Tinder has launched new episodes of Swipe Ride. Now in its third year, the show celebrates meaningful conversations about what Indian women want from their dating lives.

Uorfi Javed episode:

As usual, social media content creator and actor, Kusha Kapila, is seen taking the driver’s seat to pick up Tinder members to meet their dates with a surprise celebrity guest as they chat about all things dating and relationships.

Co-created with film director Debbie Rao along with writer Supriya Joshi, Swipe Ride series is a product of the coming together of these women who like to call their own shots whether it's in their careers, or their dating lives.

In the currently released episode, Uorfi, Kusha and Tinder member Heeral talk about the importance of self-care in dating, self-awareness and confidence, first dates, and green flags. Uorfi chats with Heeral on her first date ever about breaking away from the age-old concept of “the one” and putting yourself out there for every kind of possibility.  

Uorfi further emphasises being your authentic fearless self, prioritising your own needs and creating a space where you love yourself first.

Uorfi said, “When it comes to dating — or, really, life — everyone’s experience is as unique as they are. If you want to be your most beautiful, authentic self, the work has to start with you. If there's one thing I was unapologetic about when I was using Tinder was that establishing contentment within yourself and your needs is essential for opening up to somebody else. This episode of the Swipe Ride series talks about the evolving culture around love and relationships, and it's amazing to see modern Indian women embracing self-love, confidence, self-belief and prioritising themselves unabashedly. Creating space for your own self and weeding out folks who don't bring that energy is a big green flag!”

“Young women today are upfront about what they want when it comes to their dating lives. They are doing so by normalising conversations around female desire, body positivity, consent and boundaries which the viewers will also get to witness on Swipe Ride. For the third season, I got a chance to witness female Tinder members be absolutely confident about their dating choices and take charge of what they want. I was more than happy to play a role in facilitating these meaningful conversations.” added Kusha Kapila.

“Swipe Ride celebrates the diverse perspectives of young Indian women and their dating journeys in a relatable context. From having open dialogues on the importance of self-care, financial freedom, dating autonomy, to showing up with confidence and freedom of choice, young women daters are being fiercely honest about and transparent about putting oneself out there for all kinds of possibilities,” said Taru Kapoor, GM, Tinder and Match Group India.
