Founder & Builder in AI — The Story Behind Astro247

I build products that show up for people in moments of uncertainty.

Prem Dharmani, Founder and CEO of Astro247

Where it started

I've spent my career building consumer products that meet people where they already are — on their phones, in the middle of ordinary life. Before Astro247, that meant helping people book a trip on MakeMyTrip or Goibibo, get instant credit on EarlySalary (now Fibe India), consult a doctor on mFine, or unwind with a game on MPL.

Somewhere across those years, I noticed a pattern: the products that mattered most weren't necessarily the most complex — they were the ones that showed up for people at the right moment, with the right amount of trust built in.

Why Astro247

Millions of people in India turn to astrology for guidance in moments of uncertainty — career decisions, relationships, health, finance. That guidance has traditionally been hard to access, inconsistent in quality, and slow. As CEO of Astro247, I set out to change that by combining AI with Vedic astrology principles, making trustworthy, personalised guidance available anytime, on demand.
