English summary by Margaret
In Jakarta, Indonesia, there is a unique matchmaking agency called Cindo Match, located inside the Mall of Indonesia. The agency operates on a community-based membership system and is specifically designed for singles of Chinese-Indonesian descent.
Cindo Match clients submit a CV with personal details and a photo, which is displayed at a booth inside the mall. Other participants can view these CVs and select candidates they are interested in. Once a selection is made, Cindo Match contacts the chosen candidate to confirm their willingness to meet.
Cindo Match has specific requirements, based on their client’s genders. Men must be at least 25 years old with a bachelor’s degree, while women must be at least 20 years old with the same educational level. These criteria help ensure participants are financially and emotionally self-sufficient, increasing the likelihood of compatibility.
The agency offers several packages for selecting CVs. The basic package allows participants to choose three CVs for 160,000 Rupiah (around US$10), while a bundling package lets participants select six CVs. There is also a fast-track option, where participants can select candidates directly without reviewing their CVs first.
Participants can also join the community through paid membership options. The first option is the Prosper Membership, which costs 168,000 Rupiah (around US$11) and provides access to the community and one group of choice, such as religion-based groups like Christian Members or Buddhist Members, or location-based groups like Jakarta or Surabaya. Next is the Fortune Membership, costing 488,000 Rupiah (around US$32), which offers access to all groups along with three recommended candidates. The last option is the Premium Membership, priced at 988,000 Rupiah (around US$65), which includes full access to all groups and five recommended candidates.
Beyond matchmaking, Cindo Match regularly hosts community events focused on networking and personal growth, giving members opportunities to build social connections while finding potential partners.
