How families and singles connect on RishtaConnects, how privacy works, and what each step means.
← Back to RishtaConnectsEither a parent or the single can create an account first using a phone number. Whoever goes first gets a private invite code to share with the other.
The parent completes the family profile. The single completes their own private profile and verifies their photo.
Once both are linked and ready, parents can begin exploring introductions.
An OTP is a 6-digit verification code sent to your phone by SMS during registration. It helps us confirm that your number belongs to you.
Parents browse families and send an interest. When both sides accept, a Stage 1 match is created and families can begin a conversation.
Singles can then privately view each other’s profiles and decide whether they would like to connect.
Not a dating app, but it feels like one for singles, inside a family-first matchmaking experience.
At RishtaConnects, parents help begin the introductions, ensuring values and families align. But the final choice is always in the hands of the singles, made privately, respectfully, and on their own terms.
Think of it as the best of both worlds: the trust and tradition of family involvement, combined with the independence and privacy singles expect from a dating app.
No. Conversations between singles are completely private. Parents can see that a connection exists, but never the conversation itself.
Family profiles are shown based on preferences and mutual interest. Singles can browse independently and privately.
Direct conversations only open after mutual acceptance.
If you choose to pass, the introduction quietly disappears from your side. Your parents are gently informed so the process can move forward naturally.
“I’m Open to This” lets your parents know you’re comfortable exploring the introduction further.
“Open Conversation” starts a private chat between both singles.
These are separate steps, giving you time and space to decide at your own pace.
If your parent sends an interest that you’re uncomfortable with, you can flag it privately.
Your parent receives a gentle notification so they can better understand your preferences moving forward.
RishtaConnects includes Mitra, an optional AI guide that helps singles build their profile through a short, friendly conversation, turning a few answers into a ready profile.
Alongside Mitra, there are AI-powered compatibility insights, shared interest highlights, conversation starters, reply suggestions, and profile improvement tips.
Mitra is always optional, and filling the profile yourself works just as well. These features are designed to support the process, not replace human decisions.
Inside chat, you can tap the icebreaker button to receive AI-generated conversation starters based on shared interests, hobbies, and profile details.
It’s a simple way to make the first message feel less awkward.
