People will finally head to only those which are very popular and those they get suggested by word of mouth. What is the point in all these ratings.

Its a shame that the current players are having to explore offline models to grow — suggests that we are really really falling back on Internet penetration and increased usage. Pawan, Rajiv:

Infact searching a bride or a groom through the internet itself is considered modern and not tarditional in India. Talk to afew 45-55 year old uncles looking to get their kids married. Infact till today traditional marraige centre whether they remove horoscope and physical list is taken out still works in India. But internet is catching on.. I mean open community is for dating but marraige is still influenced by parents decisions. “I feel the volumes are still amongst the ones who would still like to go with the traditional setup.” - I agree with you pawan..

I feel the volumes are still amongst the ones who would still like to go with the traditional setup. As mentioned in the post as well these matrimonial sites are moving towards offline model as to sustain better because the internet penetration is still not enough. Regarding the openness and change in Indian culture, try registering at Fropper.com and you would be surprised, not many users have entered details about themselves. They are shy, or are afraid to reveal their identity, that's because of our social structure which would take time to change. Though it's strange why we are shy in accepting that "we want to date" or "we want to get married" :) Vaibhav

This is an interesting post ... I have seen one really major problem with the current matrimonial sites: that they are tooooo traditional and very marriage focused. In contrast, the current growing generation in India is probably looking for something which is a little more of a open discovery oriented match making site which has a somewhat dating/somewhat marriage feel to it. I can see a lot of strange reluctance amongst a lot of youngsters I know in Mumbai and Pune who feel kinda un-cool to post their profile on a Shaadi.com. Shaadi.com and other will continue to thrive as their market is also very much there and growing, but we see a big gap being formed in this segment. Thoughts? Abhinav:
