India’s first-of-its-kind matchmaking and matrimony app for second chances, Rebounce, specially built for divorced, separated, and widowed individuals, was launched in September, 2025. The app crossed 20k users in little over a month of its launch, reflecting a shift in how Indians are approaching love, remarriage, and second chances.
Rebounce’s Founder and CEO, Ravi Mittal, said,
“Seeking love after divorce or considering remarriage after loss is slowly moving away from being a taboo to a conscious and hopeful next step. The early traction of our app clearly shows that Indians are no longer stuck in the failed marriage narrative. The new generation believes in continuing to live a full and happy life, and giving love a second chance is a huge part of it.”
Casual swipes are out, high intent is in
Rebounce’s user data shows that over 53% men and 64.6% of women on the app are actively looking for marriage, not merely exploring or seeking casual dates. The data clearly indicates that second chances are pursued with more intent and purpose.
The typical age of the app’s users is early 30s, and they are noted to be more emotionally mature, seeking long-term stability, and most of them are presently navigating or dealing with the aftermath of a serious life event, such as divorce or loss of a loved one. On average, women seeking second chances are around 35 and men 31, debunking the myth that remarriage is a later-life decision and is only pursued for companionship, not romance. Data from the app also show that 8 out of 10 users are specifically looking for love, not just a marriage of convenience or company for old age.
Single parents looking for commitment
Rebounce’s consumer data provides a telling insight into the mindset of single parents. 55% of single fathers and 68% of single mothers are looking for marriage-led relationships on the app. It especially emphasizes Rebounce’s family-aware and emotionally responsible matchmaking.
Compatibility, not stigma
The data shows an interesting trend: users are not rigid about their match’s marital history, signalling a notable shift toward compatibility-first relationships and remarriages, where emotional alignment, values, and clarity matter more than labels. Even something as simple as travel compatibility is prioritized over the past experience of a match, with the numbers showing over 57% of men considering travel compatibility an important factor, and only less than 9% taking marital history into consideration while looking for the right match. The numbers also prove that users are serious about a future together.
More than success, it’s a change in mindset
Rebounce’s early success is not about the numbers; it reflects a positive shift in people’s mindset. Divorce is no longer the end, and the steady 20k signups are proof. The app shared that users look at divorce or separation as a mere pause before a better beginning.
When it comes to users seeking long-term relationships, the finding is intriguing. Men with 22.2% are more interested in an exclusive, long-term relationship than women with 16.1%. Users, men and women alike, are noted to be displaying relationship and partner-seeking patterns that stem from more clarity, lived experience, and courage to restart.
