The Founder

Subhan
Tahir.

Muhammad S. Tahir signature

27. Born Pakistan. Raised UK 15 years. Now Milton, Canada.

Nobody built this app. So I did. I watched parents want to be involved, and young South Asians want to choose. Baand was built for both.

🇵🇰🇬🇧🇨🇦
01 — Why Baand

Built for both of you.

For the first time, a matchmaking app that honours both generations — without forcing either to compromise.

🌿
Family First

Your family is part of this journey — not an obstacle to it. Baand was built with that truth at its core.

🔒
Your Privacy Protected

Every decision you make stays private until the right moment. No pressure. No awkward conversations. Just peace.

🤝
The Match That Means Something

When a match happens on Baand — it's real. It's agreed. It's the beginning of something everyone can be proud of.

For Your Family

Her way.
Complete privacy.

Ammi sees what matters to her — education, family background, values. She has a genuine say. No arguments. No pressure. For the first time, she doesn't have to fight to be heard.

✦ Family Mode · Private by default

For You

Your choice.
Zero pressure.

You see personality, lifestyle, vibe. You decide freely. Nobody sees what you do until you're ready. Because choosing your life partner should feel like hope — not a courtroom.

✦ Your View · Always your choice
The joint match moment
The Baand Moment

When everyone
agrees.

There's a moment — rare, beautiful, and real — when what you want and what your family wants are the same thing. Baand was built to find that moment. And protect it when it arrives.

The Result

Families connect.
The celebration begins.

This is the goal. Not just a match — a match everyone comes home to. Two families. One moment of pure, undivided joy. Built for Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi diaspora everywhere.

"I'm building Baand to prove one thing — that technology can bring families closer, not tear them apart."

02 — The Gap

Two apps exist.
Both are wrong.

Shaadi.com was built in 1997. Tinder ignores your family. Neither was built for us.
