Abstract

Indians are utilizing the Web in more frequent, varied areas than ever before, with Internet usage spanning both daily tasks as well as life’s landmark events. It has been increasingly commonplace to find Indian businesses and consumers buying and selling household necessities, such as clothing, and sharing daily advice on the Internet, but recently though, significant, personal milestones, such as marriage matchmaking, are finding their places on the Web. The advent of e-Matrimony is especially bringing marked improvements to a long, sometimes awkward rite of passage in India. And by taking advantage of the booming Internet population, these e-Commerce sites are especially well-positioned for enormous subscriber and revenue growth in the next three-five years.

More importantly, Indian Matrimony Sites are emerging as leading candidates in controlling access to a majority of future, Web-based personal services/products: because of the still-evolving, online behavior of the average consumer, these marriage match-making destinations have an advantage in creating lifelong, customer stickiness with the developing, Indian Web-user. This position of strength could very well change the future, Internet landscape in one of the largest, national economies in the coming years.

This report captures the e-Matrimony industry's current position, trends, challenges, and outlook by interviewing top industry executives. The highlight of the report is an analytical framework showing how Indian, e-marital sites will need to develop in order to succeed.
