Our entry into the Limca Book of Records is a true testimony to our commitment of being a responsible and innovative matrimonial website.”

In the recent past, BharatMatrimony Group had received US $8.65 million investment from two of the world’s leading companies in the technology and Internet space, Yahoo! Inc., and Canaan Partners.

The company plans to open offices in UK and in key South East Asian markets to cater to the Indian Diaspora and plans to open up religion / country based matrimony portals soon.
