Matchmaking, made deliberate.
Unshaadi is a private matchmaking program for accomplished South Asians — entrepreneurs, doctors, designers, founders, scientists — who are ready to find a partner for life, not a profile to swipe on.

A different kind of matchmaking.
We built Unshaadi for the people the apps fail — those who already know what they bring to a relationship, and want the same in return.
- 01
Discreet by design
Your candidacy is reviewed privately by our matchmakers. Nothing about you ever sits on a public profile, and we share details only with mutually-interested matches.
- 02
Curated, not algorithmic
We do not believe a partner-for-life can be reduced to filters. Every introduction is hand-picked by a senior matchmaker who knows both sides personally.
- 03
Selective on both sides
We accept fewer than one in twelve applicants. That bar is what lets us promise the same standard to the person across the table from you.
Four steps. Many conversations.
We move slowly on purpose. Each step is meant to deepen what we know — about you, and about the partner who would actually fit your life.
- 01
Apply
A confidential application tells us who you are, what you do, and what a meaningful partnership looks like to you.
- 02
Vetting interview
If your application resonates, a senior matchmaker meets you — virtually or in person. This is where we get to know the human, not the resume.
- 03
Curation
Accepted members enter a curated pool. Your matchmaker hand-picks introductions based on values, life stage, and chemistry — never volume.
- 04
Hand-held introductions
You meet a small number of carefully chosen matches. We stay close after every introduction — debriefing, refining, and making the next one better.
The most meaningful intros happen when no one is looking.
"I had given up on the apps. Unshaadi felt like the first time someone actually listened to what I wanted before suggesting anyone. Two introductions in, I met my husband."
"The vetting was rigorous, which is exactly what put me at ease. Everyone I met was someone I could have reasonably built a life with — that is rare."
"They take their time. They push back. They ask hard questions. I think that is why the introductions actually worked."
- Is Unshaadi really invitation-only?
- Anyone may submit an application. We accept a small fraction — currently around 8% of applicants — based on a combination of values, life stage, and readiness for a serious relationship. Acceptance is not a judgement on a person; it is whether we believe we can serve them well.
- What does it cost?
- We share fees only after the vetting interview, once we have a clear picture of what your search will involve. Membership is a single, all-inclusive engagement — there are no surprise add-ons.
- How long does it usually take to find a match?
- Most members meet someone significant within six to twelve months. We are intentional about pace — we would rather make one excellent introduction than five rushed ones.
- Is my information kept confidential?
- Absolutely. Your details are never published, shared with third parties, or shown to other members without your explicit consent on a per-introduction basis.
- Do I have to be Indian or live in India?
- Our community is South Asian by heritage and global by geography. We have members across India, the US, UK, UAE, Canada, Singapore and beyond.
