Indian matchmaking and matrimony mag to launch in Canada

A major India-based internet portal about matrimony is launching a print vehicle in the United States and Canada called BharatMatrimony Times. The magazine is apparently aimed at the large number of first and second-generation sub-continent immigrants who are interested in finding an Indian bride or groom. The website offers a premium personalized matchmaking service. (The portal is owned by Consim Info Pvt Ltd. which also offers sites for jobs, property, loans, automobiles and classified advertising.)

The magazine is the offline face of Consim's flagship brand, BharatMatrimony.com. The magazine will feature interesting content on weddings, relationships, interviews with celebrities and highlight the activities of its portal in the North American market. The magazine also brings to light the success stories of its members.

The portal says it has 12 million registered members worldwide and 1.2 million core members.
