Dr. Priya Shah began her matchmaking journey in 1991, initially as a social service within her
family, friends and social circle. Having married at the young age of 18, she was determined to
challenge the traditional arranged marriage system. At the time, marriage choices were often
made by parents without much input from the individuals themselves. Dr. Shah firmly believed
that both partners should have a say in their marriage and this belief motivated her to start
matchmaking, driven by a deep desire to improve relationships and societal norms.
What began as a small, fee-free social service soon grew as word spread. Through the success
stories of happy marriages, her reputation as a trusted matchmaker expanded. As demand
increased, she began charging a nominal fee, but her commitment to her clients remained
unwavering. Over the years, Dr. Shah has honed her expertise in matchmaking, working with people
of all religions, castes and backgrounds, each with their own unique preferences and
personalities.
Marriage is one of life’s biggest commitments and many individuals, along with their families, often
face confusion or anxiety about the process. Dr. Shah recognized this concern and began offering
counseling to both clients and their parents. This helped them make informed, confident decisions
about choosing the right life partner and preparing for the responsibilities of married
life.
As a happily married woman herself since 1990, Dr. Shah gained invaluable insights from her own
experiences, which she eagerly shared with others. In 2004, she decided to document these learnings
and launched a publication dedicated to marriage advice. The best part? She made it available
completely free of cost, aiming to educate society on the many aspects of marriage and
relationships.
Through over a decade of counseling, Dr. Shah gained a profound understanding of the challenges and thought processes people face when contemplating marriage. She recognized that many issues could be resolved with the right knowledge and advice. Motivated by this, she created a publication focused on the practical aspects of married life.

Dr. Shah's goal was not just to make happy marriages, but to ensure that they were long-lasting, healthy and fulfilling. She passionately believes that successful marriages create a strong foundation for future generations. As she puts it, “Happy marriages create happy parents, happy children and ultimately, better citizens of India.”
Dr. Shah’s commitment to social service extends beyond marriage counseling. Her passion for improving society led her to focus on issues like child welfare, education and the prevention of child marriage. She has been instrumental in addressing many social issues that affect the underprivileged, particularly children.
As a trustee of Shri Jinendra Vaibhav Sanstha, Dr. Shah has worked tirelessly for the welfare of underprivileged children, especially those from poor families where both parents work long hours. In 2000, she launched a child welfare program in Mumbai’s slums, starting with just 10 children. Today, the program supports over 100 children between the ages of 1 and 8, providing them with food, education and healthcare.
Her efforts include :
Providing Hot Meals and Education
Children from economically disadvantaged
families receive nutritious meals, snacks and pre-school education during the day while their
parents are at work.
Stopping Child Marriages
Dr. Shah has helped prevent over 500 child
marriages, which often have severe, lifelong consequences for young girls. She remains dedicated
