By Staff Reporters     Venture Wire     February 6, 2008

Indian Internet firm Consim Info Pvt. Ltd. has closed an $11.75 Series B led by Mayfield Fund, with participation from return investors Yahoo Inc. and Canaan Partners.

In 2006, the company, formerly known as BharatMatrimony Group, raised a $8.65 Series A from Yahoo and Canaan Partners.

Consim has more than 15 million registered users with its group of Web sites, including BharatMatrimony.com, Clickjobs.com, IndiaProperty.com and IndiaAutomobile.com, the company said.

The company's BharatMatrimony.com site allows users to search for mates by language, caste and age. About 80 percent of the company's revenues are from marriage classifieds, according to the blog ContentSutra.com. The site also links to services such as loans for marriages and pre-marriage counseling for what the site calls "marriage alliances."

The company could not immediately be reached for comment.

Nikhil Khattau of Mayfield Fund's Mumbai office has joined Consim Info's board and Navin Chaddha, managing director of Mayfield, has become an observer on the board.
