Chirag 5 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 The Matrimonial goes mobile with RIM DAKC (Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City), Navi Mumbai. April 28, 2004 Matrimonials, those perennially-sought after match-maker columns, have gone mobile, crowning an evolutionary process that began by word-of-mouth style and graduating to palm leaves to print medium and then on to online, coalescing families, clans and customs - and disrupting a few - in its protracted treck. Reliance IndiaMobile phones will now facilitate match-making through R World on its mobile phones in the most convenient way. Reliance Infocomm has tied-up with Shaadi.com and Matricorp.com to launch 'Matrimonial Classifieds' available to its over 6 million customers. Those seeking an alliance can now advertise or search for the right match with a simple flick of a mobile key in R World. "In today's fast paced life, and a wide geographic spread of relations, individuals and parents often struggle hard to find a good partner for themselves or their sons or daughters. Matrimonial services through mobile will eliminate distances and help people in their search for suitable life partners. With the convenience of R World on our phones we expect Matrimonial Classifieds to be a huge success," says Mr. Mahesh Prasad, President, Application & Solutions Group. The Matrimonial Classifieds application is one of a suite of 'Classifieds' services that enables the user to post and search for various types of listings directly from the RIM handset. The user need not register to avail these services. Says Anupam Mittal, President and CEO of People Group (which owns Shaadi.com), "This is a Shaadi of two leaders in new media - Reliance Infocomm in wireless and Shaadi.com in internet matchmaking. The alliance leverages strengths of the two trailblazers and brings to customers a matrimonial service which connects Reliance Infocomm's 6 million users with Shaadi.com's 1.5 million members." An easy navigation of R world menu will help RIM customers to advertise their profile or search by various criteria such assuch as Religion, Language, City STD Code, Age, Education, Occupation, Annual Income, Height, , About Myself, My Preferred Partner and a whole lot more. Once a person has expressed interest, the service notifies the lister and the lister has the facility to contact the sender.
