My 34-Year Journey of Creating 12,000+ Matches
Log poochte hain, how did I start? It began in 1991 with a simple idea: giving couples a real choice in arranged marriage. Here is a look at the path that led to over 12,000 successful unions.

About My Journey & Achievements
People often think matchmaking is just about profiles, but for me, it is about deep-rooted compatibility. Whether I am counseling a couple to save a marriage or helping parents understand a modern alliance, my focus stays on the Mirror Test. This is a process where I identify ego-driven behaviors that kill relationships before they even start. If you are looking for a matchmaker who digs this deep, let us talk.
My story did not start in a fancy office. Growing up in a Gujarati Jain family, I saw how rigid the system felt. I had that awareness ka keeda, an urge to make things better. What began as a favor for friends in 1991 evolved into a career spanning over three decades. I realized early on that an arranged marriage does not have to be a compromise. It can be a proper arranged love marriage where you meet, you choose, and you build a life.
Throughout these 34 years, I have moved beyond just matchmaking. I have worked on the ground to halt over 500 child marriages and have stepped in to save over 2,000 divorces. My approach blends the old-school wisdom of family integration, getting the grandparents, parents, and couple on the same page, with modern psychological techniques. It is not just about finding a partner, it is about keeping the partnership alive.
My work has been recognized with awards like the Priyadarshini Indira Gandhi Award, but the real reward is the network of families I have helped. Whether you are in Mumbai, Delhi, or living abroad, my focus remains the same: high-profile, confidential, and deeply personal. I am here to help you navigate the complexities of modern relationships while respecting the traditions that matter.
