What makes a great connection in today’s world of endless swipes and shiny new algorithms? According to Naina Hiranandani, co-founder of Sirf Coffee, the answer lies less in the tech and more in the human touch.
In this breezy and free-flowing episode of C-Suite Conversations, Naina opens up about her unconventional journey from journalist to matchmaker, and why telling stories and understanding people go hand-in-hand when it comes to building lasting relationships. “You can listen to people, but don’t actually listen to them,” she laughs, explaining how intuition often matters more than a checklist when curating connections.
With anecdotes straight out of a rom-com—from couples who met over awkward Skype dates to a 13-hour flight that turned into an unforgettable second date, Naina shows us that love can be serendipitous, quirky, and delightfully unpredictable. And while AI and apps may flood the dating space with options, she reminds us that body language, eye contact, and real conversations still matter most.
Her philosophy is simple: matchmaking is less about formulas and more about stories. Whether you’re in search of a partner or simply fascinated by the evolving landscape of love in the digital age, this conversation offers insight, wit, and plenty of heart.
Tune in to watch Naina Hiranandani in C-Suite Conversations, and maybe be reminded that the best connections still happen over a good cup of coffee and in person.
