VAMA aims to provide divine and fulfilling spiritual experiences to its users and our goal is to offer devotees from all over the world convenient, time-effective and easy access to pujas and darshans in temples located all over India. The latest round of funding will allow us to invest in good talent in technology among other verticals, which are crucial to offering an unparalleled experience to users," said Manu Jain, co-founder, VAMA.

Bringing technology and convenience to spirituality is much needed, and it is something I have considered. It struck a chord with me, so I'm thrilled to be a part of their journey and can't wait to see what the team creates," said Arjun Vaidya, founder, Dr. Vaidya's.
