Meet the founder
radha patel
I met my husband at a matchmaking convention. You know like on “Meet the Patels”? Yeah. That one exactly. I’m even in the background of one of the scenes (blink and you’ll miss me). All this just to tell you that I’ve been where you are and understand why you’re looking for what it is you’re looking for. I believe in people coming together to share their lives and experiences.
I founded Single to Shaadi because I’ve noticed some common themes that just kept coming up, not only with my friends and family but with many outside interactions as well. People want to get married but the current climate of “swiping” is hindering people from finding real relationships. I encourage you to let me get to know you and together we can find the match that will love, empower, support, and embrace you. I’m here to help - because, let’s face it, dating is hard. Dating within a community is even harder.
