DevDham, the spiritual-tech platform formerly known as DevDarshan, has reportedly shut down operations nearly two years after raising its seed funding round in January 2024.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the startup’s website is currently inaccessible and users are unable to log into its mobile application, indicating that services have been discontinued. Multiple sources also stated that the Gurugram-based company had remained inactive for several months before the apparent shutdown.
The development comes amid a series of founder exits at the company. Sources revealed that co-founder Suyash Taneja left the startup in March 2026, a move that is also reflected on his LinkedIn profile.
Another co-founder, Sagnika Chowdhary, had reportedly exited the company earlier in April 2025.
Founded in 2020 by Pranav Kapoor, Suyash Taneja, and Sagnika Chowdhary, DevDham aimed to digitise religious and spiritual experiences by enabling devotees to book online darshan, pujas, and temple donations through its platform.
The startup claimed to have built a network of more than 500 temples and 2,000 pandits spread across 18 Indian states.
In January 2024, DevDham raised Rs 6 crore in a seed funding round co-led by Titan Capital, All In Capital, Veda VC, and TDV Partners.
Overall, the startup had raised nearly $1 million in funding during its journey.
Sources also indicated that DevDham had explored acquisition discussions with larger players operating in the devotional and spiritual-tech sector over the past year. However, the talks reportedly failed to materialise.
The startup operated in India’s rapidly growing spiritual-tech ecosystem and competed with platforms such as Sri Mandir, Vama, Utsav App, Sutradhar, Ghar Mandir, and 27 Mantra.
While companies like Sri Mandir and Vama have continued to scale and attract fresh investments, the sector has also witnessed challenges around monetisation and funding sustainability.
In 2024, another devotional startup, My Tirth India, also shut down operations due to a funding crunch.
DevDham’s closure highlights the increasing pressure on early-stage startups to achieve sustainable growth and profitability, even in emerging digital sectors such as spiritual technology and online devotional services.
