About us
Bringing trusted Vedic astrology to your phone
Maharshi Astro is a live astrology consultation service owned and operated by Way2news Pvt Ltd, based in Hyderabad, Telangana.
Our story
For generations, families across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have turned to a trusted jyotishya pandit before a wedding, a new job, a house-warming or a difficult decision. Finding such a person has become harder — many of us now live far from our hometowns, work long hours, and are unsure whom to trust.
Maharshi Astro was started to solve exactly this. Our app connects you with experienced Vedic astrologers for a private, one-to-one chat, from wherever you are. You choose the astrologer, you decide how long to talk, and you pay only for the minutes you use.
Our mission
To make honest, traditional astrological guidance accessible and affordable for every family — delivered with respect for your privacy, clear pricing, and no fear-based selling.
What we believe in
- Honesty over fear. Our astrologers are instructed never to frighten users into buying remedies, gemstones or pujas. Remedies suggested on our platform are traditional and optional.
- Privacy by default. Your birth details and conversations are personal. We use them only to provide the service and never sell them.
- Transparent pricing. One clear per-minute rate, a visible timer and balance during every chat, and a chat that stops automatically when your balance runs out.
- Guidance, not guarantees. Astrology is a traditional system of guidance. It is not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice, and we say so clearly (see our Disclaimer).
How we select astrologers
Every astrologer on Maharshi Astro goes through a screening process before they can accept consultations:
- Identity verification with a government-issued ID and bank account details.
- A review of their training, lineage or qualifications and years of practice.
- A test consultation with our team to assess knowledge, communication and conduct.
- Agreement to our code of conduct, which prohibits fear-mongering, requests for personal contact details, and pressure to buy products.
After joining, astrologers are reviewed regularly based on user ratings and complaints. Astrologers who break the code of conduct are removed from the platform.
How our service works
Maharshi Astro is a digital service. All consultations take place through live chat inside our Android and iOS apps. This website provides information about our business, pricing and policies; it does not offer chat, login or consultations.
