u/AnkitS75

I’m 32, currently based in Mumbai. Pursued my undergrad in Electronics Engineering, and an MBA from Georgetown University, DC. I’ve worked in technology, transformation, banking, capital markets and consulting roles across 5+ companies (including all of the Big 4s). Hindu by birth, and though I’m not very religious, I respect & follow it cuz it’s my culture.

Now that all of the technicalities are out of the way…the actual me -

I’ve grown up in over 8 cities all across India and 2 more in the US (for my Master’s and work, for ~6 years from 2019 to 2025), so I’m adaptable, but I value depth, stability, and strong personal grounding in people.

I am passionate, fiercely loyal, expressive, affectionate, extremely communicative (yes, I talk a lot), pretty intellectual yet incredibly goofy.

I’ve professionally trained in:

• Sketching & Painting (10+ years)
• Singing (8+ years)
• Badminton (4+ years)

I’ve also pursued the following out of my own interest:

• Cooking (14+ years)
• Magic (12+ years)
• Writing (10+ years)

I can speak in 5 languages, understand 7 and sing in 10. I’m deeply drawn to films & storytelling, and really enjoy music, stand-ups and basically anything that involves expression and creativity. I don’t drink or smoke simply cuz neither of those habits ever interested me (and cuz I am physically incapable of being drunk; I’ve tried).

What I’m like (as told by people who know me well):

• My childlike innocence and authenticity are intact (phew!)
• I give people I care about my undivided attention and remember the tiniest details
• I express affection openly (bear hugs, forehead kisses…you get the idea)
• I enjoy long conversations, playful banter, silliness, strength and emotional depth equally

I’m more than happy to walk aimlessly for hours with you, laugh, share chai, eat good food, sing, watch movies, cook together, talk about life…and see if we’d want to spend it together

I don’t take relationships lightly. I believe that you can have chemistry with many, but the grass is greener where YOU choose to water it.
For me, connection (intellectual, emotional, mental & physical), compatibility, friendship, and long-term commitment are the main dishes. Marriage is the plate all of that is served on. It’s just a fun side-quest, not the main goal. So, I don’t “date to marry” in a transactional sense, I date for genuine and unconditional life-long commitment & companionship, and marriage…is just a part of that.

I’m looking for someone who:

• also initiates (this matters more than you’d think)
• is strong, confident, driven, well-educated, well-spoken and grounded
• is communicative, expressive, consistent, and emotionally aware
• has strong boundaries & values, high self-respect and self-worth
• knows how to love and is not afraid to show it
• can match my energy and goofiness (or at least enjoy it)
• has clear values around loyalty, unconditional commitment & fidelity i.e. you’re loyal cuz that’s all you know to be
• is genuinely excited to explore something meaningful
• is not too short (I’m 5’10); is fit and has good hygiene
• is hopefully not too political, cuz I’m not political at all
• is independent (financially, mentally, and emotionally), and has ideally lived by herself for at least a while and enjoyed it
• wants to be an equal partner in every sense of the word, not someone who looks at me for everything (and I’m not just talking about money)

Attraction (both physical and mental) matters to me but more than that, I’m looking for someone I can deeply respect, admire, and build something real with…as an equal. Communication, respect, honesty and effort are non-negotiable.

Practical filters (to avoid wasting time):

• Location: Mumbai only (Delhi & Bangalore work too, if you’re open to moving at some point). Not looking for a long-distance relationship to begin with. I might consider moving back to the US if I find something genuinely exciting.
• Food: I’m a pure non-vegetarian, and since cooking & sharing food, according to me, are 2 of the most intimate ways 2 people connect, I’d prefer someone who is non-vegetarian as well.
• Mindset: Intelligence, boundaries, and mental strength matter A LOT to me
• Family goals: I definitely want to have kids

I am ‘romantic’ as well as ‘a romantic’. If you actually understand that, feel free to reach out 😊

P.S. - Yes, this is how detailed my writing usually is 😄
