I found TDC on LinkedIn. Oendrila talking about dating with intention in your 30s. I'm a founder; I'd been on so many fundamentally misaligned dates, and it was a drain. My first call with Oendrila lasted two and a half hours, and it wasn't a checklist call. She kept coaching me to keep an open mind, I'm Tamilian, biased toward South Indians. My fiancé is Malayali, Christian, undergrad only, an entrepreneur. Someone I'd never have met with my old filters. But he's been the best match for me, our connection, our families, who we are.
Joining TDC has been great, I found a friend in my matchmaker, Shreya. I was so frustrated with matrimonial apps that I'd almost given up on finding someone. Then I saw TDC's reels about values and how a date should feel, not a checklist. Shreya took over everything, and the confidence she gave me changed a lot. Sometimes a third perspective shapes your life for the better.
I've been on a lot of matchmaking platforms. My parents were leading the search, mostly within our community, and there was always a mismatch, men who didn't understand my ambitions or lifestyle. TDC actually gets to know you: your personality, goals, thinking process. Shreya understood me and sent thoughtful, well-curated matches, she even speaks to the guy first. It's not just matching resumes and pictures.
After my divorce, I'd been out of the dating world for over a decade, I genuinely didn't know how to begin again. What struck me about TDC was the empathy: no caste filters, no inherited boundaries, just a belief in kindness and love. It felt like handing the wheel to an experienced crew while I stayed captain of my own ship. My wedding is fixed for November.
I was tired of the chaos on matrimonial apps, and stuck on the idea that my partner had to live in NCR. Oendrila helped me rethink what truly mattered, shared values, emotional alignment. Within months, I met someone in Singapore, and everything just clicked. We married six months later. TDC helped me unlearn the old ways of choosing.
Finding a partner needed daily effort, filtering, messaging, following up and I couldn't keep up alongside work. I came to TDC through an acquaintance, honestly skeptical. But one conversation with Oendrila, the depth she went into about me, my family, my environment, half convinced me. What won me over was the follow-through: honest feedback after every interaction. Less a service, more an experienced friend in your corner.

When I found my match through The Date Crew, everything felt right, until my father suddenly changed his mind. He was worried about our differences and refused to move forward. That’s when my matchmaker (Rakshitha) stepped in. She spoke to him directly, and patiently helped him see the person behind the profile: someone kind, steady, and genuinely good for me. She didn’t argue or push; she reasoned with warmth and empathy. He called me the next day and said, “I understand now.”
Today, we’re married, and every time I think about that moment, I feel grateful. The Date Crew didn’t just help me find my partner; they stood by me when it mattered most.

When I joined The Date Crew, I was honestly burning out. I was meeting new people almost every week, hoping something would click, but all it led to was frustration. I kept confusing quantity for progress. Every rejection felt heavier than the last, and I was starting to lose hope. TDC helped me slow down and rethink my entire approach. They taught me to focus on connection instead of checklists, to have deeper conversations instead of rushing to conclusions. I started showing up differently: calmer, more curious, and actually present. A few months later, I met someone who shared my values and pace. We got engaged within six months, and today, I’m happily married. Working with TDC changed everything; not just how I dated, but how I understood partnership.

What I really lacked was consistency. I’d get excited for a week and then disappear. My matchmaker didn’t let that slide. The gentle nudges, reality checks, and feedback after each interaction kept me moving. They helped me understand my patterns, especially why I kept attracting emotionally unavailable people. That awareness alone made me date differently. I got married in September 2024, thanks to Rakshitha and the team.

I used to mistake paper compatibility for real chemistry. There was a match my parents and friends were thrilled about: same background, great family, everything looked perfect. But I felt nothing. I kept trying to convince myself it would grow with time. Oendrila was the one who pushed me to listen to my gut. She said, “If you’re already forcing it, it’s not right.” I called it off, and it was the best decision I ever made. A few months later, I met someone who felt effortlessly right, and we got married in January 2023. Looking back, I’m just grateful someone gave me the confidence to walk away before I made a lifelong mistake.
The team is very supportive and helpful on the process and they really take the feedback seriously.
They helped me kick start my journey in finding a partner and more importantly getting to know what I want in life. As someone who neglected this part of life the date crew has been guiding me navigate this maze. The feedback after every failed match is especially useful and they make sure its a safe space to take difficult feedback and work on it. Thanks for everything so far Date Crew!
Meeting the team at TDC and discussing what I’m looking for, felt like a breath of fresh air. The term “match-making” comes with a slew of stereotypes in the Indian context, but honestly this just felt like a bunch of relatable friends who were taking their wingwomen responsibilities seriously (shoutout to Oendrilla, Shreya and Sneha!). I didn’t feel the need to contort myself to fit into the usual matrimonial expectations, and there wasn’t any judgement (only constructive feedback, handled in the best way!). I’m in the early days of getting to know someone, and I have to say I’m impressed with how the team at TDC just knew we’d get along even before we did! If you’re on the fence like we were, I’d recommend giving TDC a try, especially if you’re sure what you want out of a partnership and are ready for very intentional dating!
The Date Crew is a fantastic platform and a refreshing alternative to traditional dating and matrimonial apps. One of its biggest strengths is the profile creation experience. The information it asks for strikes the right balance between helping potential matches get to know each other and respecting individual privacy. The matchmaking process is equally impressive. The team is thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely focused on finding compatible matches. I had the opportunity to work with Shreya, Oendrila, and Sneha, and each of them took the time to understand my preferences before suggesting profiles. They also maintain the right balance between staying involved and giving matches the space they need to build a connection naturally. Overall, The Date Crew is doing an excellent job of redefining what modern matchmaking should look like.
I have got to admit it was scary at the beginning, but going through this journey of matchmaking with Kawaljeet has been unexpectedly comforting. I didn’t expect to feel this supported or understood, and somehow the whole process feels more hopeful. Thank you for being so patient and real with me so far.

When I first joined The Date Crew, I was chasing all the wrong kinds of matches. I kept saying I wanted something “real,” but my choices didn’t reflect it. My coach called it out gently but firmly, and helped me step back to understand what actually mattered: emotional availability, shared values, long-term alignment.They made sure I met enough people, reflected after every date, and learned to differentiate between chemistry and compatibility. Over time, that process gave me real clarity. So when I eventually met my wife, outside TDC, funnily enough, I recognised what I was looking for instantly. They stayed with me until the finalisation of the wedding, and ensured a smooth experience. I got married in August 2023, but I can say this with certainty: without The Date Crew, I wouldn’t have had the self-awareness or emotional readiness to choose right. They didn’t just help me date better; they helped me see better.

When I joined The Date Crew, I was unknowingly chasing the wrong kind of men, same background, same city, same story every time. On paper, they fit perfectly. In reality, nothing ever moved forward. My coach (Rakshitha) helped me see the pattern. I was choosing what looked familiar, not what felt right. They encouraged me to open my horizons and consider matches outside India too. At first, I resisted. But once I did, everything shifted. Within two months, they introduced me to someone based in the US. The connection was effortless. Our families got along beautifully, and we got married in September 2024. Looking back, I realise The Date Crew didn’t just find me a partner, they helped me stop repeating old patterns and choose love that actually fits.

Dating in Germany was really hard. The pool was small, the cultural gap was real, and my anxious attachment made it worse. I’d get invested too fast, overthink everything, and hold on even when it wasn’t working. I was tired of repeating the same cycle but didn’t know how to stop. Working with The Date Crew shifted everything. They made sure I met enough people, reflected after each date, and slowly rewired how I approached connection. TDC helped me understand my patterns and build emotional stability. Somewhere along the way, the script flipped. I stopped chasing and started attracting the kind of men I actually want to be with. I’m still searching, but this time with clarity, confidence, and peace.

I used to have a habit of pushing good people away. At the time, I didn’t realise it, but I was actually afraid of real connection: of being seen and vulnerable. When The Date Crew introduced me to the woman who’s now my wife, I almost did it again. I had a list of reasons to reject her: different country, different background, different everything. But the team didn’t let me run. They were firm, sometimes annoyingly so, and kept reminding me to focus on how she made me feel instead of ticking boxes. That push changed my life. We got married, and in 2024, we were blessed with a baby boy. Looking back, I’m just grateful they believed in me when I was still learning how to believe in love.

I used to chase sparks and reject people way too fast if they didn’t impress me right away. If there wasn’t instant chemistry, I’d convince myself it wasn’t worth exploring. The Date Crew really challenged that pattern. They asked me to slow down, stay curious, and give people a fair chance instead of judging them by a single meeting. When I first met my now husband, I almost wrote him off. He came across as a bit of a nerd, quiet and awkward on our first date. But my matchmaker insisted I meet him again. With each conversation, I started seeing who he really was: thoughtful, kind, grounded, and quietly charismatic once comfortable. We got married in December 2024, and I still laugh thinking how close I came to missing out. TDC didn’t just help me find him; they helped me see him.

Because of my job in the forces, finding someone who could handle a constantly changing base and lifestyle was always a challenge. Most women I met wanted stability: one city, one routine, and I couldn’t offer that. I knew I wanted a partner who was ambitious in her own right but also flexible enough to build a life that moves.
The Date Crew really understood that. They didn’t waste time setting me up with mismatched profiles. They specifically reached out to women who had independent careers and the freedom to work from anywhere. That’s how I met my now wife: a writer and published author with a beautiful balance of ambition and adaptability. She’s everything I’d hoped for: intelligent, grounded, and effortlessly thoughtful. I’m grateful TDC helped me find someone who fits my life, not just my checklist.

We both liked each other but our families were on edge, different cities, different expectations. TDC quietly managed it behind the scenes. They helped us set boundaries, pace conversations, and ease the tension. That emotional diplomacy is underrated. Without that support, I’m not sure we’d have made it through. I found my match and got married in July 2024.
My experience with TDC turned around completely when Arpitha became my matchmaker. After an initial four-month lull with no matches, Arpitha took charge of my profile, took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, and immediately brought active momentum to my search. Beyond sending relevant matches, her genuine support and unwavering positivity made all the difference. Matchmaking can be an emotionally exhausting journey, and on the days I felt like giving up, Arpitha kept my spirits high and kept me grounded. Regardless of the final outcome, her dedication and hard work are unmistakable. I am deeply grateful for her efforts and highly recommend working with her!
