Our Team
Om Chaudhari
Om comes from a family background in novelty and religious product retail. As a spiritual seeker himself, he has faced the problems of the industry first-hand and chose to dedicate his future years to transforming it from the root with sheer determination. He personally studies the history of the temples Shastra Life partners with, designs products and services aligned with tradition, and continues to learn relentlessly while shaping the company’s direction.
Ashitosh Wagh
Ashitosh, whom Om calls a creative genius, has a knack for spotting “the next big thing.” While pursuing his management education, he joined forces with Om, setting aside creative differences to build Shastra Life together. Ashitosh has since been instrumental in shaping business strategy and management, pushing the startup to the next level with his ideas and execution.
Nitish Songara
Nitish, an IT engineer based in Madhya Pradesh, joined through Y Combinator’s co-founder matching platform, though Om likes to say Nitish found Shastra Life through God's will. With his technical expertise in building e-commerce and service platforms, Nitish became the missing piece in the team. His humility, work ethic, and unconditional commitment to the mission quickly made him invaluable, even before meeting the team in person.
Extended Contributors
Shastra Life’s journey is also powered by the support of dedicated contributors such as Hanumant Chaudhari, Rohit Shelke, Aryan Khilari, and a broader community that continues to lend time, skills, and energy to the mission.
