In recognition of leaders across the world who have demonstrated excellence and driven positive societal impact, Jagriti Motwani, Founder and Promoter of Bhagva, was honored with the title ‘Innovator of the Year- Spiritual Tech’ at the ET Indo Global Leaders 2025, hosted at Dubai’s iconic Al Habtoor Palace. The flagship initiative by The Economic Times brought together global leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to celebrate collaboration, innovation, and visionary leadership.
The event celebrated cross-border collaboration, innovation, and leadership excellence from various countries. Amongst power-packed sessions featuring dignitaries like H.E. Ismail Al Naqi (Director General, Ajman Free Zone Authority), Manu Nair (CEO, EthrealX), and global entrepreneurs. The evening concluded with a grand felicitation ceremony where Jagriti’s recognition was also cheered as a milestone in the evolution of spiritual technology.
Founded in 2022, Bhagva is not just a spiritual app; it is a reimagined ecosystem for Indian devotion in the digital age. It offers seamless access to online and offline Pooja bookings, daily panchangs, astrology, jaaps, and immersive virtual temple experiences, all designed with a user-first philosophy rooted in reverence.
What makes Bhagva truly distinctive is its quiet revolution in economic empowerment. The platform works closely with Pandits and Purohits, ensuring their welfare, training, and dignity of work. At the same time, it enables women and artisans from underrepresented communities to craft sacred products like solar diyas, incense sticks, and handmade puja items, weaving devotion with sustainability and livelihood creation.
“Technology has simplified almost every part of our lives, so why not spirituality? With Bhagva, we wanted to make devotion as accessible as everything else tech has touched. I’m grateful to The Economic Times for recognizing the potential of this unique blend of spirituality and technology and to everyone who has walked with us on the journey of making spirituality accessible, dignified, and empowering through Bhagva.”, said Jagriti Motwani, Founder and Promoter of Bhagva.
The ET Indo Global Leaders platform is known for spotlighting visionaries who shape the future of business, society, and governance. This year’s edition featured dialogues on Indo-global innovation exchanges, the India–UAE partnership as strategic growth hubs, and women-led leadership across borders. Motwani’s award reinforces the growing acknowledgment of spiritual-tech as a legitimate frontier for innovation and social impact.
