Meet Mala — The Heart and Soul Behind Kismet
Mala is a natural connector. She is intuitive, warm, and deeply people-focused. Guided by strong empathy and a genuine passion for bringing like-minded people together, she founded Kismet Matchmaking to help singles find meaningful, lasting relationships.
With a background in design and business development, Mala has spent decades cultivating authentic connections and creating experiences that are intentional and rooted in trust. She blends emotional intelligence with strategic vision, transforming ideas into meaningful connections and lasting impact.
For over 30 years, Mala has built trusted, enduring networks within the South Asian community across the U.S. Since launching Kismet in 2025, she has already created dozens of intentional, high-quality matches, each one a reflection of her heart-led approach to matchmaking.
Why Matchmaking Matters
Dating is a vital part of discovering compatibility and building meaningful relationships. Mala encourages intentional dating and follows a simple framework that helps her clients understand the natural progression of a relationship.
While dating apps can help you meet people, they often lack accountability, structure, and depth. A skilled matchmaker understands your goals, curates introductions with care, and provides guidance to nurture lasting connections.
Dating Today
Dating today can feel like trying to solve a complex puzzle while riding a unicycle — technically possible, but mostly just exhausting and discouraging. Swipes have replaced serendipity. Self-promotion and surface talk have taken the place of authentic engagement and connection.
In a world of endless options, many feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or confused. Singles craving intimacy are left exhausted by the very systems designed to create it.
The Kismet Experience
We focus on quality over quantity — creating introductions that are intentional, authentic, and aligned with your long-term goals.
At Kismet, you're never just a profile or a number; you're a person with a story, a purpose, and a vision for love that deserves to be honored.
"Working with Mala was one of the best decisions I've made. She truly understood what I was looking for and introduced me to someone who is gorgeous, fun, smart, and incredibly engaging. Our first date lasted six amazing hours, and honestly, it would've gone even longer if I didn't have a flight to catch! I can't thank Mala enough for making this connection happen."
