Flipkart wanted to acquire them for $18-24 million! But why?

    Share on

India’s $10B+ astrology industry is rooted in belief — but plagued by chaos. Most platforms are fragmented, untrustworthy, and offline-first. Enter InstaAstro, founded in 2021 by IIT alumnus Nitin Verma, which turned spirituality into a structured, scalable, and digital-first experience.

Without splurging on paid ads, InstaAstro leaned into a powerful, low-CAC strategy: YouTube Shorts. No hard-selling. Just everyday problems, Vedic wisdom, and free remedies — all presented through authentic, relatable content. The result? A loyal Tier 2 & Tier 3 user base built on trust, not targeting.

Today, they clock:

  • 5M+ users

  • 200K+ app installs/month

  • 50K+ daily consultation minutes

  • $5M+ annual revenue

And now, Flipkart is eyeing a stake — valued between $18–25M.

The secret? It wasn’t just another astrology app. It was faith, made digital. They built a “trust-first, monetization-later” model — creating emotional resonance before charging a rupee.

Key Insight: In a culturally complex market like India, simplicity and sincerity scale better than strategy alone. Faith is big business — and InstaAstro found the perfect intersection of belief, tech, and content to win it.
