Delhi-based spiritual tech platform Bhagva has secured $1 million in pre-Series A funding, led by Australian investor Pradeep Nain, with participation from a handful of other private investors who’ve chosen to stay out of the spotlight.
The startup, founded in 2022 by Jagriti Motwani, is building something more than just another app. It’s creating a one-stop spiritual ecosystem—where you can book a pandit for a havan, get your daily Panchang, consult your horoscope, or participate in group chants—all from your phone or laptop.
The latest round of funding will be used to tighten up the tech stack, improve user experience, and scale operations as the platform expands to serve India’s increasingly digital and spiritually curious population.

Where Tradition Meets Tech
Bhagva’s offerings range from virtual poojas to doorstep deliveries of ritual essentials. But what makes it stand out in a sea of spiritual startups is its full-stack approach—handling everything from service bookings to product fulfillment in-house.
Jagriti’s vision is rooted in keeping the essence of Indian spirituality alive while adapting it for today’s lifestyle. “We’re not trying to change tradition. We’re just making it easier to access,” she explains.
More Than Business: A Platform With a Purpose
What makes Bhagva particularly unique is its social mission. The company actively works with women and artisans from underserved communities, training them in the creation of pooja essentials—like hand-rolled agarbattis, solar-powered diyas, and traditional decor items.
This isn’t just a CSR effort tacked onto the business—it’s baked into the model. By building a supply chain that creates economic opportunities for women, Bhagva is turning spiritual commerce into a tool for empowerment.

“Our goal is to blend devotion with dignity,” says Jagriti. “We want to make spiritual experiences available to all, while also supporting the people who’ve kept these traditions alive for generations.”
A Growing Market for the Soul
Bhagva is entering a space that’s heating up fast. With names like Astrotalk, AppsForBharat, Vama, and InstaAstro already drawing millions of users, the demand for spiritual services that fit into everyday digital life is only rising.
But Bhagva isn’t just competing—it’s carving out a space that’s personal, inclusive, and deeply rooted in community. And with fresh funding in hand, the platform is now ready to take that vision nationwide.
