What happens when tradition meets technology and creates a niche few saw coming? You get a spiritual revolution with millions of users and VCs lining up. AppsForBharat, the parent company of Sri Mandir, has raised ₹175 Cr in a new round led by Susquehanna Asia Venture Capital, with participation from Nandan Nilekani’s Fundamentum, Elevation Capital, and Peak XV. Founded by Prashant Sachan, Sri Mandir has: • 4 Cr+ downloads • 70+ temples onboard • 52 lakh+ online pujas • 20%+ users from global NRI communities From digitizing 20 temple towns to AI-led spiritual journeys, this isn’t just tech: it’s culture, devotion, and community for the digital age. Is faith-tech India’s next big category? Can it be our global soft power export? What do you think - is this India’s next billion-user opportunity?
