Pune man turns his arranged marriage matches to excel spreadsheet to choose the right partner, netizens say: "This is awesome!"

In India, arranged marriages are the norm; however, finding the right partner for you through this process can be a gruelling task. While some people are lucky enough to find their match through arranged marriages within a few months, for others it can take years. To streamline the process and filter through countless matches

swiftly, a guy from Pune has turned that chaos into a viral sensation with... an Excel sheet!

Meet Vikas, the organised desi dude who's tracking his arranged marriage prospects like a pro project manager. His Instagram video, where he shares his method, has now gone viral - racking up over 8 lakh views, 10,000 likes, and a comment section that's pure comedy gold. In true millennial style, he captioned it, "When life gives you arranged marriage, build a tracker, Weekend Tracker." Because why not spreadsheet your way to soulmate status?




Vikas shared the details in the clip: Parents were flooding him with match after match, demanding constant details. Mental notes? No way - that's a recipe for mix-ups. So, he whipped up a simple Excel masterpiece. Columns for first names, conversation notes, follow-up status, and his raw impressions - like "no vibe," "good conversation," "no follow-up," or "values aligned." Brutally honest, zero fluff. It's like Tinder meets Google Sheets: efficient, data-driven, and oddly satisfying. He even shared the template with buddies, turning it into a group survival tool for the rishta hunt. Genius? Or peak overthink? You decide.



The post felt relatable to many, and it soon gained people's attention on social media. One person said, "Oh god, this is awesome!" Another joked, "Monthly dashboard review meeting bhi hogi kya Parents aur chacha tau ke saath?" (Will there be a monthly review with parents and uncles?) Tech bros chimed in, "Ek dynamic dashboard bana sakte hai iska!" or "Pivot table for matrimonial viability quotient!"

A user also jokingly suggested that Vikas should go to Shark Tank and pitch this idea. "Shark Tank pe jaake ispe ek accha sa pitch dede bhai!" Laughter aside, it's relatable - as who hasn't juggled family pressure with modern swiping vibes?

But not everyone's on board. Critics called it out, with one person saying, "How is this different from dating multiple people at once? 2-3 meets max for vibe check, then commit." Another nailed the philosophy, "If you're meeting tons simultaneously, you'll pick the 'best' on paper - not someone who's best at being themselves. You're not finding soulmates; just top scorers." Fair point - arranged marriage setups are based on family wisdom, but turning it into Excel sheets feels like love via algorithm. Does data kill the romance, or just tame the madness?
