DoYouDesi - tradition of Desi arranged marriages now online
Even though the western world has almost completely turned to online dating as means to find potential partners, there are still cultures from other parts of the world that nurture old traditions, such as arranged marriages. This is still particularly present in the Desi (South Asian) population. An entrepreneur in the UK, of Desi origin, has started a very specific online "dating" service that is all about providing a more sophisticated, modern way for people to find potential partners for an arranged marriage.
The service is called DoYouDesi.com, and the man behind it is Sonny Kumar.
"www.DoYouDesi.com has been established to bring together people of the Desi community, of which there are 50 million globally. South Asian's have been social butterflies for thousands of years and so such a gregarious community is bound to hit it off online, it has always been a natural progression in my eyes…"
The idea is to create a community of people where each individual is vouched for by his friends, which helps bring people together that indeed belong together in marriage. In a way, it's only natural since in reality most people meet someone special by being introduced to them through a mutual friend.
