The appointment was first reported by ISN earlier this month, underscoring Astrotalk’s commitment to enhancing its executive team with seasoned professionals capable of steering the company through a critical growth phase.
With over two decades of experience in financial strategy, compliance, and risk management, Deepak Khetan brings a wealth of expertise to the organization. As CFO, he will be responsible for driving financial planning, compliance oversight, risk management, and investor relations while also contributing to wider business decision-making at the leadership level. His immediate focus will be to design and implement a robust financial structure that can support Astrotalk’s rapid growth and provide a solid foundation for its upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) journey.
Astrotalk’s Growth Story
Founded in 2017, Astrotalk has rapidly evolved into one of India’s leading astrology consultation platforms, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern technology. Through its mobile-first approach, the startup connects users with a wide pool of verified astrologers offering services in astrology, tarot, numerology, and other spiritual guidance domains. Today, the platform serves millions of users globally and has recorded exponential revenue growth over the past few years.
Astrotalk’s growing popularity reflects the broader rise of spirituality-driven technology solutions in India and beyond. As more consumers seek personalized guidance for their professional, financial, and personal lives, Astrotalk has positioned itself as a trusted brand that blends authenticity, accessibility, and innovation.
Strategic Leadership Strengthening
The appointment of a dedicated CFO comes at a time when Astrotalk is entering a new phase of maturity. The company has already achieved profitability and demonstrated consistent growth, and now aims to expand its footprint through both organic and strategic initiatives.
Commenting on his new role, Deepak Khetan said:
“I am delighted to join Astrotalk at such an exciting stage in its growth journey. The company has built a strong foundation in a sector that is both culturally relevant and commercially promising. My focus will be on strengthening the financial structure, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building investor confidence as we move closer to an IPO. I look forward to working closely with the leadership team to create long-term value for stakeholders.”
Astrotalk’s founder and CEO, [Founder’s Name, if available], welcomed Deepak Khetan’s appointment, stating:
“Deepak’s extensive experience and proven track record in financial management make him an invaluable addition to our team. As Astrotalk prepares for the next big milestone of going public, having a strong financial leader is critical. We are confident that his guidance will play a pivotal role in driving sustainable growth and ensuring a seamless IPO journey.”
IPO Preparations in Motion
Astrotalk’s decision to bring in a CFO aligns with its two-year plan to go public, a move expected to further cement its position as a market leader in the online astrology and spiritual wellness segment. The IPO will not only provide the company with access to fresh capital for expansion but will also enhance its visibility, credibility, and trust among a broader set of stakeholders.
Industry analysts view this move as a signal of Astrotalk’s serious intent to scale and professionalize its operations ahead of entering public markets. With investor appetite for new-age tech-enabled platforms on the rise, Astrotalk’s strong consumer base, profitable business model, and unique niche give it a competitive edge.
With the addition of Deepak Khetan as CFO, Astrotalk is better equipped to balance financial discipline with growth ambitions. The leadership team is expected to sharpen its focus on product innovation, market expansion, and user engagement while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
The next two years will be critical as the company builds towards its IPO. During this period, Astrotalk is also expected to scale up international operations, explore strategic partnerships, and strengthen its digital offerings to meet evolving consumer demands.
