Pavitra Rishta, Shuruwat Naye Rishte Ki

Indian matchmaking for NRI families in New ZealandFor Indian families in Auckland and beyond

Pavitra Rishta is an offline marriage bureau in Kolkata, run since 2006 by Sunil Kejriwal and Priyanka Kejriwal. We help Indian families in New Zealand find a match for their son or daughter among Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari, Jain and Maheshwari families in New Zealand, India, Australia and further afield. Gujarati families were among the earliest Indians to settle in New Zealand, and Punjabi families followed, with many newer arrivals coming as students and skilled workers. New Zealand is six and a half hours ahead of India, so we time the first video call carefully. Parents in India can meet us at our Kolkata office. NRI families choose the Elite or Signature package.

Because the Indian community in New Zealand is fairly small, most searches reach into India and Australia as well. Your Relationship Manager speaks to each family first and shares only the few profiles that fit, with biodata and photos.

Gujarati, Punjabi and newer Indian families in New Zealand

Gujarati families have lived in New Zealand for generations, many starting in small business and retail, and Punjabi families have a long history in farming and business there. Most Indian families today live in Auckland, with others in Wellington, Hamilton and Christchurch.

Younger families often came to study and then settled, so the son or daughter is in New Zealand while the parents are in India. Parents ask whether a match from India would be willing to move to New Zealand, and how residency works for a spouse. We raise these points with the other family early.

Auckland

Many families have relatives across the Tasman, which widens the search.

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

How families in New Zealand work with us

New Zealand is six and a half hours ahead of India, and seven and a half during New Zealand daylight saving. A late afternoon call in New Zealand falls in the morning in Kolkata, so we fix the first video call in that window, with parents in India joining or visiting 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, after speaking to the other family first. When both sides agree, we arrange the family meeting, often on video when families are in different countries, and follow up with both sides afterwards.

Questions from families in New Zealand

We live in Auckland. Can you search for a Gujarati match in India too?

Yes. Gujarati is one of the languages our matchmakers speak, and we search among Gujarati families in New Zealand, India, Australia and other countries. Your Relationship Manager asks each family whether they are open to the couple living in New Zealand before sharing any profile with you.

What hours can we reach you from New Zealand?

Our office works Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm IST. New Zealand is six and a half hours ahead of India, or seven and a half during daylight saving, so our morning is your late afternoon or evening. We call back every enquiry within 24 hours.

Which package is right for a family in New Zealand?

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

Do you have anyone in New Zealand we can meet?

No. Pavitra Rishta has one office, in Kolkata, and serves families everywhere else from there. New Zealand families meet us on video, and parents in India can visit the office at 174, C.R. Avenue. On the Elite package, Saket Kejriwal meets your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does.
