Elite Matrimony is an Indian matrimonial website that caters to wealthy individuals or their families seeking matrimonial alliances. The site was founded by Murugavel Janakiraman who is located in Chennai. The eligibility criterion is a minimum asset base of Rupees 3,00,00,000. The service charges are Rupees 50000 to 2,00,000 for a period of three to six months. The site offers services such as investigating credentials such as assets, educational qualifications, inheritance, educational and professional achievements of those with whom alliance is sought. Its services are available to only those it formally invites to avail them. The site also offers anonymity to those who seek it. The site belongs to Consim Info Pvt. Ltd. which was earlier known as BharatMatrimony. This site is seen as one that follows the trend of sites that cater to niche areas such as the overweight, those with AIDS, those who are manglik, those who don't want dowry, those with disabilities, those for whom it is a second marriage, or those who work for the government or with BPO companies. The website offers services of dedicated staff who assist members in searching potential partners. According to the Indian Express it is the first site of its kind. The site was founded in 2008.

Neerja Dasani writing in CounterCurrents.org sees the existence of this site as an example of the inability of economic growth to break social barriers.
