Devdham: Closure of the Devotional Platform
Devdham, the inspirational platform previously referred to as DevDarshan, has halted operations almost two years after securing its seed funding round in January 2024, as per information provided by sources close to the situation. Currently, Devdham’s website is not accessible, and users cannot log in to its mobile application, signifying a complete stop in operations. Numerous sources have informed Startup Superb that the Gurugram-based platform had been dormant for several months.
Sources indicated that co-founder Suyash Taneja departed from the business in March 2026, a detail confirmed by his LinkedIn profile. Another co-founder, Sagnika Chowdhary, also left the organisation earlier in April 2025, as shown on her LinkedIn.
Reportedly, Devdham engaged in discussions regarding potential acquisitions with several larger entities in the devotional and spiritual-tech sector over the previous year. However, these negotiations did not reach fruition.
Startup Superb has contacted Devdham and Taneja with specific questions concerning the closure, founder departures, and the future direction of the company. Updates will be provided if responses are received.
Founded in 2020 by Pranav Kapoor, Suyash Taneja, and Sagnika Chowdhary, Devdham provided devotees the ability to engage in online darshan, book pujas, and make digital contributions to temples throughout India. The platform boasted a network of more than 500 temples and 2,000 pandits across 18 states.
In January 2024, the startup disclosed a seed round of Rs 6 crore, co-led by Titan Capital, All In Capital, Veda VC, and TDV Partners. In total, the startup had accumulated nearly $1 million in funding to date.
Devdham faced competition from platforms such as AppsForBharat’s Sri Mandir, Vama, Utsav App, Sutradhar, Ghar Mandir, and 27 Mantra. In 2024, another venture in the same segment, My Tirth India, also ended its operations, citing financial difficulties.
Devdham encountered competition from platforms like AppsForBharat’s Sri Mandir, Vama, Utsav App, Sutradhar, Ghar Mandir, and 27 Mantra. While Sri Mandir and Vama have continued their growth and secured additional funding in the spiritual-tech market, My Tirth India ceased its operations in 2024 due to a funding shortage.
