India's leading matchmaker Priya Shah reflects on 25 years shaping Dubai's elite matrimonial landscape

HEART-LED MATCHES THAT TRANSFORM LIVES

What makes your Dubai branch so sought after among HNIs, CEOs, business families and professionals in the UAE?

You recently completed 25 years in Dubai and received two Dubai Government awards. What do these milestones mean to you?

These milestones are deeply personal to me. Dubai has truly become my second home, and for 25 years I have walked alongside some of the most respected Indian families here. Being honoured twice by the Dubai Government is not just recognition of my work but a validation of the values I practise every day confidentiality, dignity and sincere involvement in every match.

My clients trust me with their children's futures, and these awards strengthen my commitment to serve the community with even greater dedication.

You are known for creating “arranged love marriages.” How do you balance intuition, culture and modern matchmaking tools?
