In today’s digital-first world, few would expect spirituality—so deeply rooted in personal belief and tradition—to find its place alongside technology. Yet in India, spiritual tech is not only thriving, it’s transforming how people connect with faith.
The Indian religious and spiritual market stood at a massive $58.56 billion in 2023, with expectations to grow at a 10% CAGR until 2032. As younger audiences, particularly those between 25-35 years, drift away from traditional visits to temples or astrologers, they’re turning to their phones instead—seeking spiritual services online.
What’s Driving This Shift?
- Convenience and Accessibility: Book a puja, consult an astrologer, or view a darshan—all in a few taps.
- NRI Demand: Millions abroad want to stay connected to Indian rituals.
- Influencer Power: Celebrities promoting astrology and puja apps have brought spirituality into digital mainstream.
- Funding Momentum: Investors are backing spiritual tech with serious capital.
