The Marathi Community in New Zealand
New Zealand's Indian community is one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the country. The Maharashtrian presence, while smaller than in Australia, is active and organised. The New Zealand Marathi Mitra Mandal brings families together for cultural events, and the community is spread across Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
Many Maharashtrian families in New Zealand came through the skilled migrant category and are well-established professionals in IT, healthcare, engineering, and academia. Their children are growing up as New Zealanders in every sense — except Marathi.
From Understanding to Speaking
Like their counterparts in Australia, most NRI children in New Zealand who grow up in Marathi households understand the language well but find speaking it unexpectedly difficult. The language lives in their ears and their memories. It just needs a regular, comfortable outlet to come out.
Our one-to-one classes provide that outlet. A weekly session with a patient native Marathi teacher, at the child's actual level, focused entirely on speaking. No Devanagari script required. No alphabet drills. Just conversation, built session by session.
Scheduling for New Zealand Families
New Zealand Standard Time is 6.5 hours ahead of IST. Our 7 am to 9 pm IST class window corresponds to roughly 1:30 pm to 3:30 am NZST. Practically, the most workable slots for New Zealand families are weekend afternoons between 1:30 pm and 4 pm NZST, which align with convenient mid-morning to early afternoon IST slots.
We are experienced at working with Southern Hemisphere families and finding scheduling solutions that work for both sides.

The first session is always free and comes with no obligation. We would love to support Maharashtrian families across New Zealand, and to be a language learning resource for the New Zealand Marathi Mitra Mandal community.
