The Startup Groom: When Chasing Dreams Collides with Chasing a Bride

The Startup Groom: When Chasing Dreams Collides with Chasing a Bride** At 32, fAIzi makes a life-altering decision: he quits his secure IT sales job to chase the dream of launching his own startup. But dreams don't pay the bills, investors are elusive, and clients are skeptical. To make matters more chaotic, his parents have decided it's the perfect time to find him a bride. In Chennai's fiercely competitive shaadi market, being jobless, fond of drinks, a cigarette in hand, and with zero female friends makes him the worst product on the matrimonial shelf. From awkward bride interviews where he proudly claims his "package" is negative, to disastrous investor meetings full of confusing jargon, fAIzi's life becomes a series of comic misadventures. His only ally? Suresh, his ever-optimistic co-founder, whose "brilliant ideas" usually involve filter coffee and PowerPoints. Then enters Maya, a sharp, witty, and charismatic HR professional. She's unlike anyone fAIzi has met — she laughs at his failures, challenges his excuses, and slowly teaches him that true success isn't measured in funding or appearances but in finding someone who believes in you even when you don't. **The Startup Groom** is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that blends entrepreneurship, love, and friendship into a heartwarming story of perseverance and unexpected joy. Follow fAIzi as he navigates nosy aunties, chaotic pitch meetings, misfit friends, bachelor party disasters, wedding day mayhem, and the slow but steady growth of his startup. Funny, relatable, and surprisingly moving, this novel proves that sometimes the best ROI in life isn't measured in rupees — it's found in love, laughter, and partnership. Perfect for fans of slice-of-life comedy, quirky romance, and entrepreneurial adventures, this book will leave you laughing, rooting for the underdog, and believing that life's greatest successes are often the ones you least expect.
