About DATO

A Mumbai-born connection platform for adults who want something real — whatever that means to them.

Why we exist

Most apps blur intentions and reward endless swiping. DATO makes intentions explicit, keeps introductions curated, and moves connections into the real city safely.

Three connection modes

Date, Casual and Friends — every match and chat is clearly labelled, and changing a friendship into dating always needs both people's consent.

Safety by design

Age assurance, verification, moderation, approximate locations and free safety tools — enforced on our servers, not just in the app.

DATO is launching across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region first, with plans to grow across India.
