A study by Jeevansathi.com, India's fastest growing matrimonial site shows that professionals in IT- software and Medical have shown preference for partners in the same profession. However, professionals in Banking, Entrepreneurship, HR and Govt Services do not display any inclination towards marriage within the same profession. This data has been derived by analyzing the data of contacts made by men to women on profession based parameters.l
Commenting on the research Rohit Manghnani, Business Head, Jeevansathi.com said "Doctors very often seek partners from the same profession as they feel other medicos will understand the odd hour pressures that they face. More importantly that also gives them a chance to set up their own clinic/nursing home at some stage. In case of software professionals they very often need to travel for extended periods out of country. By having a partner in the same field they can do the international travel more easily."
