We'll dive into the nitty-gritty of our UI/UX design journey, exploring how innovation tackled the challenges faced by Shaadi Live and transformed it into a seamless, in-app experience.

The Problem Unveiled

In the realm of online matchmaking, our users faced the daunting trio of emailers, push notifications, and phone calls, leading to fatigue and frustration.

The challenge was clear—how could we create an experience that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our users?
