Kolumbus UK was founded by Madhavi Amdekar and driven by her commitment to social impact. Built on decades of experience in education and community engagement, Kolumbus UK blends a professional service with deep human understanding.
Modeled upon the iconic Kolumbus Marriage Bureau, Pune, we continue the tradition of helping people find meaningful companionship across continents.
Founding Kolumbus UK has been a dynamic and evolving journey, yet it has always been anchored by my core values: a deep love for teaching, respect for family and community, and an unwavering commitment to social needs. With over 25 years of experience in the field of education - including serving as head teacher at a London school, examining national and international examinations in Mathematics and Marathi, and authoring a book for ESOL students - I wanted to leverage my understanding of people for the good of the wider community.
I see the mission of Kolumbus UK as a social need, especially at a time where chronic loneliness is increasingly experienced by people of all ages. Finding a life partner is a global challenge, and it's exacerbated for high-achieving individuals and those living away from home. In today’s world of fulfilling careers and remote working, socialisation is reduced, and the opportunity to meet suitable partners is scarce. Loneliness is a universal affliction, and it is my privilege to be able to help solve this problem by bringing people together.
A personalised process for young professionals and families looking for meaningful, culturally aligned alliances.
A compassionate, stigma-free service for divorcees or widowed individuals seeking new beginnings.
A unique offering addressing loneliness among mature singles, NRIs living alone, or those preferring companionship over marriage.
Support for highly educated individuals, NRIs with demanding schedules, and enquiries from LGBT clients seeking confidential matchmaking.
In an era of digital isolation, demanding careers, and limited social circles, NRIs often struggle to meet suitable partners. Kolumbus UK bridges this emotional gap through culturally sensitive matchmaking and companionship services, offering hope and meaningful human connections.
It is often said that the marriages are made in heaven . But it is necessary on the earth to find the one who is made for you. In today’s world where Indians are spread globally and absorbing the modern life style they still seek the deeply rooted stable family values honed by our ancisters and want to build a warm nest along with someone who thinks alike.
Madhavitai gives a practical approach to today’s married life and supports it with her agile experience and finds the one who is made for you . The way she help us to meet was amazing although we were geographically distant and within six months we are a family.
Thank you and all the best to her work and honorable contribution in building the society
