Acharya Pradeep Bhanot, Founder of Pradeep Bhanot's The Cosmic Voice
In India, if your love life hits rock bottom, or if your career feels challenging, and if you just can't decide the right date for your marriage, chances are your first call is rarely to a friend. It's for an astrologer. Maybe someone online, maybe your family astrologer. Astrology is not just another superstition now. It is deeply ingrained in the very fabric of daily social life.
Even in 2025, from choosing auspicious wedding dates to laying the foundation of a new business venture, Indians have long found support in celestial charts and cosmic guidance to navigate the ebbs and flows of their lives.
Therefore, in the same vein, India's astrology sector has experienced tremendous change in the past ten years, especially fuelled by the pandemic.
Growth & Market Size
Previously, the art of seeking guidance was restricted only to local astrologers through word-of-mouth, but now digitisation has made the industry an organised one, estimated at a billion dollars. Rapid ownership of smartphones and Internet penetration have made various astrology sites and apps a constant go-to, linking people with expert astrologers for advice on relationships, career, finance, health, and other aspects of life.
As per the latest market reports, the India Astrology App Market was approximately USD 163 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach close to USD 1.8 billion by 2030. The market will be growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49.19% from 2025 to 2030. Some of the reasons behind this growth include traditional cultural beliefs in astrology, improvement in digital infrastructure, and a growing demand for customized advice.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift from offline to online consultations, as people seek meta-physical and spiritual answers during times of uncertainty.
Against this increasing demand, Acharya Pradeep Bhanot, a Panchkula-based astrologer and vastu consultant, has gathered enough merit and name in this line of work with his organization, Pradeep Bhanot's The Cosmic Voice.
With nearly two decades of experience, Pradeep Bhanot has garnered a diverse range of clients, including business icons, celebrities, and sports personalities, along with an expanding international client base.

His Early Interest in Astrology
Pradeep Bhanot developed an interest in astrology in the early 1990s. When astrology was still considered an age-old practice inherited from generations, he became extremely interested in Vedic sciences. Under the guidance of world-famous astrologer Dr. Ajai Bhambi, he gained deeper insights into Vedic astrology and Vastu Shastra.
This guided mentorship gave him a strategic and systematic framework for reading patterns of the stars and applying them to human details, which eventually led to the foundation of his own independent practice.
He explains:“Astrology isn’t just about foretelling the future; it is a map of the soul, revealing our strengths, weaknesses, and innate potential. By understanding the celestial influences on our lives, we can harness their energies to lead more fulfilling and purposeful lives.”
Services Offered Under ‘Pradeep Bhanot's The Cosmic Voice’
Through his consultancy, Pradeep Bhanot’s The Cosmic Voice, he offers a range of services including horoscope analysis, vastu consultations, and astrology-based life guidance. His expertise lies particularly in vastu rectification without structural changes: an approach that allows individuals and organizations to harmonize their living or work environments without undergoing costly renovations.
Another distinctive aspect of his work is the “Soul Motivation Session,” which focuses on personal development and overcoming mental barriers. These sessions are designed for individuals and corporate employees to help them identify limiting beliefs, build self-confidence, and improve clarity of thought.
Speaking about the intent behind such sessions, Pradeep Bhanot said: “Many people approach me expecting only predictions. What they often realize is that astrology can also be a tool for self-awareness. My goal is to provide clarity, so they can make empowered choices rather than simply waiting for circumstances to unfold.”
His insights and expertise have been featured in leading publications, including Hindustan Times, Hello Entrepreneurs, and even international platforms such as Amazon.

How personal life shaped professional?
His personal life influenced his path into astrology. In the early 1990s, there was a time of economic hardship for Bhanot's family. The family approached an astrologer seeking advice, and this exposure to the role celestial sciences could play in one's life had a profound impact on him. It was the starting point for his interest in astrology.
Encouraged to know the discipline more intimately, Pradeep Bhanot apprenticed with Dr. Ajai Bhambi, one of the world's leading astrologers. From Bhambi, he gained technical expertise in Vedic astrology as well as an understanding of how these sciences may be used in daily life. He has since characterized this time as critical to his finding his calling.
Conceptualisation of ‘Pradeep Bhanot’s The Cosmic Voice’
In 2005, Pradeep Bhanot set up Pradeep Bhanot’s The Cosmic Voice, his learning platform and consultancy. Through this venture, he provides services in astrology, Vastu Shastra, and motivational counseling.
His client base is a diverse mix of individuals: celebrities, business tycoons, corporate professionals, and athletes, and also a world audience accessing him through virtual consultations. With a professional practice of almost two decades, he is trusted by clients for predictions that they themselves term to be over 80 percent accurate.
Pradeep Bhanot has stated that astrology should not be seen as a tool of dependence but as a way to encourage self-reliance. “Astrology can give direction, but action lies with the individual. My role is to guide, not to create dependency,” he explains.
In addition to individual consultations, Pradeep Bhanot envisions building a community of like-minded astrologers dedicated to studying astrology with seriousness and integrity. His stated mission is to highlight the tangible benefits of the practice while countering myths and misinterpretations that often surround it.

His Thoughts On Astrology Apps
When asked about the rapid rise of astrology apps, Pradeep Bhanot shared an optimistic perspective.
Rather than viewing them as competition, he sees them as market expanders. “These platforms don’t shrink opportunities for individual practitioners; they actually widen the circle of people turning to astrology for guidance. They increase the total addressable market, and that in itself is a wonderful thing,” he noted.
Nearly twenty years since the foundation of Pradeep Bhanot's The Cosmic Voice, he remains an important figure in Indian astrology, with his work continuing to evolve alongside the growing digital landscape.
On his approach to combining astrology with personal growth, he noted: “Astrology can give direction, but it is up to individuals to take action. My consultations are not about instilling dependency; they are about helping people understand themselves better, so they can move forward with confidence.”
The rise of astrology apps and consultation sites indicates that the industry is moving toward greater technological integration. These platforms have created a marketplace for astrologers to offer consultations to both Indian and international audiences.
