Startup Idea 1: Bespoke Wedding Experiences Without Marriage

INR 10-13 lakh spent per wedding in India. Average annual household income is INR 4 lakh. Assuming 2 households spending, it's 1.2-1.5x their annual income. Assuming only the girl's family paying, it's 3x annual income. It's absurd how much people love to spend to feed and entertain the people they never want to see in their lives again. Also absurd, no big startup in this space. Why is no tech bro/gal conquering the wedding space?

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey) Few observations: 1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility 2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other. 3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them. Though I have my doubts here 1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match? 2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element. 3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face. P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing. Let's help someone find their soulmate ❤️ P.P.S. If this takes off, I will change my username to TimaSaparia

I have a startup idea to start a community service. The idea is to help people who don't want to marry under their parents or societal pressure. The service will provide counseling to parents, normalize singlehood, mediator between the customer and everyone involved. The service can be extended to almost anything aligning with this. The idea is that not many people can provide good arguments in their favour or just don't want to put their views. We will have the best and brightest people to provide support with expertise on psychology, societal behavior, debate etc. The idea could be totally ridiculous but I want to know the community's thoughts on this. Go on. Roast me if you feel like.

I'm having an Idea for an open source marriage app. (Not a business) Its made for youth, of youth, by youth for GenZ, Millenials who are not interested in the traditional constructs of society and is looking outside. How many viners here can come together for this project. Think of it like "The Product Folks " community but for marriage. 1. KYC Should be done only by the boys/girls. No parents/nosy relatives interference whatsoever 2. Their likes and dislikes is hidden for others on the platform until the other gender initiates a conversation with them and accepts criterias mutually. 3. It will have a bunch of mutually compatibility check sessions with feedback form for each other. 4. No AI allowed on images on the platform. 5. Fees collected from the customers would be solely for the maintenance and upgrade of the app. 6. Equal or equivalent criteria for matching guys n girls. 7. Proposing app name as Utopic !!! Would love to know the opinions of other viners . @biryanienthu I read somewhere you worked on an idea on this space and would like to know your stance/opinions/other valuable inputs on this.
