Startup Originals Team
In a fast-paced digital world where technology simplifies almost every aspect of our daily lives, the sacred realm of spirituality is often left behind. But what if devotion was as accessible and modern as every app on your phone? Enter Bhagva, a spiritual-tech startup founded by Jagriti Motwani, which is transforming Indian devotional practices by fusing tradition with technology. This innovative approach has not only touched countless lives but has also earned Jagriti the prestigious “Innovator of the Year – Spiritual Tech” award at the ET Indo Global Leaders 2025 summit in Dubai.
The Visionary Journey of Jagriti Motwani:
Jagriti Motwani launched Bhagva in 2022 with a clear purpose: to make spiritual services easily accessible to devotees, while empowering community members and preserving tradition. Her leadership and fresh perspective recently received global recognition at the ET Indo Global Leaders event, celebrating her as a trailblazer in the emerging field of spiritual technology.
“Technology has simplified almost every part of our lives, so why not spirituality? With Bhagva, we wanted to make devotion as accessible as everything else tech has touched,” says Jagriti.
What is Bhagva? The New-Age Spiritual Ecosystem:
Bhagva isn’t just an app – it’s a holistic platform designed for the spiritual needs of modern India and the global Hindu diaspora. Through an easy-to-use interface, users can:
- Book online and offline Pooja services for themselves, their families, or even for corporate and organizational needs.
- Explore daily panchang (Hindu calendar), astrology, and jaap services.
- Experience immersive virtual temple visits from the comfort of home.
- Order special pooja items through an integrated devotional shop.
Empowering Communities: Economic and Social Impact
One aspect that sets Bhagva apart is its commitment to uplifting those who make daily devotion possible. The platform partners with Pandits and Purohits, ensuring fair compensation, ongoing training, and respect for their work. Beyond this, Bhagva is deeply involved in empowering women and artisans from underrepresented communities:
- Women and local artisans receive training in crafting sacred products like solar diyas, incense sticks, and handmade pooja items.
- This not only helps preserve ancient skills but also creates sustainable livelihoods, blending economic empowerment with spiritual purpose.
