NEW DELHI: Spiritual tech startup Rgyan has launched Rgyan Bodhi, an AI-powered devotional assistant that blends ancient wisdom with modern intelligence to deliver tailored spiritual experiences to users in India and across the globe.
Billed as a “living, breathing spiritual companion,” Bodhi taps into users’ birth details, location, and preferences to offer daily Panchang insights, personalised horoscopes, and dynamic astrological remedies. The app also suggests curated mantras for peace, prosperity and health, alongside Shubh Muhurat timings and graha gochar alerts.
“Rgyan Bodhi is designed to light up your path and walk with you every step of your digital devotional journey,” said Rgyan co-founder & CEO Umesh Khatri. “In today’s fast-paced world, people are truly seeking inner peace and deeper connections. We’ve used the power of AI to bring the richness of our spiritual/devotional traditions directly to individuals, customized to their unique spiritual needs. This isn’t just about information; it’s about nurturing genuine spiritual growth and holistic well-being.”
The assistant also doubles as a gateway to India’s spiritual ecosystem, offering ritual guides, sacred texts, guided meditations, and smart recommendations for puja items, rudraksha, pilgrimages, and astrology consultations. Users can engage with Rgyan’s growing spiritual network through built-in community features.
Founded in 2018 by Khatri and Devendar Agarwal, Rgyan started as a devotional blog and has since evolved into a full-stack spiritual platform. The company claims it has built Bodhi with a strong focus on privacy, data security, and cultural integrity.
Available on both the Rgyan website and app, the platform has racked up 8.7 million+ user visits, 63.7 million+ impressions, 15,000+ content uploads, and over 10,000 e-commerce transactions. With more than 4,000 devotional blogs and 10,000+ watch hours logged, the company is now betting on AI to power the next phase of spiritual engagement.

Swiggy sees record orders during India vs New Zealand T20 final
Chicken biryani tops match-day menu as fans order 7,500 times per minute at peak.
MUMBAI: India’s T20 final didn’t just break stumps, it broke Swiggy’s delivery records, proving cricket fans celebrate victories with plates, not just flags. Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a sharp spike in food orders during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand. On 8 March 2026, overall orders rose 23.2 per cent year-on-year compared with the same date in 2025, driven by fans turning living rooms into mini stadiums complete with match-day feasts.
Key highlights from the evening:
- Orders during peak match hours (7–10 pm) were 2.1 times higher than pre-match levels.
- The highest order rate hit 7,500 orders per minute at 19:45.
- Chicken biryani reigned supreme as the most-ordered dish, followed by masala dosa, chicken fried rice, garlic breadsticks and paneer butter masala.
While metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad led volumes, the cricketing fever spread nationwide. Among emerging cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat and Rajkot recorded the strongest order growth. Smaller markets including Shillong, Agartala and Port Blair also showed significant appetite, underlining the expanding footprint of quick-commerce food delivery across India.
The surge reflects a growing trend of pairing major sporting events with doorstep delivery, turning big matches into shared, convenient celebrations. In a night where every boundary mattered, Swiggy proved the real MVP might just be the delivery partner who kept the snacks and the vibes flowing without missing a single wicket.
