After launching educational based services, match highlights on-demand, 24x7 darshan of temples, cooking recipes on-demand, we bring another first to the market – matrimony listings on TV. We are delighted to partner with bharatmatrimony.com, the leading matrimonial portal, in this endeavour. We believe that Actve Matrimony will help us further grow our 3 million connection base.”
