Being in a relationship requires a lot of work. While some take the effort, others often give up and rely on finding comfort in other aspects of their life. However, a new survey has made startling revelations, that not only lurk among us but showcase how Indians perceive relationships today.
The survey conducted by the app Gleeden across the country dived into the constantly changing status of relationships, focusing on how Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X individuals feel about love and marriage.
This is the third survey of its kind that has been conducted by IPSOS, on behalf of Gleeden and focuses on love, marriage, and infidelity trends among three generations who have deeply embedded India’s socio-cultural thinking in themselves.
The survey was conducted among 1,510 individuals, both men and women, who are aged between 18-60 years and living in 12 tier-1 Indian cities (Delhi, Jaipur, Ludhiana, Kolkata, Patna, Guwahati, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Indore, Bangalore, Hyderabad & Kochi), and tier-2 cities (Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Gurugram, Indore, Noida, Surat, Nagpur, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal).
“Indians of all ages are beginning to challenge tradition and seek relationships that fit their changing emotional realities. As the conversations around love, intimacy, and loyalty are changing.” says Sybil Shiddell, country manager for the app in India.
