India's spiritual economy, valued at approximately $58 billion as of 2025, is being transformed by technology, according to a report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and EY. Digital platforms, mobile apps, and online services are making religious practices more accessible to a tech-savvy population.
Key players include apps like 'Sri Mandir' and 'ePuja', which allow users to book virtual darshans, make donations, and receive prasad at home. The market for online spiritual services is growing at 20-25% annually, driven by India's 800 million internet users.
Startups are also leveraging AI for personalized horoscopes, virtual astrology consultations, and automated temple management systems. The trend reflects a broader shift where traditional beliefs meet modern convenience, with the sector expected to reach $100 billion by 2030.
