A couple of days back, I shared few numbers on AstroTalk. Numbers were amazing but I somewhere tried to connect it with the number of educated people in India. Why I did so? Because I saw an ample amount of advertisement from them reflecting a conversation on how Astrologers were helping find the EXACT DATE when their Ex-boyfriends or girlfriends are coming back again in their life. And there were more such future predictions. So first things first. No astrologer can predict the exact date or time of any event happening in the future. They might help you give some probability of events or certain range of dates. Coming to Astro Talk, this way of luring Indian audience targeting their traumas of past relationships in my opinion is not an ethical way of marketing. It's simply luring or trapping. And that is what I was trying to portray through those numbers. But having a couple of comments and personal DMs from people on above made me feel like giving a clarity that it wasn't against the astrology or the people who believe in one. I was trying to highlight how a business is 100Cr profitable out of targeting people's emotions and selling just a HOPE Personally, I do not believe in astrologers and never explored astrology till date. However, 20 years back some astrologer told my family that I'll be writer by profession to which we all laughed because of my inclination towards maths since childhood. Ironically or maybe by destiny, I found my interest in writing lately only to write a linkedin post expressing my views on astrology. Haha!

Their marketing team is genius, why I am saying so because they are selling the business of fear in the name of Hope & ppl are not realizing it & they are doing damage both in the short & long term. In the short term by falsely claim anything in their marketing campaign thus having the money from ppl & in the long term damaging the image of this science.
