Astrotalk FY26 profit surges 10x to ₹222 crore, revenue tops ₹1,800 crore
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Noida-based astrology and spiritual wellness platform Astrotalk has posted a more than tenfold jump in net profit for FY26, clocking ₹222 crore in net earnings against ₹22 crore in the previous fiscal year. Revenue from operations rose 55 per cent year-on-year to ₹1,823 crore from ₹1,176 crore in FY25, driven by strong growth in its core consultation business, rapid international expansion, and a scaling e-commerce vertical.
Consultation Revenue Remains the Backbone
Astrotalk's primary offering — paid chat, call, and video consultations with astrologers — continued to generate the bulk of income. Consultation revenue climbed 45 per cent to ₹1,657 crore in FY26 from ₹1,139 crore a year earlier, accounting for approximately 91 per cent of total operating revenue. The breadth of the platform's astrologer network and a growing repeat-user base have helped sustain this dominant share even as newer verticals scaled up.
International Business Emerges as a Major Growth Engine
A standout development in FY26 was the acceleration of Astrotalk's overseas business. International revenue surged 2.6 times to ₹621 crore from ₹236 crore in FY25, lifting its share of total revenue to 34 per cent from 20 per cent the year before. International markets contributed more than half of the company's incremental revenue during the fiscal year, signalling that global appetite for digital astrology services extends well beyond India. Domestic revenue also expanded, rising 28 per cent to ₹1,202 crore.
Astrotalk Store Becomes a 'Real Second Business'
Astrotalk's e-commerce arm, the Astrotalk Store, recorded the sharpest growth rate across all segments. The store, which sells certified Rudraksha, gemstones, crystals, and Vastu-related products through its own platform and online marketplaces, saw revenue jump 4.4 times to ₹166 crore in FY26 from just ₹37 crore the previous year. Founder and CEO Puneet Gupta highlighted this in his remarks: 'We set out to build a diversified, global business from India, and FY26 shows it is working. A third of our revenue now comes from outside India, and Astrotalk Store has grown into a real second business.'
Advertising Spend More Than Doubles
The company's rapid expansion came with a sharp rise in costs. Advertising and business promotion expenses more than doubled to ₹823 crore from ₹337 crore, making up over half of total expenses as Astrotalk ramped up customer acquisition. Legal and professional expenses rose to ₹550 crore from ₹515 crore, a category that includes payments made to astrologers for consultations. The tenfold profit jump, achieved despite the surge in marketing outlay, reflects significantly improved operating leverage across the business.
What the Numbers Signal for the Sector
Astrotalk's FY26 results mark a notable inflection for India's digital wellness and astrology segment, which has drawn growing interest from investors tracking consumer internet plays. The company's ability to nearly treble international revenue in a single year, while also diversifying into e-commerce, suggests the addressable market for organised astrology platforms is larger — and more global — than earlier estimates indicated. How the company manages its cost structure, particularly advertising intensity, as it matures will be closely watched ahead of any potential public market move.
