Pavitra Rishta, Shuruwat Naye Rishte Ki

Indian matchmaking for NRI families in AustraliaFor Indian families across Australia

Pavitra Rishta is an offline marriage bureau that Sunil Kejriwal and Priyanka Kejriwal started in Kolkata in 2006. We help Indian families in Australia find a match for their son or daughter among Punjabi, Gujarati, Marwari, Jain and Maheshwari families in Australia, India and other countries. Many of these young people came to Australia to study and stayed on for work, so parents are often still in India. Sydney and Melbourne are four and a half hours ahead of India, more during Australian daylight saving, so the first meeting is a video call at a time that works for both. Parents in India can meet us at our Kolkata office. NRI families choose the Elite or Signature package.

Families in Sydney and Melbourne can also read our city pages for those communities. Every package includes a dedicated Relationship Manager, and we call back every enquiry within 24 hours, which helps when your evening is our afternoon.

Indian families in Australia and what they ask us

Australia's Indian community has grown quickly through students and skilled workers, and most families live in Sydney and Melbourne, with others in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Punjabi and Gujarati families are especially well represented, and there are Marwari and Jain professionals in finance, technology, medicine and business.

The questions we hear most are about visas and settling. Is the match a citizen, a permanent resident or on a temporary visa? Will the couple stay in Australia or come back to India? Will the parents in India be part of every decision? We discuss these with you first, so each profile you see already fits.

Sydney
A large Indian community, with Harris Park known as the city's Little India.
Melbourne
Home to many Indian students who stayed on for work and settled.
Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide
Growing Indian communities, many in health care, mining and technology.
Punjabi and Gujarati families
Two of the best-represented communities among Indians in Australia.
Parents in India
Many families have the son or daughter in Australia and parents still at home.

These are only some of the places. We serve families in every part of Australia.

How families in Australia work with us

Sydney and Melbourne are four and a half hours ahead of India, and five and a half during Australian daylight saving. Perth is two and a half hours ahead. The first meeting is a video call, often with the son or daughter in Australia and the parents joining from India, or the parents can 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 then calls with each shortlisted profile, with biodata and photos, after speaking to the other family. When both sides approve, we arrange the family meeting, in Australia, in India or on video, and follow up with both families afterwards.

Questions from families in Australia

My son is in Melbourne and we are in India. How does this work?

This is one of the most common arrangements we see. You can meet us at our Kolkata office or on video, and your son joins from Melbourne on a video call. Your Relationship Manager keeps both of you informed, and nothing is shared with another family without your permission.

Can you find a match for my daughter who is a permanent resident in Australia?

Yes. Residency status is one of the first things families ask about, so we state it clearly in the profile. We search among families in Australia, India and other countries, and speak to each family about where the couple would live before sharing any profile with you.

What time can we call you from Australia?

Our office works Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm IST. Sydney and Melbourne are four and a half hours ahead of India, or five and a half during daylight saving, so our afternoon is your evening. We call back every enquiry within 24 hours.

Which package can an Australian family choose?

Families living outside India choose the Elite package (₹5,51,000) or the Signature package (₹12,00,000), plus 18% GST, valid for 12 months. Signature adds international search, a personal matchmaker, concierge support and priority profile selection. Both include a dedicated Relationship Manager.
