Put work and location first
Families plan around where the couple will live, so make it impossible to miss:
- Current role and organisation (or the kind of organisation, if you prefer not to name it)
- City of work, and whether he is open to relocating
- Highest education and where it is from
"Product Manager at an e-commerce company in Gurugram, open to moving to another metro" answers three questions before they are asked.
Family details
Parents' names and what they do, brothers and sisters with whether they are married, family type and native place. If the couple would live with his parents, say so honestly. It is one of the most important things the girl's family wants to know, and it is better heard from you than discovered later.
About him, in real words
Write what he enjoys, how he spends weekends and what he values. "He plays cricket on weekends, cooks a decent rajma chawal and calls his grandmother every Sunday" says more about him than "smart, handsome and well-settled" ever could.
Partner expectations that work
- "Educated and independent, respectful of both families"
- "Happy for her to continue her career"
- "Comfortable living in a joint family" (only if that is the plan)
- "Open to any city in India"
Income, property and other sensitive lines
Income is optional; a range ("₹18–22 LPA") is enough if you include it. Property, cars and family business turnover rarely belong on a biodata. They make it read like an advertisement, and the right family will ask in good time.
Horoscope details
If your family uses kundli matching, include rashi, nakshatra and manglik status, or the exact time and place of birth. If you aren't sure about manglik status, "not checked" is an honest answer that families respect.
Photo
One recent, well-lit photo: a plain background, a simple shirt or kurta, no sunglasses. Many families decide whether to read further from the photo alone, so it is worth five minutes near a window.
