New safety led guide puts Tinder School of Swipe microsite in focus

Tinder India is expanding its role beyond matchmaking with a new educational tool designed for young adults. Through the launch of the Tinder School of Swipe microsite, the platform is offering a structured guide to modern dating that blends practical tips with resources on boundaries, consent and emotional health.

School of Swipe is a mobile first site that walks users through the basics of profile building, reading social cues, moving from online chats to offline meetings and managing expectations. The content is aimed at young daters who are used to seeking information and reassurance online before making decisions.

The initiative draws on research conducted by youth platform Yuvaa and insights from Tinder’s relationship expert in India, Dr Chandni Tugnait. The emphasis is on making dating feel safer, more mindful and less confusing, particularly for those who are navigating apps and real world interactions at the same time.

Aditi Shorewal, communications lead for Tinder in India and Korea, said the company is continually reimagining what safe and social dating looks like for each new generation of singles. She noted that tools like School of Swipe, combined with features such as Double Date, are meant to make it easy, fun and low pressure for people to connect on their own terms.

Shorewal said exploration is central to Tinder’s identity, with every app session offering the chance to meet someone new, learn something unexpected or discover a different side of oneself. The new microsite is designed to help young daters approach each match with more awareness around safety and self respect.

Modules on the site cover themes such as mindful communication, emotional boundaries and recognising healthy versus unhealthy patterns. Interactive elements include a Red Flag Green Flag quiz, a dictionary of dating terminology and safety sections available in multiple languages to reflect India’s diversity.

Research from Yuvaa and findings from Tinder’s Modern Dating Report show that pace, communication and emotional management are recurring concerns for young users. Many lean on humour, movement, mindfulness practices or friends to cope with the stress that can come with dating.

Offline sessions conducted by Yuvaa highlighted the need for open conversations about consent, intimacy and self care. Participants expressed varied preferences, from valuing stability and routine to prioritising solo rituals and peer support systems.

Dr Tugnait notes that dating is as much about mental state as it is about emotion and attraction. When feelings and boundaries align, she says, people create space for relationships that feel natural and nourishing. She emphasises that boundaries should not be seen as rejection but as an expression of self respect.

By combining research, expert input and interactive tools, Tinder is positioning School of Swipe as a reference point for young daters who want to navigate connections with more confidence. The move underlines a wider trend in dating platforms, where safety and emotional wellbeing are becoming as important to brand perception as matches and features.
