Tinder India puts ‘Conversations on Consent’ front and centre

Tinder, a popular app for meeting new people, has launched a new initiative to encourage conversations on consent in partnership with Yuvaa and Pink Legal. An interactive resource centre www.letstalkconsent.com, built by subject matter experts, has been launched for India. And will be followed up with powerful personal anecdotes and stories by advocates that will be unveiled over the next few weeks on Tinder’s social channels.

Tinder India puts ‘Conversations on Consent

Tinder has unveiled a host of safety features over the last two years and recently introduced a dedicated in-app Safety Center for its members in India. That includes a Consent 101 section. The ‘Conversations on Consent’ initiative is an extension of these resources meant to encourage a culture of consent in the community. With the letstalkconsent guide brought to you by Yuvaa and Pink Legal containing information on the meaning of consent. Navigating consent across stages of a relationship, how to ask and give consent as well as the nuance of withdrawing consent. It also includes frequently asked questions on the topic by Tinder members. Advice on steps to take in the event your consent was breached, what the law says about it and how to substantiate a breach. The guide lists helplines, community pages and experts to reach out to for more support.

To add,

The pandemic has prompted people, including Tinder members, to be more introspective, leading to online interactions and personal portrayal becoming honest and authentic as stated in Tinder’s Future of Dating Report, released earlier this year. It brought up more discussions of personal boundaries and initiated conversations about consent within the app. Tinder members used their bios to make their expectations clear: the word ‘boundaries’ is being used more than ever (up 28%* year on year), and the term ‘consent’ rose 21%. A global survey of 18 – 24 olds in 2020 by Tinder highlighted Gen Z felt consent was a topic that needed more conversations within society.

“Consent is key in all interpersonal relationships. As the largest dating app foundationally built on consent, we intend to be a strong ally in promoting the need to have an open, honest and compassionate conversation,” said Taru Kapoor, GM, Tinder & Match Group, India, “This initiative builds on the safety products and resources that are available on Tinder and reaches out to the community with a mission to build a safer dating culture and a respectful member ecosystem  with a conversation series .”

Tinder India puts ‘Conversations on Consent

Further

Kevin Lee, Editor in Chief, Yuvaa stated, “Growing up, young people in India haven’t been encouraged to communicate openly about personal boundaries especially around dating, sex and relationships. Much of this conditioning comes from our sex education in school (or lack thereof), but whatever the reason may be, as the love stories of young India move more online than offline, it’s more important than ever to understand how to navigate consent. Through this partnership with Tinder, we’re trying to teach everyone what consent is without shaming or judging them for having ‘basic’ questions, and hope that we’re helping foster more respectful, enthusiastic connections and relationships.”

“We are thrilled to associate with Tinder to create this much-needed resource centre. When a platform like Tinder spreads awareness about consent, it helps the youth realise that consent is sexy. It is not awkward and certainly not a taboo. I would encourage people to go through the resource center, which is housed with answers to all your questions about consent and its legal boundaries. Use the Swipe feature to your heart’s content, but with consent!” shared Advocate Manasi Chaudhari, Founder and CEO, Pink Legal.

Also,

Built on the premise of mutual consent, Tinder changed the way people made new connections with the introduction of the double opt-in Swipe feature and other features that provided members complete control over who they interacted with, setting the pace and intent of each interaction while reserving the right to withdraw consent at any time. Many of the features have now become the standard for the industry as daters overwhelmingly value the choice, control and agency that Tinder brought to them, not always available in the physical world. Tinder’s new initiative is a step forward to educate and normalise conversations in the community around understanding consent, appreciating personal boundaries and challenging assumption

With cutting-edge technology that allows users to create a personalised playlist. Reflecting their mood and vibe, the app offers a uniquely immersive listening experience. Founded by Artificial Intelligence expert Peter Berg Steffensen and music producer Mikael Henderson, Moodagent creates a benchmark. In offering artists access to a new fan base while allowing individuals to discover new music. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark the launch into India is part of Moodagent’s expansion into Asia Pacific following success in Europe and Australia.

We understand that we exist only because of the great art. That these musicians create. And feel it is our duty and honor to help them create a meaningful connection with an ever-increasing number of new fans.” Says George Howard, Chief Marketing Officer, Moodagent on bringing the Moodagent experience to India.

Moodagent

MUSIC MADE PERSONAL

Moodagent users can start listening by simply selecting a song, artist or mood. And let the app’s patented core technology – which combines artificial intelligence with in-depth audio analysis and tens of thousands of hours of human musicology – create a dynamic, personalised playlist. By analysing key characteristics in songs, including emotions, moods, genres, instruments, vocal styles. And more, Moodagent is able to better understand both the individual songs and how they relate to other songs and artists, as well as the user’s listening preferences. Ultimately offering more precise and personalised music recommendations.

In addition to more common streaming platform features, the Moodagent app introduces a set of mood sliders – Sensual, Tender, Happy, Angry, Tempo. That can be adjusted to change the tone and vibe of the playlist, keeping in mind that emotions or preferences are rarely static nor can they be described in absolute terms. The technology uses this dynamic user input to make sure playlists. Always match the user’s mood or situation, even as they change. The effectiveness of the app’s music data model reflects in its ability to analyse seemingly unconnected artists. Genres or mood mixes to recognise a pattern and flow that promises an experience as unique as the user’s music sensibilities.

INTERACTIVE MUSIC DISCOVERY

Moodagent strives to offer a simple, fun and interactive discovery experience by introducing new songs and artists. That seamlessly integrate into one’s playlist and by extension, life. This

way of effortlessly letting both casual and passionate listeners expand what they listen to is at the heart of Moodagent’s mission; to connect artists and listeners who may have otherwise

never intersected.

Moodagent users will also find a library for offline listening, the ability to import their music collections. From other streaming services, options for social sharing, and sections with editorial recommendations and pre-built playlists for inspiration.

The Moodagent India office will be led out of New Delhi and Mumbai. Headed by Jyoti Handa as the Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Moodagent India.

“The pandemic has redefined the listening space in India taking it well on its way to becoming one of the world’s leading music markets and we definitely see the launch of Moodagent fortifying that positioning. Moodagent is well poised to revolutionize the music industry with our technology at the centre of it all. Our innovation understands that our moods are dynamic and need to be catered to in individual ways. At Moodagent, we endeavour to understand each user, transfer the power back to their fingertips and empower them to discover new artists and inspire others to do the same through sharing with a like-minded community.” Jyoti Handa, Executive Vice President & Managing Director, Moodagent India, shared his excitement on the launch of the app.

Moodagent’s Premium service is now available at a monthly subscription of Rs.119/- per month with a free trial of 14 days.
