FRND is an Indian social networking and dating application designed to facilitate meaningful connections through audio-based interactions. Founded in 2017, the platform focuses on creating a safe and culturally relevant environment for users, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, by offering moderated voice chats and matchmaking features.
