We charge a small, nominal, interview fee to protect both our time and yours. People tend not to value things that come for “free” and the same goes with time. As you can imagine, we get a lot of inquiries from people with whom we are unable to work (not living in North America, too young, not of South Asian descent, etc) and by establishing a paywall, this helps us ensure only serious candidates continue through to the interview and subsequent matchmaking process.

We will go through your background/upbringing and discuss your “must haves” vs “dealbreakers”. We also dive deep into your personality and past experiences to determine what you’re looking for in a partner and relationship. No prep work is needed, instead, come prepared to be open and honest during the interview and we’ll take the notes. No judgement - we’re here to help you find your perfect match!

After you submit your email address, you will receive an email with a link to a brief questionnaire. This questionnaire is short and simple and helps us determine your eligibility to become a part of our database. After this, you’ll receive another email with a link to schedule your onboarding interview. If there are no times available or if nothing suits your schedule, no worries, we update our availability weekly so check back often.

Once we’ve identified a potential match, you’ll be sent a “referral” which consists of a few paragraphs of why we feel you would be a good fit for each other as well as a few photos. This is just a starting off point - if you want more details or need us to find out something that might not have been discussed during the interview, we can do that. Because, in most cases, we represent both parties, we’ve done the same onboarding interview with the other person and have a deep relationship with them, just as we do with you.

We’re essentially a “pay as you go” service provider. This means no upfront fees (apart from the nominal interview fee), no long term commitments or contracts. We charge a one time, flat introduction fee when you and your potential match have expressed a mutual interest to move forward. Any profiles/referrals you review prior to the introduction are free for our clients.

After being introduced, we check in with you to ensure certain relationship milestones are being met. You can also use as as a sounding board to discuss your thoughts or ask for advice. If either party feels they don’t want to continue in the relationship, we also step in to help end things amicably - ensuring there is no ghosting or time wasted. After the introduction is closed, we go back to the board and start the referral/matching process over again.

We work with single individuals that identify of any South Asian descent. Typically that means your ancestry hails from the Indian subcontinent which includes countries such as: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Understanding the cultural nuances that go into these relationships, we’ll be able to work with you in finding a partner. Over 45 and no longer looking to add children to your life? Second time shaadi is here to help you meet other singles in a similar phase of life.

Likes, preferences, and deal breakers are discussed during the onboarding interview and that includes geographic preferences.

While the majority of our clients are US Citizens that are born/raised in America, we work with singles of different types of immigration status. Our minimum requirement is that you are physically located in the US/Canada with an intent to stay in the West for the long term.

Yes! We believe #PyaarHaiPyaar and would love to help you find your perfect partner within the desi community.

Knowing that horoscope matching is very important in our community, we respect your wishes to know about the referral’s date/time/location of birth. However, we pride ourselves “not being your parents matchmaker” so tend to match partners based on personality and life goals, rather than on horoscope. If this is something that is important to you, we hope that you can discuss this with any potential matches, after we’ve done the initial introduction.

We are actively adding new clients to our database so our demographics are constantly shifting. Current trends and details can be discussed during the interview.

In one word: no. During our research, we found that while many of our clients were open to being introduced by parents/family/friends/etc, proxies don’t take the time to understand you and ultimately what you are looking for in a partner and relationship which is why those introductions didn’t necessarily work out. Because we go through an in depth interview with each of our clients, we get to know more about you, beyond the biodata, which cannot be accomplished by talking to a proxy. Also, we’re not here to claim that marriage is a signifier of your success in life; in fact, it might not be for everyone, whether your family agrees with us or not. So we’d rather work with the single individual themself and understand the motivations behind finding a partner.

We are always looking for opportunities to collaborate and grow our influence so shoot us an email with what you’re thinking.

“Success” is a very subjective term and means something different to each individual. We believe a successful match is when two people are introduced and make it to a second date. While we screen all of our clients for their willingness to be in a committed & long term relationship, we fully recognize that marriage is not the end goal for all couples and do not believe that marriage is the only determining factor of our success rate.

You don’t need to stop using dating apps when working with us because you never know who you’ll meet and when/where, but we hope that over time, you’ll find value in the legwork that we do when sending you referrals which you can’t necessarily get from the apps.
