Aja AstroTech’s new app, Dosha Nivarana (DNA) was launched in Hyderabad. The app was unveiled in the presence of Badiga Srikanth, Group Director of Phonix; retired district judge Hemanth Kumar Dintyala; and former T-Hub CEO Srinivas Rao Mahankali.
The start-up has staked its future on a Sanskrit text composed roughly five millennia ago. It is billed as India’s first app built entirely on the foundational principles of the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra — the revered Vedic astrology canon attributed to Sage Parashara Muni.
The distinction matters to the founders. Unlike the wave of astrology platforms that layer machine-learning prediction over horoscope data, the DNA app’s engine is, at its core, a faithful software translation of classical Jyotisha logic — every calculation tracing back to the original Parasara text, not a neural network.
“This is not a horoscope app. This is a karma engine,” Phaniraj Jaligama added.
CEO of the app, Phaniraj Jaligama walked attendees through the engine’s core premise: “The celestial alignment at the exact moment of a person’s birth creates a ‘cosmic blueprint’ — and that Parashara’s principles, when encoded correctly, can read that blueprint with a rigour no general-purpose AI is designed to replicate.”
He further added that Dosha Nivarana, does not predict your future with AI — “it decodes the ancient Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, arguably the oldest systematic treatise on human destiny, and puts it on the iOS and Google Play Store.”
The founder called the app a “A Jyotishi in Your Pocket — for Every Indian with a Smartphone.”
The engine automatically detects 50 classical Doshas across five categories, matches them to a library of 75-plus Parasara-rooted remedies, and generates personalised reports spanning everything from a child’s Janma Patrika to a Rahu-Ketu axis analysis.
A dedicated Muhurtha suite covers 19 life events — calculating auspicious timing with the precision the tradition demands.
A Family Management module allows a single account to hold charts for multiple family members, a feature aimed squarely at India’s joint-family culture. The app launches in Telugu and English, with 11 additional Indian languages planned for June.
