Can you explain the basic idea behind starting the venture?
Can you explain the basic idea behind starting the venture?
Santosh
Agrawal: The basic idea to get into this business is to
facilitate the Hindu households living in the urban areas away from their
native places and wants to perform their rituals. But due to fear and
non-availability of authentic puja samagri and pandit, it is almost impossible
to pursue the tradition conveniently. We are trying to address this problem
locally and trying to give them services with the help of technology.

get connected with their motherland and pursue all traditional rituals with same
sense of feeling and emotions.
