How we stayed in love, while building a business together | Working with a partner and co-worker

Rajesh & Sakshi met online, fell in love and discovered a problem that couples face - they run out of date ideas. So they built their own app, but as love turns to work, Rajesh was thinking of breaking up.

When they met both Rajesh & Sakshi talked about friends (F.R.I.E.N.D.S) and bonded over Sakshi's wild adventures. As they started dating, Rajesh suggested ABC dating - dating by the alphabets, eg. letter S could be skating and they would meet to skate. As the alphabets dwindled they realised finding refreshing dating ideas was hard - and they started sparks.dating, to help couples find the next best date activities. Everything was perfect,  they would become both lovers, and founders together. Couple goals.

But starting a relationship with a co-worker and being founders with your lover is hard. As pressure bubbles within Rajesh so does the thought - maybe we should just break up and accept the heart break.

This is not a love story, but is a story about love, and what it takes for 2 people to coexist as lovers and co-workers.
