For South Asian families

Find family through the stories we were told.

Our dadis, nanis and chachas carry generations in their voices. Who's your dadi? turns those stories — typed, recorded, or simply spoken — into a living family tree, then quietly matches you with relatives who share the same memories.

4,200+ families across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & the diaspora

How it works

Just the stories you already know.

01

Write it down

Type the story you've been told a hundred times — names, villages, songs, who married whom.

02

Or just speak

Hold up your phone while dadi talks. We transcribe her voice so the story is never lost.

03

Meet your matches

We compare names, places and details across every family's stories — quietly connecting cousins.

Why stories

Our families show up in our stories.

  • Built for South Asia.

    Names with three spellings, villages renamed at Partition, marriages across continents — we know how this works.

  • Voice-first.

    Most of what your dadi knows will never be written down. Record her. We'll transcribe it in her language.

  • Quiet matching.

    When two families' stories mention the same person, place or song — we tell you. You decide what to do next.

  • Private by default.

    Your stories are yours. Share with a single cousin, your whole clan, or no one at all.

Somewhere, a cousin is waiting to recognise your dadi's name.

Start with one story. Five minutes. That's all it takes for the archive to start matching.
