Devotional-tech startup DevDham, formerly known as DevDarshan, has shut down operations nearly two years after raising its seed funding round in January 2024, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The Gurugram based startup’s website is currently inaccessible, while users are also unable to log into its mobile application, indicating a complete halt in platform activity.
Multiple people aware of the development told Entrackr that the startup had remained largely inactive over the past few months.
The shutdown also comes amid key founder departures from the company.
According to sources, co-founder Suyash Taneja exited the startup in March 2026. His LinkedIn profile also reflects his departure during the same period.
Another co-founder, Sagnika Chowdhary, had earlier left the company in April 2025, as per details available on her LinkedIn profile.
Sources further said that DevDham had explored acquisition discussions with a few larger players operating in the devotional and spiritual-tech ecosystem over the past year. However, the talks reportedly did not materialise.
Entrackr has reached out to the company and Taneja for comments regarding the shutdown, founder exits, and future plans. The story will be updated if a response is received.
Founded in 2020 by Pranav Kapoor, Suyash Taneja and Sagnika Chowdhary, DevDham operated as a digital devotional platform enabling users to access online darshan, book pujas, and make donations to temples across India.
The startup claimed to have built a network of over 500 temples and more than 2,000 pandits across 18 states.
In January 2024, the company had announced a Rs 6 crore 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.
DevDham operated in India’s emerging spiritual-tech segment, competing with platforms such as AppsForBharat’s Sri Mandir, Vama, Utsav App, Sutradhar, Ghar Mandir, and 27 Mantra.
While players like Sri Mandir and Vama have continued to scale and attract investor capital, several startups in the category have struggled with monetisation and retention challenges.
In 2024, another devotional startup, My Tirth India, had also shut down operations citing a funding crunch.
The development highlights the growing divergence within India’s spiritual-tech ecosystem, where a handful of well-funded platforms are consolidating market share while smaller players continue facing challenges around scalability, capital access, and sustainable user engagement.
