Manipal
End Point Sunsets, Library Crushes, and No Way to Meet Them
Manipal has a vibrant singles scene waiting for a proper live dating event
Waitlist signups determine where we announce next.
Manipal is one of India’s most unique college towns. Manipal Academy of Higher Education draws students from every state and a dozen countries. The entire town revolves around the university, which means the dating pool is concentrated, young, and turns over every few years. End Point, Manipal Lake, and the strip of restaurants and cafes are where everyone ends up.
The format from New York: real contestants go on live dates on stage while the room watches and reacts. Afterward, the whole crowd mingles. Manipal has the audience, the comedy infrastructure, and the appetite for live entertainment. This is the show that fills the gap between the apps and the aunty network.
The Manipal experience is defined by being in a small town with a big student population. Everyone’s social circle overlaps. The dating dynamics are intense because the world is small. A show that makes the whole thing public, funny, and intentional is the release valve this crowd needs.
Waitlist is open. Manipal, or apply to be a contestant.
