Neelu Kandhari
Founder & CEO of Neelu Matchmaking
I am Neelu, the founder of Neelu Matchmaking. Born and raised in New Delhi, I moved to London 30 years ago, bringing with me a rich blend of cultures and experiences that shape both my personal and professional life.
I have maintained a deep connection with my Indian roots through family and friends. My fluency in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, along with my understanding of both Eastern and Western cultures, especially around family and marriage, gives me a unique perspective in bringing people together.
With a Master’s degree in Child and Family Welfare, I’ve always had an innate ability to understand human behaviour, the challenges people face, and the complex dynamics of relationships in today’s ever-evolving society.
Delving deeper into the world of modern dating, especially for accomplished professionals, I saw a gap. Despite having vibrant social lives, many successful professionals were finding it more difficult to connect with that special someone. Traditional matchmakers feel outdated, and dating apps lack that personal touch and their safety is questionable.
I offer a premium, confidential, and bespoke matchmaking service tailored for South Asian professionals based in the UK and globally. These are individuals who are busy achieving their career goals but haven’t given up on finding love. I’m here to help bridge that gap by providing a personal touch and in-depth understanding that goes beyond algorithms and swiping. I believe in thoughtfully curating matches, giving my clients profound connections and emotional depth for a long lasting and happy relationship.

I will help you to take charge of your health. I am available to discuss any
If you would like to get to the root cause of your symptoms and learn to live more in tune with your body then I am here to help. Together we will unfold the causes to your health issues taking it to an optimum level. I work strategically with my clients on a one-on-one to create a personalised plan that is easy to follow. I will help you understand what your symptoms mean and that suppressing symptoms does not target the root cause of diseases instead manifests from being in a ‘dis-ease’ – uneasy state, to having a number of diseases in no time.
As we know, there’s absolutely no magic pill to regaining health but I can assure you from experience that it requires the right mindset, patience, dedication and most of all consistency which means, we will embark on a journey together where you will unlearn then to learn a journey back to health.Your health becomes my priority!
