Dhaka matchmaking platform Paira put 60 marriage-minded singles in a room over tea on Friday 30 October, Daily Sun reported on 31 October. The event, "Cha Theke Chirodin", was held at Lakeshore in Banani, and brought 30 men and 30 women together face to face to share values and start conversations, according to the newspaper. Paira says it is neither a speed-dating event nor a conventional matrimonial site. Organisers told Daily Sun they put personality and values ahead of age, status or marital history. The paper's headline refers to divorced, widowed and single participants. ### The DII Take An "AI-powered" matchmaker spending an evening on tea and conversation tells you where it thinks trust is built. That is a sensible read of a market where, judging by The Daily Star's reporting and what rivals say about themselves, human verification is pitched as the selling point. The open question is scale: DII has found no funding, membership or pricing figures for Paira, so a reported 60-person evening is a signal of intent, not of traction. ### Sixty attendees, 25 advertised seats Paira's own event page lists the evening as "Cha Theke Chirodin – Second Chapter", so there was an earlier edition. It set the time at 5 PM to 7 PM at Lakeshore Hotel, aimed at Muslim men and women seeking a life partner for marriage. Paira's event page advertised a maximum of 25 selected participants. Daily Sun reports 60 attendees. DII cannot reconcile the two figures, and Paira has not confirmed the 60 number in anything DII has seen. According to the page, applicants submit bio-data on pairaa.com or by WhatsApp, shortlisted candidates are contacted after review and every reply is read by a person. Mosharat Ahmed Mehek, Paira's CEO, told Daily Sun: 'Nobody has to rush into marriage,' adding: 'We help people find the right match, grow in confidence, and shape a future together.' Participant Ali Hasan Prince, an entrepreneur, said the meetings feel safe. ### A crowded Dhaka field Tracxn's May 2026 sector page counts 23 matchmaking companies in Dhaka, 14 of them active, excluding offline agencies. Align Matrimony claims 15,000+ installs, its own figure. The Daily Star has also framed human-led matchmakers such as Deshi Cupid as an alternative to dating apps. > Paira's event page advertised a maximum of 25 selected participants. - Paira's in-person event shows Dhaka matchmakers using offline, human-reviewed formats to differentiate from app-only rivals. - Operators should watch whether Paira discloses attendance, membership or pricing, none of which DII has found. **Sources:** [Paira – event page for 'Cha Theke Chirodin – Second Chapter' (Paira / Paira Technologies)](https://pairaa.com/); [About Us - Align Matrimony (Align Matrimony)](https://alignmatrimony.com/about-us); [List of 23 Matchmaking Startups in Dhaka, Bangladesh & Market Trends (Tracxn)](https://tracxn.com/d/explore/matchmaking-startups-in-dhaka-bangladesh/__LZoN_kqmHkb89yPyy3XOOfpbAzRQtHLYWU9wbu4KIEQ#top-companies); [Divorced, widowed, single: Paira gives all a seat at the table (Daily Sun)](https://www.daily-sun.com/ds-lifestyle/906345); [Can matchmakers succeed where dating apps fail?
