Options galore

Innovative Vivek Pahwa, the man behind secondshaadi.com

Marriage in our country is considered a bond for life. But with changing times, many are now open to the idea of not continuing with a bad marriage.

While some remain single after divorce, others opt for remarriage. In a society with traditional bonds and beliefs still quite strong, finding a match for a second marriage is not easy. And herein comes handy the matrimonial website secondshaadi.com

All one needs to do is register oneself online with all the details. The site verifies the credentials of the clients and their telephone numbers too before going ahead with it.

Young entrepreneur Vivek Pahwa runs the popular website. Pahwa, an MBA from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, and a mechanical engineer from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is all of 26 and heads Accentium.com which runs not only the matrimonial site but also gaadi.com

Pahwa says, “gaadi.com is a research base website for those who are looking to buy a car. Within just five months of its existence gaadi.com is the number two automobile website in India and has already sparked the interest of car makers.” Pahwa, chosen by the Business Week magazine for Asia’s best young entrepreneur award 2008, started with “the country’s first social networking web portal desimartini.com” which he sold to a media house last year.

With changing times come new professions and Pahwa seems to have found one with success.
