Who can make money in India? - Astro, Cricket (Gambling), Bollywood and Religion

Goes to show how desperate Indian people are for solutions in life that they are doling out money to babas and astrologers But then again, we've always been that kind of a people Retention and sustainability will be a huge problem if the customers aren't happy with results though. Will be interesting to see the next few years playing out for astrotalk.

Tax astrology same way as gambling and we will see few of these scammers

Astrology is not even scientific it's like promoting superstition but govt is not give a F

Tells a lot about us consumers rather than about the business. Businesses are meant to exploit any gap they see and an opportunity to make money out of it.

Dharm se Bada koi Dhandha nahi

With only 800K in funding Edtechs can't achieve sh*t with billions

Bro is this the same Astro Talk that keeps saying "this guy predicted anushka and virat marriage"? Bro if thats the case I am gonna jump off my roof WTF

+ content creation though this is global

I've seen an engineering graduate from NIT, working as astrologer on astrotalk app, they've somehow won credibility of professionally educated crowd. app is easy to use, they change money according to duration of chat / call, mostly hosts are "hope selling yes men" sir ye 4 steps krlo, xyz problem resolved ho jaega, but it's atleast comforting to have someone polite and non judgemental talking on otherside. PS. I used their 5 mins free service, no extensive experience.

Monetising fear and desperation. Biggest category at Astrotalk is love life, followed by business advise and then health. 70-30 Female to male split. Fear of some gullible love struck females being monetised.

I want to see a startup offering mental health counseling having this much revenue as supposedly gained by astrotalk.

Wedding industry as well

When it's about Astro, chose nomy and not logy I have said this to 100's before (in my mind obviously, geminis kattal karva de na toh)

Now I just want to see an AI-based Astrology app in a YCombinator Cohort

A person i know is a vp at a company and also a numerologist. They easily make ~60k a month by barely investing any time on the numerology thing, (charge 5k a session and have 3-4 sessions per week). They did a lot of studying etc to come at this level and tested with close friends and family lol. I was one of them and it helped me at that time… Their next goal is to make the website big and invest in SEO, then retire. Currently they use this additional income for fun stuff like buying bikes/gadgets etc

Nowadays apart from Hindu community other communities such as Muslims, Christian etc community have been brainwashed due to digital marketing.One astrologer told me that I would be billionaire after age of 30 but I am still struggling to meet needs that shows how this business exploits everything to make money.

I have been following him for quite some time and astrology is literally a money printer. Not for every pandit ofcourse. The ones that are established, do very well for themselves. Multiple crs/yr

Astrotalk had a customer spending 2cr on a service. Dont know any such service where individuals will spend such money for mentoring

Next big idea... VCs can fund a baba with required infra(ashram,et al) and pressurise him to acquire followers at a faster pace so that they can break even and exit the venture by listing in NSE

I want to know what percentage of females are paid users of these apps? I assume females fall for these things more
