Indian matchmaker for NRI families in New YorkFrom Queens to Long Island, rishtas made with care
Pavitra Rishta is an offline marriage bureau run from one office in Kolkata since 2006, founded by Sunil Kejriwal and Priyanka Kejriwal. For Indian families in New York, we look for matches for sons and daughters who have built careers in the city, and help parents in India who want a well-placed rishta for a child living there. Most of our families are Marwari, Jain, Gujarati, Punjabi or Maheshwari. The first meeting is a video call at an hour that suits both New York and India, or parents can come to our Kolkata office. A dedicated Relationship Manager then shortlists suitable profiles, speaks to the other family first and shares only the few that fit, with biodata and photos.
NRI families in New York choose the Elite or Signature package. Both run for 12 months and include a dedicated Relationship Manager, and every enquiry gets a call back within 24 hours, Monday to Saturday.

Indian families in New York
New York has long drawn Indian professionals and traders. Many young people from our communities work in banking and finance in Manhattan, in the city's hospitals, in technology and in consulting.
Homes are spread out. Some families live in Queens, others on Long Island or in Westchester, and many young professionals rent in Manhattan or Brooklyn before marriage. Parents here usually ask whether the couple will settle in New York or return to India, what the visa or green card status is, and whether two demanding careers will fit in one city.
- Jackson Heights
- The Queens neighbourhood known for Indian sweet shops, sari stores and jewellers.
- Long Island
- Suburbs such as Hicksville, where many settled Indian families have bought homes.
- 47th Street, Midtown
- The diamond district, where Gujarati and Jain traders work in diamonds and jewellery.
- Manhattan
- Banking, law, medicine and consulting bring many young Indian professionals here.
These are only some of the areas. We serve families across New York and everywhere around it.
How New York families work with us
New York is 9 hours 30 minutes behind India in summer and 10 hours 30 minutes behind in winter, once daylight saving ends. An early morning or late evening in New York falls inside Indian office hours, so first meetings are set on video then. Parents in India can join from home or sit with us at the Kolkata office. On the Elite package, Saket Kejriwal meets your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does.
After that, your Relationship Manager stays in touch by phone and video call. Details go to another family only with your permission. When both sides approve, we arrange the meeting between the families and follow up with both afterwards. Signature adds NRI and international search, a personal matchmaker, concierge support and priority profile selection.
