Everything, explained

Every feature, and exactly how it works

Nothing on this page is marketing fluff — each claim below is enforced by the product itself.

Verified humans only

Government ID via DigiLocker in ~30 seconds (or instant document check), plus a selfie liveness test that becomes your first profile photo — the face you see is the face on the ID. Doctors, lawyers, CAs & architects get registry-verified profession badges. Aadhaar numbers are never stored.

No free tier = no bots

Membership is monthly: CHF 1 men · CHF 5 women · CHF 3 non-binary. It's a bot barrier, not a business model — and it's fully refundable for 24 hours, no questions asked.

The Karma Book

An AI honesty engine scores every member 0–100. It reads what people claim and checks it against what they actually do. First slip: private warning. Repeat patterns: visible flags. Honesty heals — +1 karma per 30 clean days.

Evidence, with guard-rails

See a flag on a profile? Pay CHF 0.50–1 to read the anonymized statements behind it. The flagged person learns someone looked — never who. Capped at 3/day. Fraud alerts are always free.

Say what you want

Four explicit intents: marriage, dating, casual, friendship (pick up to two). You only ever see people whose intent overlaps yours — no more mismatched expectations.

Anonymous-first chat

Start any chat with your name and photos hidden. Identities reveal only when both people consent. Block anyone instantly — you vanish from each other completely. Go unlimited any time with Sambandh Pro.

Astrology + engagement fit

Optional Vedic guna milan scored out of 36 with a per-guna breakdown, plus an engagement compatibility score from how your communication styles actually mesh.

Real moderation

Reports get a 24-hour SLA. The AI auto-files reports on harassment it detects — even before a human reports it. Warn, suspend (24 h / 7 d) or permanent ban; five reports in a week auto-escalate.

Your data, your rights

DPDP-compliant: export everything as JSON, pause without deleting, or delete with full erasure within 30 days — even your phone number becomes reusable. Verification documents self-destruct after 30 days.

The heart of Sambandh

What the Karma Book actually catches

Every 30 messages, AI reviews each person's own claims — never exposing chat content to anyone. Watch a score take its hits:

0
KARMA SCORE
Everyone starts at 100. Lies cost 2–15, manipulation up to 25, fraud up to 100. Honesty earns +1 per 30 clean days.
HIGH · −10Exclusivity lie: "You're the only one I'm talking to" — said while running four other active chats this week.
MEDIUM · −5Experience lie: "I just joined, this is all new to me" — on an account that's 90 days old.
HIGH · −15Contradiction: "I'm 28" in one chat, "I'm 32" in another, the same month. Honest changes of heart over months are explicitly not flagged.
MEDIUM · −12Love-bombing: strong emotional declarations to 3+ different people inside 30 days becomes a visible pattern flag.
CRITICAL · −100Fraud (always free to see): money requests across chats, device-sharing clusters, scripted openers — instant safety review.

Falsely flagged? Every flag is disputable with score restoration. The ladder is always warning → visible flag → review. Never instant public shaming.

Honestly? Tired of apps full of fake profiles 😅
Same. At least here everyone's ID-checked…
Ok you seem real. Want to reveal?
✦ Both agreed — identities revealed
Hi, I'm Arnav 👋
Privacy-first by design

Talk first. Reveal when both say so.

Chats can start fully anonymous — no names, no photos. The reveal needs mutual consent: one side agreeing does nothing until the other agrees too.

Real-time messaging with typing indicators and read receipts. Block anyone and you both vanish from each other — feeds, chats, everything.

No black box

A feed you can audit

Most apps hide their algorithm. Ours is public — every profile in your Discover feed is ranked by exactly this:

Trust score (verification depth)30%
Karma (honesty record)25%
Intent match20%
Distance (city centroids)15%
Astrological fit10%

Every profile also shows activity transparency — active chat counts, and how many people they've made big claims to recently.

From download to first chat

Indian mobile number, 6-digit code. No passwords, ever.

Verify identity

DigiLocker (~30 s) or document upload with instant automated checks.

Selfie liveness

FAQ

 

Does the AI read my chats?

AI analysis runs privately over your own messages to extract claims you make about yourself and conduct signals. No human reads your chats, and no chat content is ever shown to other users — only flag-level summaries (and anonymized excerpts behind a paid, rate-limited, notified reveal). Fraud detection protects everyone and is free to see.

What happens to my Aadhaar / documents?

Aadhaar numbers are never stored — DigiLocker verification keeps only a token reference. Uploaded document images are automatically deleted after 30 days. Document numbers are stored masked (XXXX-1234).

Why does the base fee differ by gender?

The monthly base fee is an anti-bot barrier calibrated to typical abuse patterns, not a revenue model. After joining, everyone is on the same footing: a daily free allowance (women, non-binary & others get the more generous 20 messages + 5 new chats/day; men 10 + 3), with the same optional Sambandh Pro (CHF 6/month, unlimited messaging) or Sambandh Max (CHF 15/month, everything) subscriptions.

Can I be flagged unfairly?

The AI is deliberately conservative (moderate-to-high confidence only), first offenses are private warnings, changes of heart over months are explicitly not contradictions, and every flag is disputable with score restoration if upheld.

Can I delete everything?

Yes — deletion erases your profile, karma, claims, likes, notifications and verifications within 30 days; your messages become "[deleted]" for the other person, and your phone number is freed for reuse. Export your data as JSON any time before that.

Ready for dating where honesty is enforced?

Verification takes ~5 minutes. Membership costs less than a coffee a month — and your first payment is refundable.
