What is Sima Taparia’s process of making matches?
If you thought matchmaking was an easy business, this would be the time to burst that bubble. In an interview with CN Traveller, Sima Taparia revealed her tried and tested approach that she follows with all her clients.
“I go and meet the boy and the family, see what their home is like, where they work, where they have been to school,” she revealed. “This helps me assess their lifestyles so I can recommend a match that is on an even keel. This is where Tinder, Bumble and Shaadi.com can’t compete. I get to the bottom of things, finding out all the inside stories, the family’s values and other such details you would never get from looking at a person’s online profile.”

Having been in a successful arranged marriage herself, Sima Taparia is a staunch believer in the concept of arranged marriages. She got married at 19 to Anup Taparia, and started setting up people as a hobby. She started a service called Suitable Rishtas, where her clientele was only Marwaris — people from the Marwar region of Rajasthan, India. From a humble beginning to becoming one of India’s top matchmakers today, Sima Taparia has truly globalised her business.
