Marriage-intent introductions, built with care.

21+ only

Rishte is for adults aged 21 and over — an IkkoPind platform policy, not a preference.

Adult-owned profiles

Every profile belongs to the person themselves. No profile can be created secretly by parents or relatives.

Family by invitation only

A family member can help only after the profile owner invites them — and the owner can see, restrict and remove that access at any time.

No public directory

No public matrimonial profiles, no Google indexing. Profiles will be visible only inside Rishte, to members who have completed the entry requirements.

No contact details shown

Phone number, email, workplace and exact address are never displayed. Contact is revealed only when both people agree.

Mutual consent before messaging

Nobody can message you until you accept their interest. Declining immediately prevents further contact.

No children in photos

Profile photographs must not include children.

Safety is never paywalled

Blocking, reporting and every safety feature will be free, always.

How a connection will work

1. Discover a profile in a calm, limited daily selection
2. Send an interest with a thoughtful comment
3. They accept or decline — declining ends contact immediately
4. Mutual connection
5. In-app text chat
6. Optional in-app voice or video call — numbers stay private
7. Contact details revealed only when both agree

No endless swiping, no gamified streaks. A calm daily selection based on mutual preferences — and every introduction explains why: matching timeframe, country arrangement, languages, family involvement and relocation expectations. Never caste, never skin tone.

What Rishta will ask for

Nothing here exists yet. When Rishta opens, members will be asked to provide the following, and IkkoPind will state what each member provided rather than vouching for anyone:

Where a reputable provider can confirm identity and return only the result, IkkoPind will not store your document images at all. Documents will never be visible to other members.

A profile that reads like a person

First name only, age range rather than birth date, broad region rather than address, profession category rather than workplace — plus values, two-country plans and three thoughtful prompts. Each photo is controlled individually. No résumé-style biodata page.

👪 Family, with consent

Family matters in our communities — and consent matters more. Rishte will support both:

• Profile owner — complete control, always.
• Family adviser — can suggest matches, only after the owner invites them.
• Family representative — can join a shared conversation only when both profile owners agree.

Family members can never send interests pretending to be the owner. Every family action is visibly labelled, and every consent or access change is recorded.

🛡️ A safety system, not a report button

Built to detect and warn about the patterns real matrimonial scams follow:

• Requests for money, loans, investments, crypto or gift cards
• Rapid pressure to move to WhatsApp or off-platform
• Reused or stolen profile photos, duplicate identities
• Inconsistencies in name, age, country or employment
• Harassment and abnormal volumes of interests

Plus: block, report and disconnect everywhere; a safety centre inside every conversation; in-app calls that never reveal your number; photo attachments blurred until accepted; evidence preserved for serious reports; human moderation with appeals.

Closed pilot

• One corridor first (e.g. Australia–Punjab)
• A limited number of adults
• Manual profile approval
• Interests and accept/decline only

Controlled communication

• In-app messaging, then voice/video
• Scam detection & warnings
• Family adviser invitations
• Strong reporting and appeals

Careful expansion

• Only after safety metrics are met
• Fake-profile rate, report response time
• Women's safety and retention
• Respectful introductions — not message volume
