Swipe Right, But On What ?Radhika Mohta on Love, Loneliness & Connection

We have more ways to reach one another than ever before. Why, then, can meaningful connection feel so elusive? In this conversation, Dr. Rishikesh KB joins matchmaker, relationship coach and community builder Radhika Mohta to explore the tensions shaping contemporary relationships: abundant choice and swipe fatigue, professional achievement and emotional readiness, visibility and intimacy.

Moving between dating apps and arranged marriage, self-worth and heartbreak, expectations and communication, the discussion considers what it takes to build and sustain companionship. Mohta’s perspective on “relationships as infrastructure” also invites a wider reflection on friendship, community and belonging beyond romantic partnership. A thoughtful conversation for anyone navigating love, supporting someone who is, or seeking deeper human connection; with a question that stays beyond the screen: Are we becoming better at finding people, but less prepared to understand them?


Summary: Contemporary relationships, dating apps, arranged marriage, emotional readiness and meaningful connection. Dr. Rishikesh KB and Radhika Mohta explore love, communication, community and belonging.
