Matrimony.com Limited to own 76.09% of Astro-Vision for Rs 8 crore

Matrimony.com approved a Rs 8 crore cash purchase of an additional 50% in Astro-Vision on November 10, 2026, lifting its ownership from 26.09% to 76.09% and making the astrology-software provider a subsidiary. The company said the acquisition is expected to be completed within three months.

What is Matrimony.com buying in Astro-Vision?

Matrimony.com is buying a further 50% stake in Astro-Vision Futuretech Private Limited for Rs 8 crore in an all-cash transaction. The purchase adds to Matrimony.com’s existing 26.09% holding, producing a 76.09% stake after completion and changing Astro-Vision’s status from an associate to a subsidiary.

The board approved the transaction at its November 10, 2026 meeting, alongside the unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. Matrimony.com disclosed that no governmental or regulatory approvals are required, that the deal is not a related-party transaction, and that its promoters and promoter group have no interest in Astro-Vision.

The announced consideration values the additional 50% ownership at Rs 8 crore. The filing does not disclose the number of shares being transferred, a valuation methodology, or terms beyond the cash consideration, the resulting 76.09% shareholding and the three-month indicative completion period.

Why is Matrimony.com acquiring a controlling stake in Astro-Vision?

Matrimony.com said the acquisition is intended to deepen the role of astrology in its matchmaking offering because a majority of its customers generate horoscope predictions using Astro-Vision software. Management said the strategic investment could enhance customer value-add and accelerate Astro-Vision’s growth.

Astro-Vision operates in consumer internet and supplies Vedic astrology content and software in more than 10 Indian languages. Its Clickastro portal provides algorithm-based, personalised and multilingual astrology content, a capability that Matrimony.com identified as relevant to its matchmaking business rather than as an unrelated expansion.

Astro-Vision has described itself as a pioneer in Vedic-based astrology solutions since 1984, while its stated incorporation date is April 10, 2001. Matrimony.com’s disclosure does not specify how Astro-Vision’s technology, portal or mobile applications will be integrated after the transaction closes, but it expressly cites horoscope generation by customers as the operating link.

How has Astro-Vision's revenue changed over three years?

Astro-Vision reported FY26 revenue of Rs 20.57 crore, up Rs 55 lakh from Rs 20.02 crore in FY25 but below the Rs 21.65 crore reported in FY24. Revenue declined by Rs 1.63 crore between FY24 and FY25 before recovering partly in FY26.

FY26 revenue remained Rs 1.08 crore below the FY24 level, based on the three-year turnover history disclosed for Astro-Vision. The filing gives no profit, cash-flow, customer-revenue or margin figures for Astro-Vision, making the reported Rs 20.57 crore turnover the main financial measure available for the target’s recent scale.

The three-year series shows that the FY26 increase followed a lower FY25 base rather than exceeding the FY24 result. Astro-Vision reported revenue above Rs 20 crore in two of the three disclosed financial years, although the filing provides no stated FY27 revenue target.

How large is Astro-Vision's customer-facing platform?

Astro-Vision says it has generated more than 110 million horoscopes to date, while Clickastro receives around 40,000 daily visitors and creates more than 25,000 reports a day. These measures describe the target’s audience activity and content output rather than paid users or revenue per visitor.

The company has also developed mobile astrology applications for consumers and astrologers, recording more than 10,000 mobile-app downloads per day. Astro-Vision has a physical presence only in India, despite offering content and software in more than 10 Indian languages, according to the acquisition disclosure.

The activity figures show several delivery channels: website content through Clickastro, personalised reports, horoscope generation and mobile applications. Matrimony.com did not disclose the number of its own customers who use Astro-Vision software, the proportion of Clickastro users who are paid users, or whether the more than 110 million horoscopes were generated through its own platform, third parties or both.

When is the Astro-Vision acquisition expected to close?

Matrimony.com expects the acquisition to be completed within three months of its November 10, 2026 approval. The filing lists nil regulatory approvals, so the disclosed timetable is not conditional on a named governmental or regulatory clearance.

Until the 50% purchase is completed, Astro-Vision remains described as an associate in the group structure accompanying the September 30, 2026 consolidated results. After completion, Matrimony.com’s 76.09% stake will make Astro-Vision a subsidiary, while other shareholders will hold the remaining 23.91%.

Conclusion

The Rs 8 crore transaction gives Matrimony.com control of a business with FY26 revenue of Rs 20.57 crore and consumer-facing astrology tools that generated more than 25,000 reports per day. The purchase is strategically tied to matchmaking because Matrimony.com says a majority of its customers use Astro-Vision software for horoscope predictions.

The next disclosed milestone is completion within three months of November 10, 2026. The company’s future disclosures may confirm closing, Astro-Vision’s reclassification from associate to subsidiary, and whether Matrimony.com sets out product integration, revenue or customer-service plans for its 76.09% holding.
