Part 2 of Indian Matchmaking Is all this even real?  I googled it, & yes, all the candidates are REAL! Do they not understand that these are private moments and they would become the target of umpteen memes all over India? The only reason I could think of these people wanting to do this show is  for publicity. I do not list money , since  some of them are obviously into serious money. I just cannot relate to this logic, & that's what caused me to "Hate/Like” this serial the most.  The issue of matchmaking by professionals is the other one that has added to the controversy.  Matchmaking , like one candidate said, is like "Tinder- Pro... with Parents involved". If people can be matched by Tinder & Bumble, then what is wrong with matchmakers. The statement of "compromise & adjustment" has made more memes than even Trump! I think Sima Taparia comes across as too overpowering. Many matchmakers end their brief, at the point when they introduce the family or couple to each other . Like Sima Auntie says, if the stars are not aligned, then all her efforts will go to waste. I speak this from experience, 35 years ago, & even 5 years ago. The idea of asking the candidate what is your criteria, etc may seem quaint & professional, but i think most youngsters are too confused to articulate all this to a near stranger. In addition, none (barring one, which the Insta feed of the guy confirms broke up the next day!)  of the matches ended up in "Holy Matrimony''! These add to the "Meme- worthiness" of Sima Auntie, I felt. Concept of matchmakers is not new, is not going to go away. Matrimonial ads exist for years, as well as Matrimonial websites. Dating sites & apps are not new either. Young people need to meet, to find love & their soulmate.In African Society the medicine docs do this service. I have seen European ads, on the front page of FT, of matchmakers selling their services. We all have friends, who are the perpetual matchmaker! So, its acceptable in many cultures , many geographies, & across years of the existence of marriages!  Must Watch for all who are interested in how the social fabric of India works!

Online matchmaking businesses in India have many ways to woo

“IT WAS 2012…I was number 37,” says Ashwini, referring to the badge that was pinned on her shirt pocket. Her task was to go onto the stage and introduce herself to around 70 eligible bachelors and their parents. Families then conferred and, provided caste and religious background proved no obstacle, would approach the event’s moderator asking to meet number 37. At midday girls would wait for prospects to swing by, again with parents on either side. A brief exchange might establish the potential bride’s cooking skills or her intention to work after marriage. If the two sides hit it off, they would exchange copies of their horoscopes. Nearly 50 men lined up to meet Ashwini that day, speed-dating style. No one made the cut. She later married a colleague.

Such gatherings form an important part of the wedding industry, worth around $50bn a year, in a country where arranged marriages continue to be the norm. India has 440m millennials—roughly, the generation born between 1980 and 1996—and a further 390m youngsters have been born since 2000, so there are plenty of anguished parents for marriage facilitators to pitch to. KPMG, a consultancy, estimates that out of 107m single men and women, 63m are “active seekers”. For now, only a tenth surf the internet to find a spouse. But the number who do is about to explode, argue executives in the marriage-portal business (India has 2,600 such sites). “After Facebook [took off], people are more open about their lives than ever before, which has had a great knock-on effect,” says Gourav Rakshit of Shaadi.com, one of India’s oldest matrimonial sites.

Take Matrimony.com, the country’s biggest online matchmaker, which raised $78m in its initial public offering on September 13th. Its shares began trading this week. It runs 300-odd websites in 15 languages, catering to different castes and religions. It has sites for divorcees, the disabled, the affluent (“Elite Matrimony”) and for those with unfavourable astrological charts, which make it difficult to find a match. All online firms run a “freemium” model: upload your profile at no charge and let an algorithm match horoscope details with potential partners filtered by age, caste, education, income and sometimes (alas) complexion. Or you can pay for features like instant chat or a colourful border around your profile to ensure the algorithm returns you as a top search result.

Such a long list of options means that finding a match on the web can be time-consuming and tedious. “It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,” says one suitor. Predictably, many also complain that online profiles often do not reflect reality. Outright fakes remain a scourge. This month a man was arrested in Delhi for extorting over 5m rupees ($77,700) from 15 women by luring them on matrimonial websites. And no amount of artificial intelligence can yet identify what will make two youngsters click.

Spouseup, a south Indian startup, is undaunted. It trawls social media to determine a candidate’s personality and recommends matches by calculating a “compatibility score”. Nine-tenths of its 50,000 users are non-resident Indians who usually fly to India for a month or so, scout for partners, settle on one, get hitched and fly back together. For these time-starved travellers, the machine-led scouring “provides an insight that would come from five coffee dates,” says Karthik Iyer, the firm’s founder. Banihal, which is based in Silicon Valley, relies on a long psychometric questionnaire of around 100 questions to match like-minded partners.

Real-world complements to online efforts can help secure a match. Some services, such as IITIIMShaadi.com, aimed at people graduating from prestigious universities, also act as conventional wedding-brokers, by meeting prospects on their clients’ behalf. The job is no different from that of a headhunter, says Taksh Gupta, its founder. He charges anywhere between 50,000 and 200,000 rupees for the service. His most recent catch, after a search lasting over two years, was a husband for a 45-year-old woman from a prestigious university who would settle for no less than an Ivy League groom. Matrimony.com, too, has over 400 “relationship managers” and 140 physical outlets.

“The opportunity is huge”, enthuses Murugavel Janakiraman, boss of Matrimony.com. Around four-fifths of new customers now come via smartphones, lured by instant alerts about new potential matches and services that match up people in the same town. But the spread of smartphones also brings competition. Casual-dating apps are spreading fast. Tinder, on which decisions about eligibility rarely benefit from parental advice, now counts India as Asia’s largest, fastest-growing market.

5 New Travel Startups From India That Have Momentum

Skift Take: India's public company stars MakeMyTrip and Yatra get all the attention in travel. But several startups have the execution chops and the support of experts like Sequoia Capital and Amadeus to thrive in providing services to the country's online population, now numbering more than 400 million.

— Sean O'Neill

India’s startup sector is buoyant. Entrepreneurs are racing to provide services for the country’s online population, now numbering more than 400 million.

Travel-focused startups are thriving — OYO Rooms and ZO Rooms are perhaps the two best-known examples. More new travel startups will be spotlighted as best-known examples. More new travel startups will be spotlighted at a summit in New Delhi next month.

The hottest travel startup at the moment is probably Ixigo, a travel search company. After several shifts in its business focus since its 2007 founding, the Gurgaon-based company hit its stride in the past couple of years by becoming a multi-modal marketplace for hotels, activities, air fares, cabs, and train tickets — including a rail booking app, which has been downloaded nine million times.

This winter Sequoia Capital India and the Chinese conglomerate Fosun are said to be looking to invest. Ixigo has already raised $18 million from investors like SAIF Partners and MakeMyTrip.

Here are five more Indian travel startups we’re tracking…

PressPlay is an on-demand content startup that is like if Netflix and Gogo had a love child. It has installed 3,000 wifi hotspots on trains, long-distance buses, railway platforms, shuttles, hotels, and other travel areas to let users stream the company’s archive of video content without paying for internet data consumption— its so-called “over-the-top content” delivery model. It makes money by selling ads.

>>Skift Take: PressPlay has rocketed since it changed models from when we briefly mentioned it in 2014 as a company that (at the time) rented tablets pre-loaded with content. It has raised more than $2 million in seed funding, with investors including Sequoia Capital India and angel investor Jason Hirschhorn.

SavvyMob is a HotelTonight clone for India, enabling hotels to offer mobile-only, last-minute customers discounted rates without launching a price war on their main distribution channels. A year ago, this Bangalore-based business raised $1 million.

>>Skift Take: While HotelTonight has lost some of it early buzz according to The Information, SavvyMob’s specific approach to appeal to Indian millennials via its Android and iOS mobile apps (and its curated approach to selling distressed inventory from more than 160 hotels in 20 cities) could prove sustainable, despite competition from RoomsTonite, which has raised $1.5 million.

MindYourFleet, a software-as-a-service platform for car rental and ground transportation companies, provides business-to-business tools for fleet owners to manage their operations, optimize their inventory, and track demand from their corporate clients, online travel companies, and retail customers, in a unified platform. MindYourFleet has signed up several of India’s biggest car rental, cab, and tour brands, such as Fab Cars and Metro Cabs.

>>Skift Take: Founded in 2014, MindYourFleet has gained traction, as legacy players try to catch up with new entrants like Ola and Uber. It has processed more than 100,000 bookings. This month, MindYour Fleet was invited into the Amadeus Next Community, which will give it access to new technology, mentors, and a customer network. That should help it scale.

Repup is a guest-engagement software provider for hotels. This month TripAdvisor made it an official review collection partner. On the strength of that partnership, the two-year-old startup expects to grow from the 20,000 rooms it has listed today to more than 700,000 by year-end.

>>Skift Take: Repup is bringing a version of the early Revinate/ReviewPro/TrustYou model to Indian properties. That model has been proven to work elsewhere. Repup helps cope with an issue that keeps many general managers up at three in the morning: “How can I improve my TripAdvisor score?”

CurrencyKart launched in February 2016 and is led by CEO Neha Gupta. She has essentially built a matchmaking site that helps travelers find money changers in several major cities.

>>Skift Take: CurrencyKart has signed a deal for promotion on online travel agency Yatra, which should amp up business. But the startup will have to execute cautiously. Several Indian startups based on the marketplace model have struggled in India, such as Tushky, a tours-and-activities marketplace that shut down last year.
