Matrimony.com to Acquire Majority Stake in Astro-Vision as Q2 Profit Rises

Online matchmaking platform Matrimony.com announced on Tuesday that its board has approved the acquisition of an additional 50 per cent stake in astrology firm Astro-Vision Futuretech Private Ltd (Astro-Vision) for a consideration of around ₹8 crore.

With this new transaction, Matrimony.com will increase its total shareholding in Astro-Vision to 76.09 per cent, building upon its existing 26.09 per cent stake. The acquisition is scheduled to close within three months.

Astro-Vision specializes in Vedic-based astrology solutions, providing content and software in over 10 Indian languages. The firm has generated more than 110 million horoscopes to date and reported a revenue of ₹20.57 crore in FY26. According to company statements, the Astro-Vision portal attracts around 40,000 daily visitors, generates over 25,000 reports per day, and records more than 10,000 mobile application downloads daily across its apps built for consumers and astrologers.

Commenting on the strategic move, Chennai-based Matrimony.com stated that astrology is a core component of its matchmaking business, with the majority of its customers utilizing Astro-Vision's software for horoscope predictions. The company aims to leverage this investment to enhance customer value-add and accelerate Astro-Vision's growth.

In a separate financial update released on Tuesday, Matrimony.com reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 2026 (Q2 FY27). The company posted a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹21 crore, marking nearly a threefold increase compared to the ₹7.8 crore recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Revenue from operations for the quarter grew 18.4 per cent year-on-year to reach ₹135 crore, compared to ₹115 crore in the same period last year. Total billings saw a 10.7 per cent year-on-year increase to ₹131 crore. On a sequential basis, PAT and revenue registered growth of 8.6 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively.

Murugavel Janakiraman, Chairman and Managing Director of Matrimony.com, noted the continued growth momentum during the second quarter, highlighting the increase in profits and high-teen revenue growth. Matchmaking services continue to drive the vast majority of the company's topline, accounting for over 99 per cent of revenue, while marriage services and other streams contribute less than 1 per cent.

"Matrimony.com's decision to take a majority stake in Astro-Vision is a practical example of vertical integration in the digital matchmaking sector. Since horoscope matching remains central to the matchmaking process in India, owning the underlying technology and content provider helps secure the supply chain and enhances core product offerings. Coupled with a strong financial performance in Q2, this strategic move reflects a focused approach toward driving operational synergies and long-term ecosystem value." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
