In a day and age where finding a life partner is turning into a bit of a sport, it helps to find extra guidance in what we truly want in a life partner. Though going out into the world and adventuring your way to a soulmate seems like a fun route, letting your loved ones find the correct fit for you doesn’t seem like too bad of an idea.

We spoke to the managing director at Elite Marriage Bureau, Vidya Gupta, to get an insight into how the matchmaking bureau helps people find their Happy Ever After…

Manifest: In your opinion, what are two things that make a match magical?

Vidya Gupta: A match becomes magical when there is undeniable chemistry and a shared vision for the future. Chemistry is about the natural connection and attraction between two individuals, often seen in their effortless communication and mutual enjoyment of each other’s company. A shared vision for the future ensures that both partners have aligned goals, values, and aspirations, providing a strong foundation for a lasting relationship.

M: As a match-making company, what are your priorities and criteria when matching two individuals?

VG: Our priorities are to ensure compatibility, confidentiality, and a personalised experience. The key criteria we consider include shared values, lifestyle preferences, family background, and long-term goals. We also place significant emphasis on mutual respect and emotional compatibility, ensuring that both individuals are likely to foster a harmonious relationship.

M: What do you think are the two biggest match-making challenges in the present day, 2024?

VG: The two biggest challenges are managing heightened expectations and ensuring privacy in the digital age. Clients today have specific and often high expectations regarding their potential partners, which can sometimes make finding a suitable match more complex. Additionally, with increasing concerns about data privacy, ensuring that client information is kept confidential and secure is a critical challenge.

Our journey has been marked by numerous success stories, which serve as a testament to our expertise and dedication in the field of elite matchmaking.

M: Are there any specific requirements that you’re seeing people voice while finding a partner nowadays?

VG: Clients today often emphasise the importance of shared values and interests, professional and educational background, and lifestyle compatibility. There is also a growing preference for partners who are emotionally intelligent, supportive and have a positive outlook on life.

M: Lastly, what would you like people to keep in mind when they start their match-making journey?

VG: It’s important to approach the matchmaking journey with an open mind and realistic expectations. Understand that building a meaningful relationship takes time, effort, and mutual respect. Be clear about your values and what you seek in a partner, but also be willing to embrace the process and the opportunities it presents.
