ABOUT KANDHAA
Built from heartbreak.
Made for healing.
Kandhaa exists for the chapter between losing someone and loving again — the messy, quiet, in-between most apps ignore.
— OUR STORY
We started Kandhaa because
we'd been there ourselves.
After a breakup, the world hands you two options — swipe through strangers on dating apps before you're ready, or pretend you're whole enough for matrimony sites that ask about your "marriage timeline." Neither felt right.
So we built the chapter that was missing.
Kandhaa is an emotion-first platform for people who are healing, rebuilding, and slowly learning to trust again. Whether that journey ends in friendship, love, or just feeling less alone — every path here is valid.
Healing isn't linear. But together, it's lighter.
In India, heartbreak is a conversation we don't have.
We're told to "move on quickly," to "not dwell," to find someone new before the wound closes. But healing doesn't work on a timeline — and forcing connection on broken ground only breaks it further.
Kandhaa is the space we wished existed when we needed it most. A place where:
— OUR VALUES —
Trust
Every interaction is built on emotional safety. No bots, no fakes, no pressure.
Anonymity
Share your story without exposure. Show your face when you're ready.
Authenticity
Emotion-first profiles. No curated highlight reels, no performative happiness.
Healing
We support recovery, not just matching. Connection is the outcome, not the entry.

Shikha Singh
Head of Kandhaa
Some people write stories. Shikha listens for them first.
A story writer and relationship influencer by profession, Shikha has spent years hearing what people rarely say out loud: the heartbreak they hide, the loneliness they joke about, and the quiet hope that someone will understand them.
Today, she leads Kandhaa. She shapes how the platform speaks, feels, and grows — and she guides the community with care. She makes sure every feature, message, and conversation stays honest, gentle, and human.
When she's not leading Kandhaa, Shikha writes about love, loss, and the in-between, and talks openly with her audience about relationships.
“Every heart has a story. Kandhaa is where it finally gets heard.— Shikha
Abhinandan Kumar
Founder & Owner
Kandhaa began with Abhinandan's own heartbreak. After a breakup, he found he had nowhere real to turn. Mental health apps felt clinical, dating apps felt cruel, and matrimony sites felt premature. So he built the place he wished he'd had.
Today, he works behind the scenes on marketing, growth, and business strategy, so Kandhaa can keep its focus on what matters most: the people who come here to heal.
“Kandhaa isn't an app. It's a shoulder. And everyone deserves one.— Abhinandan
— OUR MISSION
To make sure no one in India has to heal alone.
To build a generation that doesn't rush past their grief — but moves through it, with people who understand.
To prove that the most honest connections are the ones built on shared vulnerability, not shared interests.
To create a world where emotional healing is respected, vulnerability is valued, and no one heals alone.
— YOUR SHOULDER IS WAITING —
You don't have to go through this alone.
