IITs and IIMs Searching Soulmates on Matchmaking Sites - Shivani Misir Sadhoo Features in Deccan Chronicles

India’s intellectual crème de la crème from IITs and IIM are searching for their soulmates on elite matchmaking sites that cater exclusively only to alumni of these premier institutes


Dr Shivani Misri Sadhoo, psychologist and marriage counsellor states, “The choice to marry within similar educational backgrounds can yield dual effects. It may foster elitism and reinforce social stratification, limiting diversity in relationships. It can also facilitate genuine connections based on shared values and understanding.” While these marriages can strengthen personal bonds and contribute to stable relationships, it's essential to recognize their potential to perpetuate socioeconomic divides, as educational pedigree mostly correlates with economic status. Dr Shivani adds, “Marital success hinges on a complex interplay of factors beyond education alone; divorces within professions like film stars, doctors, lawyers, and IAS officers demonstrate that diversity in backgrounds does not guarantee or hinder relationship success.”
