India's AstroTech Boom: A $163M Market Faces Accountability Questions
Imagine apps that give advice based on astrology.
In India, lots of people are using them, especially young adults, to get help with things like relationships and jobs.
These apps are making a lot of money, but there's a problem: they're not really watched over by the law.
This means it's easy for people to make promises they can't keep, and there's not much protection for users if they get a bad experience.
India's astrology app market is valued at $163 million and is projected to reach $1.79 billion by 2030.
Platforms like Astrosure.ai use AI to offer personalized spiritual services, with many users seeking relationship and marriage advice.
Gen Z and millennials form the majority of users, seeking immediate answers and guidance in their preferred languages.
Astrotalk, the leading platform, generated Rs 659 crore in revenue in FY24, with plans for an IPO.
Experts highlight the lack of regulation, and the challenges in holding astrologers legally accountable for predictions.
