FAQs
Our Members & Memberships
Our members represent All Our India & International of society and demand nothing but the best quality of service that money can buy. When entrusting us as a matrimonial search firm they know that we are anchored in our core values. The team experience and empathy we offer our clients through the process makes us truly proud of the service we deliver.
We count industrialists, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and successful corporate professionals across the world among our members. What truly binds them together is the fact that whilst each of our members are successful, well-travelled, progressive, cosmopolitan individuals, they are yet to find that one special person they want to share their life with.
On one hand love is such a raw and powerful emotion and on the other it brings with it so much softness, anchoring, emotional security and friendship. With the right person this partnership is truly magical. About 60% of our members across various age groups are looking to experience this “magic” for the first time. They have not experienced a marital relationship before and are looking for the commitment and sense of belonging that marriage brings. While someone is not incomplete without a partner, having someone special come into your life to make it even more beautiful is what they desire.
No-one gets into a marriage thinking it won’t be “forever”. However sometimes, despite one’s best efforts, things don’t work out the way we would like them to. When that does occur, it feels like one’s world will come crashing down, the security blanket that we once thought we had is gone. Some people have the courage to walk away from their marriage, and with time and healing look at restarting life. They are the “believers”. Believing in the beauty of love and the magic that comes with holding the hand of someone you love. About 30% of our members are “believers” across various age groups, looking to find love, stability and forever one more time.
For those over 55, life and its experiences has given them wisdom and taught both resilience and acceptance. They have the ability to bounce back from adversity and to keep their zest for life, laughter, sharing, dreaming and finding love at a later stage. For them, it’s about accepting that very little in life goes as planned and believing in the power of “possibilities”. About 10% of our members are over 55 and believe in “possibilities”.
These percentages do change over a period of time but they are currently in the ballpark range of :
Age: 70% of our members are between 24-40
30% are below 24 or over 40
Location: About 45% are located across the US
40% are in India and
15% are in Europe and the rest of Asia

The Private Club:
Our Private Club members are used to nothing but the best in life; with an extraordinary drive to carry forward their legacies, the world is their oyster yet they are deeply rooted in their culture and values. Whilst they have limitless options and access to almost anything that money can buy they are fiercely private and extremely selective about who they allow in.
We are one of those they do; and we have over the last decade earned that.
Our Founder-CEO, Mr. Nilesh Kumar is the matchmaker for our Private Club members, who belong to well-established business or industrialist families. She brings a decade of matchmaking experience, a strong sense of intuitiveness and an understanding of cultural nuances which are so integral to the fabric of the search which is as much an art as it is a skill. Over the years she has lived in Melbourne, London, Los Angeles, New York and now San Francisco but having been born and raised in India as well as her specialization in psychology uniquely equips her in understanding people, their vulnerabilities and life journeys and brings a coveted east meets west perspective. She believes that the more you know someone, the easier it is to connect them to other like-minded individuals. Her education, coupled with her vast experience as a matchmaker, uniquely equips her to understand people, their vulnerabilities and their life journeys, all of which are critical in finding the right partner. Anuradha currently splits her time between the US and India.
The special curated search that we build entirely around our members’ criteria involves a mix of hand holding, often bridging the gap between generations, to one of marrying the traditional with the modern which resonates deeply with our members. Traditionally matchmaking has been about families, similar socio-economic backgrounds and cultures, we integrate all of that and weave that in by keeping at the heart of the search two individuals who share similar value systems, chemistry and dreams. As a result, our service is as bespoke and discreet as it is nuanced and complex in its ask, with no place for algorithms.
- Our process starts with video call or a face-to-face meeting with the Executive Vice President (Memberships) to discuss what we bring to the table and if we have a mutual fit.
- Once a member, there is a video call/ face to face meeting (travel permitting) with Anuradha and at least a video call with the family which collectively lasts between 3-5 hours.
- Direct one to one interaction with Anuradha including a monthly catch up.
- Our panel of Wellness Experts is available to our Private Club members as required. Anuradha will recommend experts based on the unique needs of each member for the duration of their membership.
- On request we also offer sessions with both, our in-house Relationship Expert as well as our Image Consultant.
- Given the criteria and expectations of this tier of membership there are no defined number of profiles that are committed to. Thankfully our members whilst being extremely selective and specific are equally realistic!
- We provide a dossier on potential matches.
- Only in this tier, do we approach families and individuals beyond our member base by leveraging off our preferred, highly coveted networks to further enhance the search if needed.
- Our Concierge Service will help two individuals that have agreed to meet each other diarise the meeting so it can take place at the earliest opportunity.

This depends on the tier of membership you are signed up for.
Our experience at 7FERA JODII has led us to believe that age and stage in life both play an important role in determining the pace of a search. The life experiences of those 37 years and older make them very confident about what they are looking for in a life partner as well as very sure of their deal breakers, thereby making the search much more selective and specialized.
We feel a sense of accomplishment with our approx 22-24% success rate even though we are constantly working to better the graph. Through Covid, these numbers have certainly dipped but as things normalize, we hope that our numbers will be back on track as more people return to looking for strong partnerships and marriage as they journey through life.

Our Process & More
- We offer a bespoke, confidential and global matchmaking service based on value systems and personality fits.
- We do not match make on the basis of caste and community.
- Our search is an offline one because we believe this space of our life is very personal and private.
- Our members consist of successful professionals, entrepreneurs, celebrities and industrialists – ranging from those totally self-made to those born into affluence and a life of privilege.
- We don’t work with Biodata because this is not a job application!
- We invest time in getting to know our members better; their childhood, family members and their life experiences. Over the years we have found this significantly helps in increasing the matchmaking success rates.
- Our focus is quality over quantity, with a strong eligibility criterion that needs to be met to qualify to become a member.
- It starts with you completing the “apply for membership” form.
Someone from our team will contact you to better understand both – what you are looking for as well as to understand your background.
If you qualify, and decide that you would like to become a member please let the team member you spoke to know. We will then email you a sign up link, which you use to complete the sign up formalities and set up your confidential profile.
No matchmaking happens until we have either met with you personally or have had a video call (depending on the package) to better understand what you are looking for.
No matchmaking happens until we have either met with you personally or have had a video call (depending on the package) to better understand what you are looking for.
We place a very strong emphasis on feedback and really believe that you need to be very proactive in getting the most out of the search. We work with you to achieve your goal of finding a life partner, however the more feedback you share with us on the profiles sent, the more we can fine-tune the search and the better the results.
No, we are an online, curated confidential search. Our website is the only thing that is online so that our members can communicate with us no matter where they are based. We share shortlisted profiles and no one person can see another’s details other than when shared by us as part of matchmaking.
The tangible component consists of things like education, accomplishments, income and family background to the more intangible components like mindsets.
We wish we could say yes. Unfortunately, the most important things in life don’t come with a guarantee. Sometimes things work and sometimes, despite best efforts they just don’t. What we can guarantee is that your search will be done with utmost confidentiality, care and personalization.
No. As stated in our Terms and Conditions, 7FERA JODII does not conduct criminal background checks on any of our members. There are a number of reasons for this including (but not limited to) incomplete or inaccurate criminal record databases. Background checks may provide subscribers with a false sense of security, and we do not want our members to have unrealistic expectations when using our services.
We strongly encourage our members to report any concerning behavior or information about their matches to 7fera@7fera.in. We will investigate each and every report, and take any appropriate action that is necessary, including termination of a member’s subscription.
Please make sure to read the Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy before you sign up.
Our close knit team consists of strong, independent women between 30-65 years of age from cultured and privileged backgrounds based in various parts of the world. They have gone through their own share of experiences and are driven by wanting to make a difference, however small, in the life of someone else. At the heart of all your interaction we hope you will see the same things we do, in terms of reliability and a strong sense of integrity which each team member intrinsically carries with them.
You can read more about the team here: “our team”
Our member information is confidential and we do not share it with non-members.
No. The search is built up over a period of time with a lot of effort and time that is put in to get to know the person and connect them to other likeminded people. There is no quick fix or turn around and hence the concept of trial is not relevant.
We wish we could share the love stories that have been born at 7FERA JODII but given the highly confidential nature of our service, maintaining the privacy of our members is a big responsibility and something we take very seriously. Having said that a significant number of our members come to us through referrals which to us is validation of the positive experience people have with us in the majority of instances.
If belong to a faith/community/caste that is not well represented within your members, would 7FERA JODII still be able to help me?
Sharing profiles is what we commit to in our various memberships. Introductions are made only after both people say yes to a profile. The number of profiles committed to are therefore different from the amount of introductions made.
Payments & More
One can pay via cheque, bank transfer or online using a credit/debit card.
We do not offer any refunds.
Membership fees are non-refundable. Please make sure you understand how our service works and carefully read through our terms and conditions before you sign up.
The membership fee is payable in full at the onset.
The Bigger Picture
We have never been about arranged marriages, only about arranged introductions. In today’s day and time it’s even more important that two people get to know each other enough, to at the very least be comfortable with each other. Not everyone who found their loved one through us has had a love marriage, but they certainly share that space where two people feel comfortable with each other. We strongly encourage our members to give each other the chance and time to be friends before talking about any next steps.
As we move away from our homes and our known social circles it becomes exceedingly tougher, especially with age, to expand our social network, making it even more difficult to meet that special person. There is also a certain emotional “investment” required when getting to know someone and that vetting process can be difficult and unsuccessful for a lot of people. That is where we come in. We connect people who are aligned on things that really matter in a lifelong partnership, giving them both a platform and access through the global reach that we enjoy. We also execute a significant part of the vetting process by sharing only shortlisted profiles based on your key criteria.
Our members are well educated, successful and global in their thought process. And most of all they are realistic enough to be aware of the challenges that exist when it comes to finding their partner and smart enough to know that it doesn’t hurt to be introduced to other like-minded people, especially by a service like ours that has both the sensibilities that members can relate to and the outreach that they are looking for.
If this sounds like the kind of person you want to be with, get in touch with us.
We view marriage the way it’s meant to have always been – as an equal partnership. One where two people bring respect, love, friendship and integrity as the building blocks to cement a relationship. They decide to share their life because they are better together.
