From Community Connector to Founder: Radha Patel’s Single to Shadi Journey

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we’re joined by Radha Patel, founder of Single to Shadi. Radha shares how years of being deeply embedded in the South Asian community naturally led her into matchmaking, after noticing that highly accomplished professionals still struggled to find meaningful relationships despite the rise of dating apps.The conversation explores how Single to Shadi has evolved into a full ecosystem combining matchmaking, coaching, education, and curated in-person and virtual events for South Asian singles in the U.S. and Canada. Radha discusses building trust in a people-first business, balancing technology with personalization, and staying mission-driven while scaling — offering thoughtful insight into what it takes to grow a community-led company without losing its human touch.
