I have already built mandhiram similar to your idea. Dropped it due to funding issues, nd investors don't invest due to no viable exit.

I'm concerned about how you'll handle religious sensitivities across different faiths. Will your AI properly understand the nuances between different sects within Hinduism? What about coverage of Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, and Muslim pilgrimage sites? Religious tourism in India isn't homogeneous, and developing appropriate content and features that respect these differences requires deep theological understanding, not just technical skills. I'd be skeptical of any platform claiming to cover all religions equally well without specialized expertise for each faith tradition.

The market projections feel wildly optimistic. $151B by 2034? There's already fierce competition in this space - MakeMyTrip has a dedicated spiritual packages section, specialized players like Yatra Seva and Religious Yatra have established user bases, and most major temples now have their own apps. Your "prototype" seems to be repackaging features that already exist across multiple platforms. What's your actual differentiator? Generic AI features aren't enough when you're late to a crowded market. You need something truly unique to stand out against entrenched competitors.
