Meet the Founders
Vegpal is brought to you by two plant-powered Bostonians who were disillusioned with the status quo of vegan dating. Sravan- hailing from a vegetarian family, learned of veganism at a vegan speed dating event. While the event didn’t yield a fruitful match, a vegan seed was planted. He began to resonate with the ethics of veganism and became committed to finding a compassionate, vegan partner. Dahlia, a beloved teacher, also evolved along her vegan journey. She realized that dating a non-vegan or non-vegetarian posed its challenges- endless anti-vegan commentary, unwillingness to engage in productive discussions, the mundane jokes…..y’all get the drill.
Dating can be stressful enough without having to deal with trolls, inactive accounts, and the infrequent creeper lurking in dating apps. As a solution, Sravan with his computer-savvy background, and Dahlia with her innovative ideas and professional skills, embarked on a mission to step up the scenes of vegan dating.
Created by vegans, and with inclusivity at its core, Vegpal seeks to help fabulous vegans and vegetarians across the globe form valuable relationships.
How does Vegpal stand out from other dating apps?
Vegpal is determined to provide the user a high-quality experience. The team performs a thorough review of the application before approving members to join the space. They are dedicated to delivering an app of elevated quality that is also accessible to the everyday folk. While the app is currently free, the duo plans on offering an all-features-inclusive paid subscription at an affordable price.
“I think a default paid membership ensures that the community we curate is serious about finding their veg pal(s)! We are here to enhance the landscape of veg dating for all! It’s always been quality over quantity for us.”-Dahlia and Sravan
Creating an inclusive, global community and forging lasting relationships
Dahlia and Sravan are excited to welcome the growing veg community, which includes all gender and sexual orientations. Contrary to the majority of apps, Vegpal affords the option to select more than one gender identification for yourself and prospective matches.
“While developing the app, we were sure to talk to people in the LGBTQIA+ community and gained crucial feedback from them. We want all our members to feel represented on our platform.” -Dahlia
Users may also opt for matches within their radius, anywhere in the country, and/or throughout the world! We can also expect regular updates with new and cool features to further boost one’s experience.
Currently, Vegpal is designed as a dating app. Later this year, they plan to broaden the scope to include finding friendships, network, and meet like-minded people who share similar passions!
A perfect date exists!
For Dahlia, a day packed with joyful laughter and vegan pizza is the way to go! Sravan on the other hand enjoys a deep conversation over a plant-based meal and a trip to a farmed animal sanctuary. Wherever you are on the scale of your perfect date, Vegpal is here to help seal the deal.
Dahlia envisions Vegpal’s success as a single testimonial of a couple finding love through the app. Sravan stepped it up a notch with a whopping ambition of 100,000 lasting matches through Vegpal! We hope to see them achieve this noble goal.

I agree that a serious dating site or app is needed for vegans. I hope this one does what it claims. I am looking forward to becoming a member.
