In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World, Rajkumar Mundel, Co-founder of MarriageMate, shares insights into how the platform empowers users to connect. He also highlights its key differentiating features, discusses market reception, explores the additional services offered, and outlines his long-term vision for the future.
Q: Could you share more details about your matrimony platform, MarriageMate?
A: MarriageMate is a matrimony platform that helps users find a compatible partner in just a 10-minute call. Whether you’re seeking love, an arranged marriage, or simply exploring connections, we welcome all. Our platform is location-independent, catering to users across India. As India’s most affordable date-to-marry platform, MarriageMate focuses on connecting individuals with those who truly complement them, no matter the nature of their journey.
Q: Could you elaborate on the range of services your platform offers to users?
A: We don’t just offer services; we provide a platform where you can connect with someone who aligns with your interests and astrological insights. Through a meaningful 10-minute call, you can also engage with a verified match, selected based on a thoughtful combination of education, astrology, and numerology.
Q: How does your platform facilitate connections for users who wish to reach out to others?
A: Users can effortlessly swipe through profiles, finding the one they’re interested in. Once they do, they simply click to schedule a call or pay a fee of 49 rupees. Both parties receive a notification confirming the scheduled call, based on the availability of the other user. By selecting an available slot, users can book the call and secure the time. Moreover, the process is straightforward: pay the 49 rupees, schedule the call, and connect at the designated time—much like setting up a formal meeting.
Q: What kind of response have you received from the market so far?
A: We currently have over 500 users, with 25 percent identifying as female and 75 percent as male. At present, we are focusing on the tech community, as our platform is not yet available in all languages. Therefore, our primary target is tier-one cities and tech professionals.
Q: What sets your platform apart from others in the market?
A: Unlike other platforms, we don’t follow a simple “accept or reject” policy. We pride ourselves on being affordable, charging just 49 rupees, while others demand 10,000 or 11,000 rupees. Additionally, unlike other companies that share your private number without consent—often hidden in the terms when you register on their site—we protect your privacy. You pay only 49 rupees per scheduled meeting—no hidden fees, no sharing of personal information.
Q: What additional services does your platform offer to users?
A: Currently, we offer no other services. Astrology, however, functions as an internal service, provided at no charge. When it comes to our astrological offerings, if you share your birth time, place, and date, our AI algorithm performs a modern analysis based on traditional methods. Traditionally, these calculations were done manually with pen and paper to assess the alignment of various characteristics and attributes.
Now, we handle this process internally, and based on the results, we present a profile designed to enhance your understanding. This profile offers insights into your love life, education, temperament, and the dynamics of your interactions with others—beginning in the initial phase, progressing through mid-life, and extending into later years. While this process is internal, it is fully accessible to you on our platform, allowing you to explore these aspects in greater detail.
Q: How do you ensure the authenticity and reliability of the process on your platform?
A: Our platform ensures authenticity through two simple verification methods. First, we require selfie verification. You simply take a selfie to confirm your identity. Second, we offer Aadhaar-based verification for added security. We keep the process straightforward, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Q: What is your vision for the future of your platform?
A: Our vision is focused on the next two decades, as we aim to serve the generation for whom we are building these platforms—Gen Z. We are targeting 30-40% of Gen Z and their children. This long-term approach is driven by the evolving nature of family connections.
In the past, my grandparents and parents built their networks within their villages, where they knew everyone. But today, I find myself sitting in a Gurudwara, surrounded by strangers, with no connections or links. This shift also highlights the growing need for online platforms. Over the next two decades, online platforms for matchmaking will experience a boom, becoming essential for building connections in an increasingly disconnected world.
