Mason, West Chester, and a Room Full of Desi Singles. Finally.

Cincinnati's South Asian community is centered in Mason and West Chester, anchored by P&G, Kroger, and the broader corporate corridor

We're Coming to Cincinnati!

Cincinnati is on the tour list. Sign up below and help us get there! Everyone on the list gets tickets first when we announce.

Mason and West Chester have become the quiet epicenter of South Asian life in the Cincinnati metro. Procter & Gamble, Kroger, and the broader corporate scene have drawn Indian professionals to the area for years, and the community has put down roots. Temples, grocery stores, weekend language schools. The infrastructure is there. What's missing is a social scene for single people that doesn't feel like a corporate mixer or an aunty's living room.

The format from New York: real contestants go on live dates on stage while a packed room watches, reacts, and picks favorites. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. In Cincinnati, where the South Asian community is concentrated but spread across the northern suburbs, this format creates the convergence the city needs.

Cincinnati's South Asian population is concentrated but spread across the northern suburbs. Blue Ash, West Chester, Mason, Liberty Township. Everyone drives everywhere, which means organic run-ins are rare. You're not bumping into someone cute on the subway here. This show gives you a reason to be in the same room as other single South Asians on the same night.

We're building the Cincinnati waitlist. Waitlist gets first access when we announce a date. If you want to go on a live date on stage in the Queen City, apply below.

Cincinnati's desi corporate class needs a third place

P&G and Kroger built Cincinnati's South Asian professional base and the northern suburbs housed it: Mason, West Chester and Blue Ash run deep with desi families, weekend cricket and some of the best Indian food between Chicago and Atlanta. For the single professionals inside that ecosystem, life is work, gym and community events where everyone asks about your marriage timeline. There is no third place where being single is the point.

We build third places for a living. One night at a time, with a stage and a bar involved.

What a Garam Masala night in Cincinnati looks like

A P&G brand manager and a UC med resident who have never met, on stage, going on a first date while a room from OTR to West Chester votes live. Comedian hosts, real chaos and a mixer where the chili debate does more icebreaking than any app prompt ever has.
