AstroTalk’s e-commerce store cross Rs 200 cr ARR

What began as an internal experiment with an initial investment of just ₹30 lakh has turned into a major revenue pillar for AstroTalk. The company reported that the Store generated over ₹140 crore in revenue in 2025 and is now operating at a run rate exceeding ₹200 crore as of January 2026.

The “Trust-Led” Commerce Model

The success of the vertical is attributed to “astrologer-led guidance.” Unlike traditional e-commerce, purchases on AstroTalk are often triggered by direct consultations where experts recommend specific remedies.

  • Authenticity Gap: Founder Puneet Gupta noted that the market was previously fragmented, with consumers forced to choose between local vendors with no standardization or online sellers with questionable authenticity.
  • Certified Products: AstroTalk Store provides certified gemstones, rudrakshas, and “energized” products, solving the trust deficit in the spiritual market.

Growth Metrics & Operations

To support this growth, the company infused an additional ₹40 crore into the vertical in 2025 to strengthen supply chains and expand its product catalog.

Strategic Roadmap: Tier II Expansion & IPO

AstroTalk’s e-commerce strategy is increasingly focused on “Bharat” (Tier II and III cities), which are expected to contribute 50% of future sales.

  1. Revenue Goal: The company is targeting an ARR of ₹400–500 crore for the e-commerce vertical by FY27.
  2. Unicorn Valuation: AstroTalk is currently in advanced talks to raise $50–$100 million at a unicorn valuation ($1B+), which would make it the first venture-funded astrology platform to reach this milestone.
  3. IPO 2026: The company has already onboarded a CFO and is preparing to file its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) by mid-2026 for a late 2026 or early 2027 listing.

Conclusion

AstroTalk’s transition from a consultation-only platform to a holistic spiritual brand has been remarkably efficient. By leveraging its existing base of 8 crore registered users, the company has built a high-margin e-commerce business with virtually zero customer acquisition costs (CAC). As the “faith economy” continues to boom, AstroTalk Store is positioned to become the “Amazon of Spirituality” for a new generation of digital-first devotees.
