CMU and Pitt Built the Talent Pool. We're Building the Dating Scene.

Carnegie Mellon and Pitt have turned Pittsburgh into one of the most important tech and robotics hubs in the country, and the Indian grad student pipeline is a huge part of that story. Cranberry Township, Wexford, Monroeville. The desi suburbs are real and growing. But the social scene for South Asian singles in Pittsburgh is basically nonexistent unless you count department mixers and temple potlucks.

Garam Masala Dating is the #1 live South Asian dating show and singles mixer that runs weekly in New York City. Real singles. Real blind dates on stage. An audience of 250 who came to watch and to meet people themselves. It’s not a tech talk with a happy hour attached. It’s a real night out.

Pittsburgh’s desi community has a specific character. It’s heavy on engineers, researchers, and grad students. The people here are smart, driven, and genuinely interesting. They also tend to be so focused on work that they forget to build a social life outside the lab. This show exists for exactly that person.

The city has been on our radar for a while. CMU alone produces enough single South Asians to fill a venue, and when you add Pitt and the professional community in the suburbs, the demand is clear. Get on the waitlist to hear about it first, or apply now to be a contestant.

Strip District energy, Shadyside brunch crowd, Squirrel Hill regulars. Wherever you are in Pittsburgh, this is the event you didn’t know you were waiting for.
