Keep Austin Weird. Keep Austin Desi. We're Coming.

Austin has been absorbing South Asian tech workers at a ridiculous pace. The same Bay Area to Austin pipeline that brought every other tech company to town also brought thousands of Indian engineers, product managers, and founders. Add in UT's massive South Asian student body and the Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville suburban expansion, and you've got a desi community that's young, growing, and genuinely wondering where to meet people.

The show that runs in New York: real contestants go on live dates on stage while a packed room watches, reacts, and picks favorites. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. It's the opposite of swiping on your couch while your roommate watches Love Is Blind in the background. Austin's tech crowd would eat this up.

Austin's social scene is legendary for music, food, and nightlife. What it's not legendary for is creating spaces where South Asian singles can actually find each other. The community is here but scattered. Sixth Street is not where you're going to meet your future South Asian partner. Domain Northside happy hours are fine but not exactly optimized for romantic connection.

We're building the Austin waitlist. UT students, tech transplants, anyone who moved here in the last three years and still hasn't found their person. Get on the list for first access, or apply to be a contestant below.

Keep Austin weird, sure. But also keep Austin desi. We're coming.
