This is: Shaadi.com

Shaadi.com is one of the best online matrimonial services that we've come across and has around 30 million people who've signed up. Since 1996, Shaadi has been the leader in this kind of dating service for the Indian community, with over 2 million success stories.

The website is very modern, stylish, easy to use and it's one of the few that asks for feedback from their users in order to improve it even more.

You have easy access to the different languages and castes like Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam,...But you can also access the Shaadi UK site if you prefer.

You can use the "Smart search" to filter your search through 24 criteria and you also get some possible matches sent to your email and in your profile.

Shaadi.com is the world's first matrimonial website with ISO 9001:2008 Certification. This means that Shaadi.com has quality systems and processes in place to listen to you, understand your requirements and address them.

One possible inconvenience for some people will be the fact that you have to introduce your phone or landline number when you register (you can choose who views your number, though). They use this to verify new members so users can be sure they are looking at real people. And, as they state there, Shaadi.com does not share any personal details with third parties.

They also offer a mobile experience, where you can use either SMS, Voice, WAP or Mobile Application to stay connected.

Shaadi.com is so sure that you'll get contacts and matches, that if you don't have at least 1 accepted member in the first month, they will refund your entire premium membership fee.

So, there's nothing to lose and a lot to gain!. Why not give it a try?

This is: Asiansinglesolution.com

Since 2002 AsianSingleSolution.com has been the largest events and dating website for single British born Indian Asian professionals, with over 30,000 single Asians using the site every month. Their members are Hindu, Sikh and Muslim singles who are 2nd or 3rd generation British.

One of the AsianSingleSolution's leading services is the event dating. You can even hide your profile from the Online Dating service, if you are primarily interested in the events.

You can also use the messaging system to contact other members for free if you've been to an event and want to contact via web that single.

AsianSingleSolution.com has a pretty unique system that allows you to send reply paid messages so the recipients of your messages can read and reply to your message for free, that is, regardless of their membership.

This is: Jeevansathi.com

Jeevansathi.com is another one of the largest dating sites focusing on Indian matrimonials and arranged marriages, although they seem to be much bigger in India than in the UK. The majority of their members (of which 10,000 are joining daily are located in India but you can still find a couple thousand in the UK.

Jeevansathi.com has a similar web structure to the one at Shaadi.com, but not as nicely presented.

The site offers verified phone number and photo protection features as well.

One of the things that stands out at Jeevansathi.com is their approach to customer service: they have live chat and toll-free phone numbers (only in India) placed very prominently on the page.

This is: Indiancupid.com

Cupid Media (with around 30 million singles in total) is a market leader in many of its international markets, one of them being the Indian dating market.

It has a modern, user-friendly design, with multi-lingual interface and translation services and tools that break-down barriers enabling you to find love, whether locally in the UK or in India.

You can browse many Non Resident Indian (NRI) singles profiles and communicate with them via chat, email, video or instant messaging.

On your profile page you get possible matches according to your criteria. One thing we find outstanding is that they try to educate members about scammers and how to protect themselves against them.

A possible inconvenience, though, is that many profiles don't have a picture.

This is: DesiKiss.com

The Indian dating site Desi Kiss offers a platform for Indian singles all over the world (and in the UK) to chat and possibly meet up. Around 10,000 members can be counted, but there are many more in the World Singles database.

This is an online personals site rather than a marriage site. So you will find people here who’re looking for relaxed dating or just getting to know people. There are also Indians looking for marriage as well, if that’s what you’re seeking.
