Our team is using technology to essentially bring the offline wedding planning experience onto an online platform, while adding convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Manish Garg, co-founder of the company, said,
India’s wedding industry, valued at $40 billion, with 25-30% growth year on year, is proving to be one of the sturdiest in today’s market.
So, if you’re tying the knot and looking to get professional help, you know whose door(or website) to knock. In this space, Shaadisaga competes with the likes of Weddingz, PlanningWale and WedMeGood. Weddingz has recently raised $1 million from a group of angel investors, while WedMeGood has raised Rs. 2.7 crore from IAN.
