Spreading love through research, art, and technology
We are a studio-lab dedicated to understanding love and human connection. Through books, games, research, and technology, we celebrate what it means to be loved and to be human.
Everything we create is designed to deepen human connection — through stories, play, research, and innovation.
For thirteen years, every project we've worked on has been exploring the same question: how do human relationships and technology affect each other? We call this relational computing.

The Founder
Shriya Sekhsaria has been trying to understand love since she was five years old and wrote her first book about an orphan.
She's taken some unusual routes since then — Princeton, Goldman Sachs, a startup exit, archery nationals, a research fellowship in Paris — but the question has stayed the same. What makes us feel truly connected? And what happens when technology enters the picture?
Ishq & Insight is her answer: a studio built at the intersection of science, art, and human connection. She is its founder, its chief storyteller, and its most enthusiastic test subject.
