Vidhi Doshi says a 'love marriage' (as opposed to an arranged marriage) is still quite a new concept for people in India.

"Tinder has the potential to change all that because it means people are dating and finding each other in a completely new way in this place where dating is still a very difficult thing for people to talk about and to live with."
