Collecting demand

Waitlist signups determine where we announce next.

Troy, Michigan is one of the most Indian suburbs in America, and if you grew up there you already know that. You also know that dating within the community here means either getting set up by someone's mom or running into the same twelve people at every garba and Diwali party. Canton, Novi, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield. The desi footprint in metro Detroit is massive, but the social infrastructure for single people is basically nonexistent.

The show that runs in New York is changing that. Real contestants go on live dates on stage while a packed room watches, reacts, and picks favorites. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. It's loud, it's fun, and nobody has to pretend they're not there to meet someone. Metro Detroit's desi community is overdue for this.

The Detroit metro desi community is heavily professional. Automotive engineers, healthcare workers, tech folks who chose Michigan over the coasts. There are also UMich grads who stuck around and Wayne State students who never left. The common thread is that everyone knows the community is here, but there's no single event that brings all the single people together in one place.

That's what this is. We're building the Detroit area waitlist now. When we announce a show, the waitlist gets priority. Apply below if you want to be a contestant when we come to town.

And yes, we'll probably do the show somewhere between Troy and downtown. We know nobody wants to drive to the other side of the metro on a weeknight.
