I’m Layak Singh, CEO at real time online dating app COGXIO. AMA!

Hi Tech in Asia community!
I’m Layak Singh (@lsvimal), CEO at COGXIO.COM (we pivoted from dateIITians.com), alumni from IIT Kharagpur, and a long-time reader of Tech in Asia.
I have been working in this sector for the last 3 years and have good knowledge in this sector. Prior to COGXIO, I founded an education startup called ‘eStudyCorner’ and then founded dateIITians which had 5 million visits in 3 months, and tens of thousands of verified registered users.
I am a writer and a foodie too 😀
You can literally ask me anything, but some topics I’m particularly happy to talk about include:
- How is the Indian dating market evolving?
- Entrepreneurship and founding a startup
- Why are Indian consumers different from others?
- How will the education sector evolve in India, and expectations in the next few years?
- Why I’m obsessed with mobile messaging services
- Why is startup ecosystem in Bangalore booming?
- Why won’t matchmaking algorithms work?
Let’s do this!
