the leading city for users of Gleeden, a platform for extramarital affairs, as the app crossed a major milestone of 4 million users in India. This achievement underlines shifting relationship dynamics in urban centres, where individuals are increasingly seeking companionship and personal fulfilment outside conventional setups.

According to reports, Bengaluru alone accounts for 18% of Gleeden's total Indian user base, making it the top contributor. The city is followed closely by Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune, highlighting how metro cities continue to dominate the platform's growth. At the same time, Gleeden noted a steady rise in users from tier-2 cities, pointing to a wider cultural shift beyond just India's biggest urban hubs.

The platform, which positions itself as a space for private and discreet dating, attributes its rapid expansion to changing attitudes towards companionship and personal fulfilment. Most of its users are married or in long-term relationships, indicating that the app caters to individuals seeking emotional connections outside conventional setups. This trend suggests that urban India is silently seeking relationships that they would like to hide from their closed ones, as Gleeden calls itself a 'discreet' app.
