TL;DR VERSION:
FreeElective Network Pvt. Ltd., based in Chennai, introduced Jodi365.com—a next-generation matchmaking platform—well before the recent wave of here-today/gone-tomorrow casual dating sites and apps. Jodi365 caters exclusively to quality singles and helps them find the right partner at their own pace, whether they are ready for marriage in the near term or want to get to know someone as friends first.
We have earned much goodwill since 2011, by bringing people together. Just as important: We have a validated business model and, aided by additional funding, are growing briskly.
We are looking for a smart, enthusiastic, and organized individual to provide outstanding customer service, to address issues relating to people's use of our apps, and to demonstrate leadership within our growing support team.
