Indian matchmaker for NRI families in AntwerpFor Gujarati Jain families of the diamond trade

Antwerp has long been a centre of the world diamond trade, and Indian traders have been part of it for decades. Most Indian families here are Gujarati Jains, many with roots in Palanpur in north Gujarat. Their offices are in the diamond district near Antwerp Central Station, and their businesses link closely with Mumbai and with the cutting and polishing units of Surat.

Children here grow up speaking Gujarati at home and Dutch, French or English outside, and many study in Belgium or the UK. Parents usually want a Jain match who keeps the same food habits, and they ask whether the couple will live in Antwerp, move to Mumbai, or join the business in another diamond centre.

These are only some of the areas. We serve families across Antwerp and everywhere around it.

Belgium is 3 hours 30 minutes behind India in summer and 4 hours 30 minutes behind in winter. A morning call in Antwerp is early afternoon in India, so first meetings fit easily into both working days. Relatives in Mumbai, Surat or elsewhere in India can join from home or come to our Kolkata office.

On the Elite package, Saket Kejriwal meets your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does. Your Relationship Manager keeps in touch by phone and shares details only with your permission. Once both sides approve, we arrange the meeting between families and follow up with both. Signature adds NRI and international search and concierge support.
