Below — the failure modes hichki kills

We know what your week looks like

You're holding all of this
in your head.

The most expensive private event you'll ever organise. The most complex. The most emotional. And the system holding it together is you, your mum, and a WhatsApp group called “Wedding Final 2.” That's not a system. That's a person under pressure.

  • T-4

    Mama-ji's flight lands 7:14 AM.

    The driver knows 7. Nobody told the driver about the 14.

  • T-3

    Anand Caterers' second payment is due Friday.

    You'll remember Thursday at 11 PM. After you finally sit down.

  • T-2

    ITC releases 9 unassigned rooms in 96 hours.

    It's on the contract. It's not on anybody's calendar.

  • T-2

    Naina Kapoor's +1 has a name.

    It's on a Post-it on your fridge. Catering count needs it.

  • T-1

    Pratima Auntie can't eat sugar.

    She mentioned it once in October. The caterer's never heard.

  • Day-of

    The Jain count for Sangeet is off by 11.

    You find out at 9:47 PM. Plated. In front of everyone.

  • Day-of

    Suresh Mama is at arrivals with no driver.

    His third call comes through while you're in the mandap.

27 things you're tracking. 4 WhatsApp groups. 3 Excel sheets. One brain.

You're doing this brilliantly — and you shouldn't have to do it alone.

The system

What an operated wedding
looks like.

Hichki doesn't track tasks. Hichki tracks the moments where things break — and stops them from breaking. Five of them, in order:

  1. 11 AM, T-7

    step 01

    The 14 pending RSVPs get a WhatsApp.

    Per-family, in their language, with the venue map and the dress code. By lunch you have 12 replies and 2 you can phone personally.

  2. T-3, 9 AM

    step 02

    Anand Caterers' M2 alert hits.

    ₹2,40,000. Vendor ledger surfaces it days before, not via a WhatsApp DM at 11 PM. Settled by EOD. Receipt in the ledger.

  3. T-2, noon

    step 03

    Catering count locks 48 hours out.

    Veg / non-veg / Jain / allergies — frozen, signed, sent to the caterer and the vendor manager. The Jain number is right. Pratima Auntie's diabetes is on the card.

  4. Day-of, 6 AM

    step 04

    Driver Ramesh's day starts as a single card.

    Suresh Mama's flight, the terminal, the sign with his name, the route to ITC. Driver confirms read at 6:12. At 6:47 his phone says he's left home.

  5. Day-of, 8:30 PM

    step 05

    Varmala starts. 198 guests are in.

    QR scan at the gate, live count on your phone. Caterer adjusts the buffet on the fly. You are not counting. You are dancing.

This is not aspirational. It's what hichki does, every day, for every wedding it runs.
