Less swiping.
Better matches.
Real intentions.
Haanji is matchmaking for Punjabi singles who are done with endless apps. A few compatible matches each week. Chat only when you both say haanji. Seven days to see if it's worth more.
Adults 18 and over. A real person reviews every profile.
How a week on Haanji works
Structured, so you make progress. Gentle, so nobody feels pushed.
- 1
Every week
A few picks arrive
Up to four people who fit what you want, and who want someone like you. Each one comes with the reasons why.
- 2
Within 72 hours
Say haanji, or pass
They get 72 hours to say it back. No reply? It expires quietly. Nobody gets chased or told off.
- 3
When you both say yes
A private chat opens
No cold messages, ever. Chat only exists after mutual interest.
- 4
For 7 days
Get to know each other
A short, clear introduction window, so conversations don't drift for months. When you're both ready, video call or swap Instagram right from the chat.
- 5
Then
Keep talking, or close kindly
If you both choose to continue, the timer disappears. If not, the chat closes with no hard feelings.
Every match comes with the reasons why
We only suggest people when it works in both directions: who you each want to meet, age range, location, where you grew up (Canadian-born, American-born, local or anywhere), intentions and dealbreakers. Then we show you what you actually share.
No endless feed
A handful of picks a week, chosen in both directions. You'll never scroll through thousands of faces.
No cold messages
Chat opens only after you both say haanji.
No ghosting limbo
Interest expires after 72 hours and introductions after 7 days, unless you both decide to keep going.
A match % you can check
Tap any pick to see exactly what it's built from: plans, values, interests, lifestyle, faith and distance.
Video call when you're both ready
See who you're really talking to without sharing a number. Video calls and Instagram swaps only happen when you both agree, and calls are never recorded.
Five chats at a time
Five chat slots each, so every chat gets real attention. People who never reply drop out of matching.
Example match
For every Punjabi
Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, spiritual or none. From Lahore to Ludhiana, Brampton to Birmingham, California to Italy. You decide whether faith matters, and matching respects both people's answers.

Second chapters welcome
Divorced, widowed, separated or a single parent? You belong here. Share your life stage openly, only after you connect, or only on your biodata. Say whether you're open to a partner with children, and we match on both people's answers.
Family, on your terms
Some of us want our parents in the loop from day one. Some of us really don't. Both are fine, and you can change your mind any time.
Just me
Private. No family access at all.
With my family's help
Family can suggest matches or read along in a chat as a chaperone, only if you both agree.
Family-led
A parent prepares your profile. Nothing goes live until you claim it, and you approve every match yourself.
Biodata, done privately. Make a biodata your family can share, with links that expire, passcodes, and an off switch.
See biodataSafety you can see
A person reviews every profile
A phone check and a selfie in a pose we choose, compared with the photos. Nobody sees you until a reviewer approves you.
Your photo, your rules
Show it to matches, blur it until you connect, or keep it private until you choose to share.
Report and block everywhere
From any profile, chat or video call. Reports from more than one member hide a profile until a moderator decides.
Zero tolerance
Harassment, scams, explicit messages or fake profiles get a permanent ban. No second chances.
