Indian matchmaking for NRI families in the USAFor sons and daughters settled across America

Pavitra Rishta is an offline, personal marriage bureau founded in Kolkata in 2006 by Sunil Kejriwal and Priyanka Kejriwal. For Indian families in the USA, we search for a suitable match for a son or daughter who studied or works there, among Marwari, Jain, Gujarati, Punjabi and Maheshwari families in America and in India. Many of these families live around New York, New Jersey, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Houston and Dallas, while the grandparents or the parents themselves are still in India. The first meeting happens on a video call at an hour that suits both countries. A dedicated Relationship Manager then speaks to the other family first and shares only the few suitable profiles that fit. NRI families choose the Elite or Signature package.

Parents in India are welcome at our Kolkata office at 174, C.R. Avenue. Many families split the work this way, with the son or daughter in America and the parents in India.

Indian families in the USA and what they look for

Many of the young men and women we hear about from the USA went there for a master's degree and stayed on in technology, finance, medicine or their own business. The question families raise first is usually the future home. Some couples plan to build their life in America, others expect to return to India in a few years, and some want to keep both doors open.

Residency status matters to both sides. A family will want to know whether the boy or girl is a US citizen, holds a green card or is on a work visa such as the H-1B, because it shapes where the couple can live and work. We put these questions on the table early, so the other family hears them before any meeting.

New York and New Jersey
A large Indian business and professional population, with Gujarati families well represented in New Jersey.
San Francisco Bay Area
Engineers and founders in the technology industry, many of them from families with a business background in India.
Chicago
An established Indian community with doctors, professionals and traders.
Houston and Dallas
Texas cities where Indian families work in energy, medicine, technology and their own businesses.
Parents in India
Often in Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Gujarat or Rajasthan, and closely involved in every decision.

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

How families in the USA work with us

India is roughly 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of the USA, depending on the coast and daylight saving. On the East Coast that usually means a call in your evening or early morning, which lands in the Indian morning or evening. The first meeting is on a video call, and parents in India can join from home or 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 keeps in touch by phone and video. Biodata and photos of each shortlisted profile reach you with the other family's consent, and yours go out only with your permission. When both sides approve, we arrange the family meeting, whether online across two countries or in India during a visit home, and follow up with both families afterwards.

Questions from families in the USA

My son works in the USA on an H-1B visa, will Indian families still consider him?

Yes, many families are open to it. Visa status is one of the first things we share with the other family, along with whether your son plans to stay in America or return to India. Being open about this early saves time on both sides. Your Relationship Manager speaks to the other family before any profile is shared.

How does the first meeting work if we live in New Jersey and our parents live in Kolkata?

The first meeting is a video call at a time that suits both countries, often your evening and the Indian morning. Your parents can join from home or meet us at our office at 174, C.R. Avenue, Kolkata. Office hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm IST, and we call back every enquiry within 24 hours.

Which package can NRI families in America take?

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

Can you find a match for my daughter who wants to settle in India after marriage?

Yes. Many American-raised or American-educated girls and boys want to return to India, and many families in India want exactly that. We search among Marwari, Jain, Gujarati, Punjabi and Maheshwari families in India and abroad, and the plan to settle in India is shared with every family we speak to.
