Meet Malayali singles who get your language, your food and your family. And before anyone reaches your screen, a person has looked at every photo on their profile and approved it by hand.
Women get three months of Othiri Gold, free. Automatic, once per person — nothing to enter and nothing to pay.
Block someone and you disappear from each other’s app. One tap, both directions, straight away.

Serious relationships need a calm place to start. Othiri is made so you stay in control — of who sees you, who talks to you, and how fast things go.
A chat opens only after you both like each other. No stranger lands in your inbox.
Before a profile goes live, a real person on our team approves each photo.
One tap and you disappear from each other’s app, straight away.
Every woman gets Othiri Gold for her first three months. Nothing to pay.
We rebuilt dating around the things Malayalis actually care about — trust, culture and conversations that lead somewhere real.
A person looks at every photo before a profile can go live. Every bio and every prompt answer is read by hand too — one at a time, because there is no approve-all button anywhere in the moderation tools.
Your conversations stay yours. Encrypted in transit, with strong community rules and one-tap block & report.
Hi! Saw you like trekking too? 🏔️
Yes! Munnar is my favourite spot.
From Kozhikode to Kochi — or Dubai to London — connect with people who get your language, food and festivals.
Join as a woman and Othiri Gold is yours for three months at no cost — automatically, once per person. It also carries more than the Gold anyone buys: 5 Spotlights a week instead of 2, 25 Super Likes instead of 10, and 120 Notes a month instead of 40.
Othiri is built for meaningful connections, not endless swiping. Find someone looking for the same thing you are.
One tap blocks, and a block works in both directions immediately — you disappear from each other's app. Report someone and you are separated the moment you tap it, then a person reads the report. Nothing here is decided by a machine.
Getting started takes minutes. Here's how Malayalis find their person on Othiri.
Sign up free and add your photos. A person reviews every photo before your profile goes live — that check is what keeps the app real.
Browse people who share your roots, language and values — nearby in Kerala, or anywhere Malayalis have ended up.
A chat only opens where you have both liked each other, and it stays between the two of you. Matching and messaging are free. One tap blocks, and a block cuts both ways at once — you disappear from each other's app.

Sample profile
Kochi · 4 km away
Every screen is built to help you focus on people, not noise. Clean, fast and genuinely enjoyable to use.
A moderator opens every photo before the profile it belongs to can go live. That is the step nothing gets past.
Prompts, interests and photos that show the real person — not just a headshot. Every one of those answers is read by a person too.
There is no thread to write into until you have both liked each other, and what you say there stays between you.
Most of what keeps this app safe is unglamorous and done by hand: a moderator opens every photo, reads every bio and every prompt answer, and decides one at a time. It is slower than the big apps and it is the reason the profiles here look like real people.
No photo reaches a live profile without a moderator approving it, and bios and prompt answers are read one at a time. There is no approve-all button.
One tap and you vanish from each other's app — their profile, their messages, all of it — in both directions at once.
Reporting separates you from them immediately. What happens to their account is then decided by a human being, never automatically.
Under-18 sign-ups are refused on the server, not just in the app. Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we never sell your data.
Everything you need to know before you download Othiri.
Free to download, free to match, free to message. A person checks every photo before a profile goes live — and if you’re a woman, three months of Othiri Gold are yours from the start, at no cost.
