Can you imagine that we’re well into February already? With Valentine’s Day just round the corner, we want to take a look at companies that are in the business of love - dating agencies and applications. 

Our guest for today is the Chief Cupid at Lunch Actually Group, which is one of Asia’s leading lunch dating companies. The company said it has arranged over 150,000 dates and matched thousands of happily married couples. 

But love aside - we talk about money and business on Under the Radar. And we want to find out how the demand for dating services have changed as a result of changing societal expectations, and how the mix of supply of available singles would affect Lunch Actually product-price mix and cost of customer acquisition. 

On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter sat down with Violet Lim, CEO and Co-founder of Lunch Actually Group for more.
