The fresh capital will be used to bolster product development, introduce new service verticals, and acquire new talent. With the latest round funding, the startup has so far raised a total of $1 million in funding.
Manu Jain, cofounder of Vama, said, “The demand for e-pujas and online mandir darshans is here to stay, as more Indians realise the benefits of and embrace digital services. During the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, our platform saw a huge influx of devotees from all age groups and geographies.”
Himanshu Semwal, cofounder of Vama, said, “The emphasis is on converting the offline mandir ecosystem to digital via content-driven products that are engaging, empowering, and habit-forming. While the category appeals to a broader audience, two-thirds of our first-time users have been Gen-Z.”
Founded in late 2020 by Jain, Semwal and Acharya Dev, Vama is a one-stop virtual platform that provides easy access to e-pujas, e-darshans, and astrology services to devotees from across India and the world. The app is only available on Android devices as of now.
