And it looks like Swiggy, one of <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>’s largest online food delivery startups also believes this. Because Swiggy is assisting singles in finding their ideal date based on their food preferences, in a recently released YouTube show ‘<keyword id="15649174" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="plate-date" source="Orion">Plate Date</keyword>’. Produced by media and entertainment agency Only Much Louder (OML) Entertainment, the two-episode-long show sets up blind dates between singles, allowing them to connect with their ideal match by bonding over their order history on Swiggy. According to Tinder Year in Swipe Report 2022, young singles in India are opting for coffee dates, stand ups, picnics, and cooking as ideal dating <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/having-a-funny-bone-like-chandler-bings-could-make-you-hot-property-on-tinder/articleshow/95824855.cms">activities</a>.

Street food was also among the top 10 global interests on the dating app. ‘Plate Date’ featured one protagonist and four contenders engaging in conversations around their favorite food picks and restaurants, informs Swiggy. Swiggy shared that the show is divided into three segments - the first one was called ‘Order Order’, the second ‘Let’s Ketchup’, while the third was titled ‘Plating The Date’. With each progressing segment, the protagonist has to eliminate potential matches based on their order history and food preferences. “Rooted in an insight that hits home instantly - food connects people, ‘Plate Date’ is a fun blend of real people, real conversations, real connections,” Devarshi Shah, Sr VP and business head-Branded Content Division, <keyword id="8431297" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="oml-entertainment" source="Orion">OML Entertainment</keyword>, said. From comfort food to revenge food, first-date dishes to mid-night cravings, the show took all types of orders into account when matching people’s ‘food horoscope’, revealed Swiggy. The online delivery company plans to upload the next episode within the next week, making it a two-episode show. “Combining this love for food with dating, Swiggy created a new series called Plate Date that's exciting and relatable to millennials and <keyword id="10019652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gen-z-" source="Orion">Gen Z.</keyword> This series brings together food- loving strangers and lets them decide on who they date based on their food ordering history, and nothing else, ” Saurabh Nath, AVP - Brand Marketing, Swiggy said.

On the eve of its<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Six-ways-Youtube-made-a-difference-in-the-last-decade/articleshow/47470329.cms"> YouTube</a> Fan Fest in Mumbai, the video-sharing website made another giant announcement that will make watching videos online all the more fun for its audience. Along with its content partners Only Much Louder (OML), <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/8-best-Indian-web-only-series-of-2015/articleshow/50268799.cms">The Viral Fever </a>(<keyword id="6400882" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="TVF">TVF</keyword>), Culture Machine and Qyuki, <keyword id="10879" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="YouTube">YouTube</keyword> is all set to launch four new original properties. 

	This further proves the growth of the Indian YouTube creator community which engages millions of people every day and the fact that web is the future.
 

	First to see the light of the day will be #LaughterGames in April, which will see nine comedians launch their own web series and will feature a mix of popular and new names such as Kennith Sebastian, East India Comedy and Put Chutney. After that, Culture Machine will be launching a show called Beauty Hunt while TVF will be launching a search for the next generation of web series creators thus utilising the platform of YouTube in a two-fold way.
 Then there’s OML who will return with season 2 of its successful Comedy Hunt in the search for India’s next top comedy act and Qyuki will launch a show called Jammin’ which will feature Youtube music creators alongside popular <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> composers. 

	According to Satya Raghavan, the Head of Entertainment Content, YouTube India, the reason for this has been the unprecedented content creator revolution that the country has gone through, especially in 2015.
 

	“2015 was a breakout year for the young Youtube content creator industry that has collectively managed to break new ground by amassing millions of subscribers and a loyal fan base who have also in turns ensured that mobile has a major role to play when it came to online video composition. The audience clearly likes watching videos online, especially on YouTube and thus it just seemed like the natural way to go,” he added.
 

	With YouTube itself backing these content creators, one could hope that its breaks open gates for a whole kind of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Pretentious-Movie-Reviews-will-be-back-sooner-thanyou-think-says-comedian-Kanan-Gill/articleshow/51360663.cms">entertainment for Indians online.</a>
 

	Watching videos on Youtube just got all the more fun!
