Uttar Pradesh-based Vakya Labs LLP is applying the same automation playbook to student internships and online astrology consultations, two markets it says share the same underlying problem: fragmentation.

A DPIIT-recognized startup out of Uttar Pradesh is testing an unconventional bet: that the technology needed to fix India's internship pipeline is largely the same technology needed to modernize online astrology consultations.

Vakya Labs LLP, a women-led, multi-vertical technology company, has built a shared cloud infrastructure that powers two seemingly unrelated digital platforms, one focused on career skilling and employment, the other on spiritual wellness under a single lean operating model.

An Automation Layer for India's Apprenticeship Pipeline

The company's EdTech and Career Accelerator portal is designed to connect students at tier-2 and tier-3 higher education institutions with verified internship opportunities. According to the company, the platform automates upskilling through targeted bootcamps and handles the compliance, onboarding, and stipend-tracking work that small and mid-sized employers must complete under the government's National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS).

For MSMEs, that process has historically involved manual paperwork and inconsistent tracking. Vakya Labs positions its platform as a way to digitize that workflow while functioning as a hiring funnel for both business and individual users.

Bringing Structure to the Online Astrology Market

The company's second platform, an AstroTech and spiritual wellness marketplace, takes a similar approach to a very different market. The portal uses a cloud-based calculations engine to generate Vedic astrology charts from a user's birth details, then connects users to a network of vetted spiritual guides through real-time, encrypted communication tools and CRM systems.

The online astrology and spiritual services space has grown rapidly worldwide but has largely remained informal, with limited standardization or verification of practitioners. Vakya Labs argues that applying the same infrastructure used in its EdTech vertical automation, API-driven communication, and centralized data can bring more consistency to that market as well.

Shared Infrastructure, Not Shared Industries

What connects the two platforms isn't the subject matter but the backend: both run on common cloud architecture, including unified payment gateways, micro-transaction processing, and automated workflows such as WhatsApp Business integrations. That shared foundation, the company says, is what allows a small team based in Uttar Pradesh to serve corporate clients across India alongside individual consumers globally, without the overhead of physical offices or service centers.

"Whether it's a student in a tier-2 town trying to land a verified internship, or a user halfway across the world looking for an authentic Vedic consultation, the problem is the same: these industries are fragmented and hard to trust," said Devendra Singh Khati, Co-Founder of Vakya Labs LLP. "

Our platforms bring the same cloud architecture, automation, and verification layer to both, which is what lets a lean team based out of Uttar Pradesh operate at a genuinely global scale."

A Diversified Bet on Infrastructure Over Headcount

By building software rather than scaling through physical locations or large service teams, Vakya Labs is positioning itself differently from traditional players in either sector. Whether that dual-vertical model proves durable will likely depend on execution in two markets with very different regulatory environments, user expectations, and growth dynamics — but the company's core wager is that fragmentation, not subject matter, is the problem worth solving at scale.
