Pujari Ji (Sanatan Astro Pvt. Ltd.) is a faith-tech startup solving the deep-rooted problems in India’s religious services sector. By several standard measures, Indians are highly religious. A majority of Indian adults pray daily (60%), visit a place of worship at least monthly (71%), and 84% say religion is very important in their lives (Source: Pew Research, 2021). Yet this vast demand is served by an unorganized sector: families struggle to find verified Pandits, ensure rituals are performed properly, and arrange authentic samagri and prasad. At the same time, thousands of Gurukul-trained Pandits lack structured and dignified opportunities. The Indian religious and spiritual market was valued at USD 58.56 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a 10?GR, reaching USD 151.89 billion by 2034 (Source: OpenPR, 2024). This includes pujas, samagri, prasad, astrology, and tirth services. Pujari Ji bridges this gap by offering end-to-end puja services — verified Pandits, authentic samagri kits, prasad delivery, and online/live streaming options — available at home, at tirth sthals, and for NRIs globally. With 150+ Pandits onboarded, 300+ pujas completed, and 2000+ customers served, we are building India’s first structured, transparent, and tech-enabled platform for Sanatan rituals, combining faith and technology to make puja services authentic, accessible, and trustworthy.
