What is Don’t Call Me Aunty (DCMA)?

Don’t Call Me Aunty is a modern matchmaking platform reimagining how South Asians find love. Instead of endless swipes or outdated biodatas, we combine AI-powered matching with friend-driven insights to create intentional, meaningful introductions.

How is it different from dating apps?

Unlike swipe-based apps that lean on appearances, DCMA focuses on personality, values, and real compatibility. Friends add short anecdotes that reveal who you are beyond a photo, and our AI turns those insights into a few thoughtful introductions. We also reflect the preferences that matter in the desi dating world — diet (e.g., vegetarian/vegan), faith, language, family expectations, geography, lifestyle goals, and more, so matches feel meaningful, not generic.

Why the name “Don’t Call Me Aunty”?

Because we’re reclaiming matchmaking from the old ways, no nosy aunties, no biodata exchanges. Just authentic, respectful, and modern introductions that put you (and your story) at the center.

What does joining the waitlist mean?

Joining the waitlist means you’ll be among the first to access our beta launch when we open in your city. We’ll notify you by email when it’s time to create your profile and invite your friends to contribute insights.

Is it free to join the waitlist?

Yes! Joining the waitlist is completely free and comes with early-access perks when we launch, such as exclusive matches and limited-edition features for early members.

When will DCMA launch?

We’re currently in our private beta phase, testing with a small group to perfect the friend-input and matching experience. Full rollout begins in 2026, starting with cities like London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai.

How do matches work?

You’ll receive a limited number of curated introductions each month. Every match is verified, intentional, and built on shared values, not just shared interests. You can accept or decline matches, and if you decline, we’ll ask why, so our AI learns your preferences and gets better over time.

Will my data and stories be private?

Absolutely. Privacy is core to our design. Only verified matches can see limited parts of your profile, and your friends’ insights are anonymized in your story, never shared directly.

Can I refer a friend to join the waitlist?

Yes! Great matches often start within great communities. Once you join, you’ll get a referral link to invite friends. The more friends you refer, the higher your spot on the waitlist.

I’m not sure I want to date right now, can I still sign up?

Of course. DCMA is about intentional connection, not pressure. Joining early means you’ll be part of shaping how modern South Asian matchmaking evolves.
