Dating that feels safe and home.
Othiri is a Kerala-founded dating platform built to solve the gender imbalance and privacy concerns of modern online dating through verified identities, human moderation, and complete personal control.
Built for Malayalis, Designed for Safety.
Online dating across South Asia often struggles with skewed gender ratios and lack of privacy. Othiri was created in Kochi to provide Malayalis—both in Kerala and across the global diaspora—with a respectful, culturally attuned alternative to superficial swipe apps.
Human Photo Moderation
Every profile photo is reviewed individually by our moderation team before it goes live.
Consent-Driven Messaging
Unsolicited direct messaging is impossible. Conversations unlock only when both people have liked each other.
Equal Access: Free Gold for Women
To promote safety and privacy, every woman joining Othiri automatically receives 3 months of Othiri Gold for free.
Instant Two-Way Blocking
Blocking someone immediately vanishes both profiles from each other's view across all feeds and search.
