Why we built this

A home abroad, raised on values from home.

Living between Delhi and New Jersey, we watched the same conversation happen in both places. Families settled abroad wanted a bride or groom who had grown up with the values they were raised on themselves: respect for elders, a place for family in ordinary daily life, and the willingness to build a home rather than simply share an address.

The existing matrimonial sites answered a narrower question. They listed height, income and community. They could not tell a family in New Jersey whether the person in Delhi actually wanted the life being described.

So we put our twenty-six years in technology behind the part nobody had built: a Compatibility Engine engine that reads how a person behaves, how they were brought up, what they expect after marriage and how they treat the people around them, and matches on that.

We built the service we would want for our own daughters. That is the whole standard.

Twenty-six years of it

We have been bridging India and America since 1999.

Our first business did the same thing this one does: it connected the two countries we live in. Over twenty-six years we have served more than eighteen thousand companies with hosting, domains and email, and for over a decade we ran our own server farm in the United States.

Eighteen thousand businesses trusted us with something they could not afford to lose — their mail, their websites, their customers reaching them. Almost all of them found us the same way: somebody told them about us.

We are bringing that same work to a harder problem. Indian families abroad want a match for their child who was raised with the values they were raised on. We know both countries, both sets of expectations, and how to build something that holds up over years rather than weeks.

Guarantees of a wedding
We work hard. We do not sell certainty.
Our promise, in plain words

Chronically honest. We take pride in that.

We would love to be in conversation with you, and you can speak to us with full confidence that you will never be taken for a ride.

Word of mouth is the whole plan

Eighteen thousand companies found us because somebody recommended us. That is the only foundation we know how to build on.

No pressure, no surprises

Nothing is sent on your behalf without your consent, and nothing is charged that you did not choose. Ask us anything and you get a straight answer.

Hard work, not a guarantee

We promise to work hard to try and get your ward married. Nobody can promise the outcome, and we will not pretend otherwise.

The money follows the honesty

We are not here to take money from you. We believe that if we are honest in our profession, the rest takes care of itself.

We will work hard to try and get your ward married. We cannot promise a wedding, and anyone who does is selling you something. What we can promise is honest work, a straight answer every time you ask, and a service built to earn the recommendation you give the next family.

Two homes, one standard

Delhi and New Jersey. We know both sides of the conversation because we live on both sides of it.

Twenty-six years in technology

The matching engine is built in-house. The question bank, the trait model and the scoring are ours.

A parent's test

Nothing ships that we would not want used on our own daughters' profiles.
