The News Minute | January 22, 2015 | 10:35 am ISTQupid, an Indian application for couples, which aims at building strong relationships in today’s hectic world, is slowly gaining popularity With valentine's day less than a month away, the app provides them a private space which only the couple can access. Lovers can connect easily on Qupid while those, who are single can try their luck by sending invitations to their crush.Qaiser Malik, the 19 year old behind this app said, "The idea originated through our realization that a personal space for couple is needed as all other communication apps have multiple users.There are similar apps available for this purpose but an app developed with a focus on Indian users was missing."Qupid also gives couples an option to break-up. The application ensures high security to user data  as there is an in-built app lock and once the user deletes the account, their whole data is automatically erased.Qupid was launched in India in October 2014 and within a week it was made available for international users as well. To take plans ahead, Qaiser and his team is looking to raise a capital investment of one crore in the next five to seven months for funding new versions and updates of the app.Read the detailed story here.TweetFollow @thenewsminute
