Lumikai leads $1.2 Mn seed round in AskMyGuru

Lumikai is proud to lead the $1.2M seed round in AskMyGuru, an AI-powered interactive spiritual-tech platform reimagining how users engage with India’s rich Vedic wisdom.

Founded by ex-MPL product and brand leaders Krishna Mohan Vedula and Vivek Sadamate, AskMyGuru blends AI, gamification, and Indic knowledge systems to deliver deeply personal and immersive spiritual experiences. Built on a custom-trained LLM and a hybrid model of AI avatars and human guidance, the platform brings scale, accessibility, and authenticity to spiritual engagement.

We’re backing this team for their proven execution in scaling consumer platforms to 100M+ users and triple-digit million revenues. Their product-led approach — combining cultural depth with interactive design — solves key challenges around quality, consistency, and availability that have long existed in this space.

India’s spiritual-tech sector is poised for growth, with the broader faith economy valued at over $35B. Platforms offering digital-first spiritual experiences are demonstrating strong user engagement and monetisation potential. AskMyGuru has launched in five languages and is gaining early momentum through its AI-led format and community-first design.

Commenting on the fundraise, Krishna Mohan Vedula, Co-Founder of AskMyGuru, said, “We are delighted to have our seed round led by Lumikai, investors who truly grasp the seismic opportunity in redefining spiritual-tech with new-age interactive and immersive mechanics.”

Aditya Deshpande, Vice President at Lumikai, added, “AskMyGuru sits at the nexus of India's spiritual heritage and next-generation interactive technology. The platform brilliantly reimagines spiritual guidance as an immersive digital journey, creating meaningful connections through thoughtfully designed interactions. The platform perfectly embodies our thesis on “Systems of Play”, i.e products disrupting legacy industries with lean-forward, interactive, and gamified experiences.”

We’re excited to partner with Krishna, Vivek, and the AskMyGuru team as they build a category-defining platform at the intersection of culture, technology, and interactivity.
