Indian matchmaking for NRI families in KenyaFor Kenya's Gujarati, Jain and Lohana families

Gujarati traders have been part of Kenya's business life for generations, and Jain families, including the Oshwal community, are well known in Nairobi. Lohana families are also long established, along with Punjabi families whose forebears came to East Africa to work and then built businesses of their own.

Most families today are in Nairobi and Mombasa, many running businesses in trade, manufacturing and services. Children often grow up speaking English and Gujarati, study abroad, and may settle in Kenya, the UK or India. Parents ask us early where a match would want to live, and whether the other family is comfortable with life in East Africa.

Families in the UK

Many Kenyan Indian families have close relatives in London and Leicester.

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

India is two and a half hours ahead of Kenya, so a morning call in Nairobi is late morning or afternoon in Kolkata. The first meeting is a video call, and relatives in India can meet us at our Kolkata office instead. 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 first. When both sides approve, we arrange the family meeting, in Kenya, India, the UK or on video, and follow up with both families afterwards.
