MyNaksh is building a ‘personal astrology guide’ that uses artificial intelligence to understand each user’s unique context and deliver tailored astrological insights from the first interaction. The product blends human expert astrologers, one-on-one connections, and AI-generated readings to deepen user trust and engagement over time. Positioned as a faith-tech offering, the company aims to restore astrology’s credibility by replacing gimmicky, chat-first services with a richer, data-driven experience. The founding team—Nitesh Salvi, Devaang Agarwalla, Gaurav Mohta, and Piyush Nagle—draws on leadership experience from consumer-tech giants such as PhonePe, Razorpay, Hotstar, Gameskraft, and Swiggy. Backers believe this mix of product judgment and a human-in-the-loop approach differentiates MyNaksh in India’s under-innovated spiritual market. With fresh capital, the startup plans to scale its AI platform rapidly and reach millions of users seeking personalized self-awareness and growth tools.
