### My story

Namaste, I’m Priya Shah. People call me The Matchmaker, but really, I’m just someone who got a keeda (itch) after my own shaadi. Grew up Gujarati Jain, did the whole arranged marriage at 18 thing—lucky it worked out for me! But I saw my friends struggle, so I started helping. What began as a favor in ’91 turned into 12,000+ matches. I still get the same joy seeing couples I helped, even after all these years.

### My work

- **Elite matchmaking, counseling, and exclusive get-togethers**: I offer elite matchmaking for NRIs, personalized marriage counseling, and host private matrimonial get-togethers.
- **‘Arranged-Love Marriage’ approach**: You get to meet plenty of profiles, practical and modern—choose who clicks with you, not just what parents say.
- **Families matter**: I always meet both families—sometimes even dadi-nani (grandmas)!—because it’s about everyone coming together.
- **Niche, educated crowd**: Most of my clients are doctors, MBAs, business folks—India and abroad. Trust and understanding, that’s my thing.
- **Confidential and no dowry**: Confidential high-profile matchmaking only. I do deep checks, never support dowry—compatibility and respect come first.
