Our Story

Built for the moment that changes everything

Modern Marriage Bureau is the platform we wish had existed when we were looking for our own forever person.

"We built Modern Marriage Bureau because we believed that finding a life partner deserved the same thoughtfulness as every other major life decision — backed by intelligence, honesty, and an experience worthy of the moment."

— Tariq Hassan & Priya Mehta, Co-Founders

Our Story

Born from a personal search

Modern Marriage Bureau was founded in 2022 by Tariq Hassan and Priya Mehta — two people who had each spent years navigating outdated, cluttered matrimonial websites that felt more like job boards than a path to love.

Tariq, a computer scientist, and Priya, a UX researcher, decided to build something different: a platform where intelligence meets elegance, where cultural nuance is respected, and where every member feels safe and seen.

They raised their first round in 2023, launched in beta to 50,000 users across South Asia, the Middle East, and the UK — and within a year, had facilitated over 100,000 meaningful connections.

Our Values

What guides everything we build

🕊️

Dignity First

Every member deserves to feel respected and safe. We build every feature with dignity as the baseline, not an afterthought.

🎯

Genuine Connection

We optimise for long-term compatibility, not engagement metrics. Fewer, better matches beat an endless scroll every time.

🌍

Global, Yet Local

We respect the cultural, religious, and regional diversity of our members. No one-size-fits-all approach to something as personal as marriage.

🔬

Science-Backed

Our matching algorithm is built with relationship researchers and continuously validated against real-world outcomes.

🔒

Privacy by Design

Your data is yours. We collect only what we need, protect it rigorously, and never sell it — ever.

💡

Radical Transparency

We tell you how our algorithm works, what data we use, and why — because trust is the foundation of every relationship, including ours with you.

Backed by the best

Modern Marriage Bureau has raised $48M from investors who believe in a better future for how people find love.
