In an interview with Condé Nast Traveller India, Sima explained, “I go and meet the boy and the family, see what their home is like, where they work, where they have been to school. 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.” “I only work with high-profile clients. In India when I meet clients, they usually have a working wedding budget in mind. So based on that golden number, I quote the price that I charge as a lump sum,” she added.
Indian Matchmaking Season 2 is available for streaming on Netflix.
