Expert Talks, Podcasts & Workshops on Modern Relationships
I am frequently invited to speak at institutions like IIM and literature festivals to decode the chaos of modern dating. Here is a look at my sessions and media appearances where we move beyond the apps to discuss the reality of finding a partner.
After my session on dating markets at IIM Bangalore, I had a fascinating conversation with professors and students about how parents can better connect with their Gen Z kids. It's all about bridging the gap and fostering human connection across generations.

In this 2024 recap with fellow matchmaker Radha Patel, we discuss the biggest trends in dating, including the rise of "slow dating" and curated singles events. We explore how moving beyond quantitative filters to focus on the 'feeling' you want is the future of dating.

Here I am at a live 'Relationshit Advice' show, speaking with the hosts about my work in dating and relationships. It's always great to engage with a live audience and talk about the realities of modern love.
I was a guest on the 'Happily Whatever After' podcast to talk about "Decoding Dating to Get Married." We discussed the biggest problems singles face today and I shared some of my top dating tips for the marriage-minded audience.
About this collection
When I stand in front of a lecture hall at IIM or hop on a podcast, the first thing I tell people is to stop looking for a 6-foot-something finance guy. We spend hours debating algorithms, but we rarely talk about the actual feeling you want to arrive at in a partnership. My talks are not about dating hacks; they are about the psychology of connection and why your superficial must-haves might be keeping you single.
Dating today often feels like a full-time job. Between managing expectations and dealing with app fatigue, many of us have lost sight of why we are looking for a partner in the first place. My workshops and podcast appearances, whether at the Kerala Literature Festival or guest lectures at IIM Bangalore, focus on dismantling these patterns.
Why I Speak on These Topics
I do not offer generic advice. When I analyze dating markets, I look at the intersection of psychology, sociology, and market design. We discuss why 'slow dating' works better than swiping, how to communicate your deal-breakers without being aggressive, and why your digital profile might be misrepresenting your actual vibe.
Core Themes in My Sessions
- Beyond the Filter: We stop focusing on quantitative stats like height or income and start identifying the qualitative feelings you want in a relationship.
- Bridging the Gap: I often facilitate conversations between different generations, helping parents understand Gen Z dating and helping singles navigate the expectations of older family members.
- Authenticity over Performance: We talk about how to present your true self online. If you are vegan, child-free, or sober-curious, we discuss how to own that identity so you attract the right people, not just any people.
These sessions are designed for marriage-minded professionals who are tired of the games. If you have listened to my podcast features or attended a masterclass, you know I prioritize honesty over polish. It is time to treat your love life with the same strategy and intentionality you bring to your career.
