AstroTalk’s e-commerce vertical posts Rs 140 Cr revenue in 2025, hits Rs 200 Cr ARR AstroTalk, an online astrology platform, has rapidly scaled its e-commerce vertical, AstroTalk Store, which generated over Rs 140 crore in revenue in 2025, according to a company statement. The Store, launched in November 2024, claims it is currently operating at an annualised run rate (ARR) of more than Rs 200 crore. According to the statement, AstroTalk Store was initially incubated with an internal investment of Rs 30 lakh to test the viability of a trust-led spiritual products business. Following early demand visibility and repeat purchases, AstroTalk infused an additional Rs 40 crore to scale inventory, strengthen supply chains, and expand product categories. During FY25, the Store processed over 1.6 million orders. At present, AstroTalk Store offers more than 300 SKUs across categories such as rudrakshas, gemstones, bracelets, idols, and ritual essentials. “The spiritual and astrology-led products market in India has always been large but extremely fragmented. Consumers were either buying from local vendors with no standardisation or from small online sellers where authenticity was questionable,” Puneet Gupta, founder and CEO of AstroTalk, said in the statement. The company plans to expand its catalogue with 500 additional products by FY27. The platform currently reports a 24% repeat rate, while nearly 50% of its future sales are expected to come from Tier II and Tier III markets. Looking ahead, AstroTalk is targeting Rs 400–500 crore in annual recurring revenue by FY27 for its e-commerce vertical. In FY25, AstroTalk’s overall revenue rose to Rs 1,176 crore from Rs 651 crore in FY24. The company is also in mid-stage talks to raise $50–100 million at a unicorn valuation, a development earlier exclusively reported by Entrackr. AstroTalk will also begin preparations to initiate its IPO process in the coming months.

Daman Soni joins AstroTalk after exit from GlobalBees Daman Soni, former President and Chief Business Officer of e-commerce roll-up company GlobalBees, has joined AstroTalk as CBO (e-commerce), sources familiar with the development told Entrackr. At GlobalBees, Soni played a key role in scaling the company’s business operations and driving marketing efforts for its portfolio brands. Notably, GlobalBees achieved unicorn status during his tenure. Prior to GlobalBees, Soni served as Vice President of the Growth division at boAt. He also had brief stints at WeCash, Milkbasket, and MobiKwik. According to sources, Daman Soni is overseeing AstroTalk’s e-commerce and direct-to-consumer (D2C) business. The Noida-based firm launched the Astrotalk Store late last year, offering gemstones and healing stones that astrologers charge with ‘positive mantras and chants.’ The company is now aiming to reach Rs 100 crore in annual recurring revenue (ARR) this month. Confirming the development to Entrackr, ⁠Anmol Jain, Cofounder & CBO, Astrotalk said, "We are thrilled to welcome Damandeep Singh Soni as the head of our e-commerce vertical. After building a Rs 1400+ crore ARR business in astrology consultations, our customers expressed a growing need for a trusted source for all their spiritual product purchases. With Daman’s extensive experience in scaling e-commerce businesses, we are confident and bullish about transforming this vertical into another Rs 1,000 crore ARR business in the coming years." AstroTalk, which is also planning an initial public offering in a year or two, elevated Anmol Jain to co-founder in late 2023 and appointed former Google executive Siddharth Prakash as Chief Technical Officer (CTO) in November 2023. AstroTalk saw strong growth in FY24, with revenue soaring 2.3X to Rs 651.12 crore and profit jumping 11.8X to Rs 99.99 crore. The firm aims to double revenue to Rs 1,250 crore in FY25 and targeting an operating profit of Rs 230-250 crore.

Powerhouse91 hits Rs 100 Cr ARR and EBITDA profitability with just $2.5 Mn funding

Powerhouse91 hits Rs 100 Cr ARR and EBITDA profitability with just $2.5 Mn funding Powerhouse91 secured just $2.5 million in funding from Titan Capital and a group of angel investors, including Haresh Chawla, FJ Labs, Crossbeam Venture Partners, and Mamaearth co-founder Varun Alagh. While many wellness-focused startups aim for rapid growth through broad product diversification, some like Mosaic Wellness and Innovist adopt a more focused approach—scaling a select set of high-potential brands by identifying underserved consumer needs and driving deep category innovation. This strategy allows them to maintain operational efficiency while building strong brand equity in niche but growing segments of personal care and wellness. One such example is Powerhouse91, which crossed Rs 100 crore in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in the last month of March, sources told Entrackr. “Besides breaching into the three digits ARR figure, Powerhouse91 achieved EBITDA profitability in April 2025," said one of the sources. “The company accomplished this through its focused efforts on two core brands and a strong commitment to financial discipline.” Launched in early 2022 by Aqib Mohammed and Shashwat Diesh, the company runs two consumer brands: Azah, focused on feminine hygiene and wellness, and Slovic, a brand centered around fitness. “This approach of not raising venture capital and focusing on organic growth potentially sets the company apart in a market where many D2C brands have struggled with high burn rates and poor capital efficiency,” pointed out a source. Unlike many D2C brands, Powerhouse91 relies entirely on online distribution, with most of its sales driven by quick commerce and e-commerce platforms such as Blinkit, Zepto, and Amazon. "In March, the company processed around 2.4 lakh orders, and its monthly volume is growing at a healthy double-digit rate,” said another source. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Powerhouse91 reported nearly Rs 40 crore in revenue along with Rs 5.97 crore in losses during the fiscal year ending March 2024 (FY24). Powerhouse91 declined to comment on the story. Wellness-led digital-first brands have steadily grown over the past few years, even as the broader D2C landscape faced headwinds in funding and customer acquisition.
