Indian matchmaking for NRI families in the UKFor British Indian families and their parents in India

Pavitra Rishta is an offline, personal marriage bureau, started in Kolkata in 2006 by Sunil Kejriwal and Priyanka Kejriwal. For Indian families in the UK, we look for a suitable match among Gujarati, Jain, Punjabi, Marwari and Maheshwari families in Britain, elsewhere abroad and in India. Some of these families have been in Britain for two or three generations, many of them by way of East Africa, while others moved recently for work or study. The first meeting takes place on a video call at a time that suits both countries. A dedicated Relationship Manager speaks to each family first and shares only the few suitable profiles that fit. NRI families choose the Elite or Signature package.

Grandparents and relatives in India can meet us at our Kolkata office, which helps when the family is spread across two countries. With India only 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead, a call in the British morning or at lunchtime reaches our office during working hours.

Indian families across Britain

Britain has one of the oldest Indian communities abroad. Gujarati families, many of whom came from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, are closely linked with Leicester and with North West London around Wembley and Harrow. Punjabi families are well known in Southall and in the Midlands. Jain families have their own close community networks in London and Leicester. Alongside them is a newer group of young Indians who came for a degree or a job in the City, in medicine or in technology.

For a British-born boy or girl, families ask about upbringing, language at home and how closely the family keeps its customs. For someone who moved recently, the questions are about visa status, indefinite leave to remain or citizenship, and whether the couple will stay in the UK or return to India.

London: Wembley, Harrow and Southall are long-standing Indian neighbourhoods, alongside professionals across the city.
Leicester: A large Gujarati community, many of whom came to Britain from East Africa.
The Midlands: Birmingham and nearby towns with established Punjabi and Gujarati families.
Recent movers: Young Indians on work or student visas, with parents still in India.

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

How families in the UK work with us

India is 4.5 hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and 5.5 hours ahead in winter. That makes a UK morning or lunchtime call easy, since it falls in the Indian afternoon or evening. The first meeting is on video, and parents in India can join or meet us at our Kolkata office. On the Elite package, Saket Kejriwal meets your family personally, and on Signature, founder Sunil Kejriwal does.

Your Relationship Manager then shortlists suitable profiles, speaks to the other family first, and shares biodata and photos only with consent. Once both sides approve, the family meeting is set up, online or in India during a visit, and followed up with both families.

Questions from families in the UK

My son was born and brought up in London, will families in India accept him?

Many do, especially families who are open to their daughter living in the UK. We share how he was raised, the language spoken at home and the family's customs, so the other side has a true picture. Your Relationship Manager speaks to each family first before any profile reaches you.

We are a Gujarati family in Leicester, do you speak Gujarati?

Yes. Our team speaks Gujarati, Hindi, English, Punjabi, Rajasthani and Marwari. We work with Gujarati, Jain, Punjabi, Marwari and Maheshwari families, in the UK and in India, and every enquiry gets a call back within 24 hours. Many Leicester families came to Britain by way of East Africa, and that family history is noted in the profile.

What is the time difference between the UK and your office?

India is 4.5 hours ahead of the UK in summer and 5.5 hours ahead in winter. Our office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm IST, which is roughly the UK morning to early afternoon. Calls in the UK evening can be arranged with your Relationship Manager.
