According to available information, Abhay Singh married an engineering graduate named Preetika earlier this year. On Monday, he arrived in his village in Jhajjar district, Haryana, accompanied by his bride to seek his parents’ blessings. Notably, he was seen wearing saffron attire during the visit. Singh told media personnel that the purpose of the visit was to receive his parents’ blessings and complete bank KYC formalities.
Providing details about the marriage, Singh stated that the wedding ceremony took place at the Aghanjar Mahadev Temple in Himachal Pradesh on the occasion of Shivratri. He further added that the couple solemnized their union through a court marriage on February 19.
Abhay Singh, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), had pursued aerospace engineering before later shifting his academic focus to the arts and completing a master’s degree in design. Following his education, he moved to Canada, where he worked for three years and reportedly earned an annual salary of up to Rs 36 lakh.
Despite professional success, Singh experienced depression during his time in Canada. Struggling with mental health issues, he chose to leave his corporate career and turn towards spirituality. His story came into the public domain during the 2025 Mahakumbh, where he was seen dressed as an ordinary sadhu. His identity as an IIT Bombay graduate during an interview surprised many and led to his widespread recognition as ‘IIT Baba’.
In an earlier interview with Headline India, Singh had revealed that witnessing conflict between his parents had eroded his belief in the institution of marriage. He also disclosed that he had been in a relationship with a girlfriend in India for four years but never chose to marry her.
The recent marriage of ‘IIT Baba’ marks a significant shift in his personal journey, drawing renewed public attention to his life story that spans academic excellence, corporate success, mental health struggles, spiritual transformation, and now, a return to conventional social structures.
