In Conversation With Vidya Gupta, MD Elite Marriage Bureau
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.
