AppsForBharat, a Bengaluru-based product studio focused on developing apps for Indian users' spiritual and devotional needs, has raised $4 million in a seed funding round led by Sequoia Capital India, BEENEXT, and WEH Ventures.

The funds will be used primarily for product development and the recruitment of tech talent, according to a statement.

Speaking on the development, Hero Choudhary, Managing Partner, BEENEXT said,  "We are very excited to partner with Prashant and AppsForBharat in this amazing journey. Spirituality is an integral part of every Indian’s daily life and AppsForBharat is bringing it to the digital era through various daily use case apps. We look forward to a long-lasting partnership.”

AppsforBharat aspires to be a digital spiritual haven for those seeking to deepen their spiritual and devotional journeys with the convenience of their smartphones. Their apps are attempting to convert offline behavior to online behavior, resulting in the formation of a digital habit.

Launched in November 2020 by Prashant Sachan with the goal of creating a spiritual-tech company that caters specifically to the needs of Indians.

The platform is currently working on a number of mobile apps that will provide a better user experience and address the country's many unmet spiritual and devotional needs. High-quality spiritual, devotional, wellbeing, and meditation-related tools, communities, and services will be the company's diverse offerings.

Prashant Sachan, Founder and CEO, AppsForBharat added, "Spiritual and devotional practices are an inseparable part of the daily lives of millions of people in India - during good or bad times, it not only offers them hope but also elevates their mental wellness and spirit. We are putting together a great team that is customer obsessed and building it the right way - focussing on user delight and their retention. Our aim is to build products that users love, one that becomes a daily habit for a billion Indians, products that offer happiness and peace.”

The company is looking to hire Product, Data, and Engineering talent who want to be a part of this larger digital spiritual transformation and aspire to impact billions of lives.
