Our Story & Founders
How it started and where are we now?
Jothishi was founded in 2018 with a bold vision — to become India’s most trusted and advanced astrology brand. Over the years, we’ve created groundbreaking tools like matchmaking, marriage date prediction, kundali matching, when will I go abroad, and free horoscopes — all built with years of astrological practice and technical precision. These products remain unmatched, even today.
Our path wasn’t paved with instant success. Growth was slow, sometimes uncertain, but we never paused. From the early days, Dakshath became the creative heartbeat of our digital journey — producing and editing over 1,500 videos that built our presence on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Today, we’re proud to be verified on both platforms, and our tools at Jothishi.com have helped lakhs of users across India and beyond.
As we evolved, we set our sights on the future. That future came to life through Jothishi.ai — our Astro AI companion built to answer nearly any astrology-related question across love, career, stress, life guidance, and more. This intelligent system, coded by Praveen, is powered by over 100 diverse surfaces of astrological data and represents our biggest step yet toward blending Vedic wisdom with modern technology.
The journey of Jothishi wouldn’t have been possible without the collective passion of a few remarkable individuals. Anand Vadakepat, our Managing Director, has been the steady engine — carrying the weight of Jothishi through ups and downs with relentless belief. Rahul and Karthik, two of our earliest contributors, helped shape our core offerings — building products that remain at the heart of Jothishi even today. Praveen, with his quiet brilliance, laid the foundation for our tech infrastructure and the AI engine. Sourabh, our original investor, believed in the dream when it was only an idea — and continues to stand by us, five years later, with the same faith. And Anitha Anand, with her quiet strength and emerging leadership, now prepares to guide the company into its next phase.
Today, Jothishi is stepping into an exciting new chapter with the launch of our premium incense brand: From The House Of Jothishi — a wellness venture rooted in the same spirit that built our company: authenticity, belief, and excellence.
We may not be a household name yet, but we know this — Jothishi is built with heart, driven by vision, and determined to create impact. And we’re just getting started.
