Milan Connect

Getting Started

Milan Connect is an online matchmaking platform designed specifically for Indian parents whose singles are living in the US.

Milan Connect is for Indian parents who have an adult single child who lives in the US.

After creating an account on Milan Connect, a parent builds a profile with information about their single child. The parent also enters partner preferences and profiles that match these preferences are presented to the parent. Parents can contact these potential matches directly through the Milan Connect platform to gather more information.

It’s very simple & fast! You simply visit the BanyanWay website at http://www.banyanway.com and signup as a new user by giving a valid email address and creating a password. You will receive an email verification immediately after registering that will enable you to confirm your account.

We show information that will help others understand you, your single and your background. We do not share full names or any contact information such as email address or phone number. Click here to see a sample profile.

Privacy

BanyanWay is committed to protecting your personal information and privacy. We use modern security practices such as HTTPS to ensure that your information is securely handled. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

 

No. We do not share your full name or any other contact information such as your email address or phone number. Other users can contact you only through the online messaging feature within Milan Connect. Once you are connected with other parents, you may choose to share additional contact information.

Creating a Milan Connect Profile

Typically, a good profile is one that has all (or most) of the fields completed with accurate information. It is important that you include at least one good photo of your single children. Just like you would like to know about someone, others too would like to understand the interests, preferences, and background of your single children.

Please make sure that you include at least one photo in your single children’s profiles—two or three photos are even better. In addition, do try to complete all the hobbies and interest fields so that other parents may get a good understanding of your single children.

Please complete as much of your single children’s profile information as possible, include good photos, and use relatively broad choices in your partner preferences. Over time, these items will increase the number of potential matching profiles that you will be able to see.

No, we require at least one photo of your single children. Without a photo, your single children’s profile will be incomplete and will appear to be a fake profile. Without a photo, other parents may not be as interested in your single children, and so you may not receive as many requests to connect.

Any photo which represents your single is recommended. Ideally, your single children’s face should be seen clearly in the photo. The preferred format is JPEG (.jpg extension) with a resolution of at least 500 pixels on each side.

We use their phone number to send them a text informing them that you are posting their information on Milan Connect. We never publish any phone numbers within Milan Connect.

What you include here will enable other parents to understand your personal and family background, culture, and interests. Possible entries here can include your mother tongue, community, diet, regionality, or the Indian state that you descend from. Some examples are:

  • “Indian”
  • “South Indian, Telugu, non-vegetarian”
  • “Gujarati, Hindu, vegetarian”
  • “Indian, pescatarian, okay with non-veg”.

It’s very easy! Choose your son or daughter from the dropdown list at the top labeled “Select Your Single”. Once you select your single children, click on the “Settings” icon at the top (which looks like small gears) and you can then update all of the profile information for yourself as well as for your single children.

No, you cannot put your profile on hold.

To delete your profile, email us at customersupport@banyanway.com. Please note: There are no refunds of your subscription fee if you decide to leave Milan Connect before the end of your subscription period.

Using Milan Connect

You can set your partner preferences to filter by

  • Age
  • Marital Status
  • Raised Where (which is used to share where your single children were raised)
  • Location within the U.S.

You cannot filter or search by caste or subcaste within Milan Connect.

Yes, if the other parent has entered this information in the field labeled “How Parents Describe Themselves” in the Profile Details.

You may have set your partner preferences too narrowly. Try broadening your partner preferences.

Yes. We have an option for registering two adult single children and we do have such parents in our database. Once you Sign up and complete the profile for your first adult single child, you can then Sign up and complete the profile for your second adult single child. Note that each adult single child requires a separate subscription.

Milan Connect includes many of the most important aspects about singles; but if you are interested in a profile and don’t see specific information you would like to know, you can contact those parents within Milan Connect to ask.

The messaging within Milan Connect is similar to email. You may receive a response immediately or it may take some time before you receive a response. The other parent is notified when messages arrive, so please be patient since they may be busy.
