History

GaneshaSpeaks.com was launched in 2003 by Hemang Arunbhai Pandit with the stated goal of organizing India’s astrology market into a structured digital business. The site is a product of Wellness Technologies Pvt Ltd and claims over 2 million monthly visitors, branding itself as India’s top astrology site and the world’s third-largest in its category. It has deep ties to the late astrologer Bejan Daruwalla, who acted as brand ambassador until his death in 2020 and publicly named GaneshaSpeaks.com as his official astrological successor.

Funded by / Ownership

The site is operated by a private company, Wellness Technologies Pvt Ltd. It monetizes through direct-to-consumer sales of horoscopes, live astrology calls, astrology-based financial consultations, spiritual products, mobile apps, books, and a video astrology platform called Astroflix. There are display ads with most revenue coming from pseudoscientific services and product sales.

Analysis / Bias

GaneshaSpeaks.com is not a news or information website in any journalistic sense. It promotes astrology, a practice entirely unsupported by scientific evidence, as a solution for everything from personal life decisions to stock market investments. The site’s content makes sweeping claims about predictive power based on planetary alignment, a method that has been wholly discredited by modern science. For example, the Fortune Mantra service claims to help users increase financial profits based on “planetary trends” rather than data-driven financial analysis. Similarly, their video service, Astroflix, presents horoscope content with no grounding in verifiable facts.

While the platform avoids overt political content and does not appear to promote misinformation in the realm of politics, the core function of the site is the propagation of pseudoscience. Its team is described as being personally trained by Bejan Daruwalla, and their predictions are presented as reliable guidance, which may mislead vulnerable or uninformed users. Despite its slick branding and digital infrastructure, the site’s reliance on astrology for everything from relationships to finance makes it fundamentally unreliable as an informational source.



Failed Fact Checks

  • There are no third-party fact-checks, but the entire premise of the site is based on astrology, a pseudoscience debunked by centuries of empirical testing. No claims on the site are testable or falsifiable.
