VAMA Joins Indian Government-Backed ONDC

The ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) Network, which is supported by the Indian government, now includes VAMA.app, a virtual platform that is changing the conventional offline Mandir ecology into a digital arena.

By doing so, VAMA intends to broaden the scope of its app's spiritual offerings, making them more accessible to a more extensive pool of users.

Among the significant organizations that fall under the area of spiritual technology on the ONDC Network, VAMA.app is now included alongside the likes of ISKCON and Hari Bol.

Plans to Cater to a Vast Audience Through This Partnership

The Co-founder of VAMA.app, Manu Jain, made the following statement: "Our onboarding onto the ONDC Network symbolises our profound commitment to enriching spirituality and delivering transformative content directly to the hearts of our users." With the broad reach that ONDC possesses, we are now able to welcome a large audience that is eager to cultivate a more profound connection with their spirituality. Because of this project, unprecedented access to spiritual counsel and live events will be made available to us, which will allow us to give a spiritual journey that is both more immersive and more profound.

T. Koshy, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ONDC, emphasized the significance of the inclusion of VAMA.app in the network by stating, "The addition of VAMA.app onto the Network has demonstrated our open-for-all approach." Our ultimate goal is to become a one-stop shop for all of the users' day-to-day needs, making it possible for them to obtain services that cover everything from commercial to spiritual demands.

The incorporation of spiritual services not only allows us to broaden the scope of our offerings but also helps to preserve and promote India's cultural heritage in this age of digital technology. The availability of the VAMA.app on the ONDC Network would make it possible for devotees to connect with their faith seamlessly, overcoming both geographical geographical borders and time constraints. "This exemplifies our commitment to creating a digital marketplace that is truly inclusive and that caters to every aspect of Indian life," Koshy added.

Details of Expansion

VAMA.app intends to provide services such as virtual pujas, temple darshans, rituals, and astrology to a more widespread customer base by utilizing the large network that ONDC possesses.

In addition to enticing new customers who are interested in digital spiritual solutions, the migration is intended to make things more convenient for those who are already using the service.

The firm was founded in the latter half of the year 2020 by Aacharya Dev, Himanshu Semwal, and Manu Jain. It asserts that it has partnerships with more than 250 temples and that it has a network of more than 300 astrologers.
