Agartala, 11th January 2025 – The dream of two young entrepreneurs, Dr.Sougat Dasgupta and Er.Biprarshi Debnath, has finally come to fruition in the form of their groundbreaking venture, Wandering Pilgrims. A company that brings India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage closer to the world, Wandering Pilgrims was officially launched today, marking a monumental step in the vision they’ve nurtured for years.
Both hailing from Agartala, Tripura, Sougat and Biprarshi have turned their shared dream into reality with this pioneering initiative. Their goal: to create a seamless and spiritually enriching experience for pilgrims traveling to sacred sites across India. With this venture, they seek to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, ensuring that people from around the world can embark on meaningful spiritual journeys.
The Visionaries Behind Wandering Pilgrims
At the heart of Wandering Pilgrims is Dr.Sougat Dasgupta, the youngest celebrity astrologer in India, known for his remarkable contributions to the fields of astrology and Vastu. He is the founder of Astroanswer, a leading astrological consultancy that has garnered over 12,000 clients worldwide, offering solutions for life, wealth, prosperity, and harmony. Sougat has established himself as a well-respected name in the industry, winning accolades like the Best Astrologer & Vastu Consultant in India Award from the Ed Innova Awards in Delhi, and being listed among the Top 50 Entrepreneurs of India in 2024 by E50.
However, despite his success in astrology, Sougat’s heart has always been deeply connected to spirituality, and with Wandering Pilgrims, he has found the perfect avenue to share this passion with the world. “The idea behind Wandering Pilgrims has always been clear: to offer a path that makes the journey to sacred destinations smooth, accessible, and spiritually enriching for people across the globe,” says Sougat.
His trusted partner in this venture, Er.Biprarshi Debnath, is equally visionary. A highly skilled data scientist with a degree from the National Institute of Technology, Agartala, Biprarshi has made significant strides in the tech world, working with AI-based solutions in a top-tier IT firm. Despite his demanding career, Biprarshi is also a passionate musician and the lead member of BandishGeetika, a local band that has performed across various venues. His blend of technical acumen and creative spirit plays a pivotal role in the development of innovative solutions for Wandering Pilgrims.
A Step Toward Realizing the Dream: MOU Signed with Dr. Teesta Saha
In a defining moment for the company, Wandering Pilgrims today signed an MOU with Dr. Teesta Saha, the renowned public figure, who will be the company’s first-ever brand ambassador. The signing took place at the Astroanswer office, where both Sougat and Biprarshi were present to finalize the agreement, marking a milestone that will help propel the brand to greater heights.
The one-year partnership with Dr. Saha is expected to significantly elevate the profile of Wandering Pilgrims. As a brand ambassador, Dr. Saha will play a pivotal role in promoting the company’s mission to provide pilgrims with tailored travel packages to India’s most sacred destinations, along with exclusive pujas and spiritual services.
Dr. Saha’s presence will not only strengthen the brand’s outreach but also bring greater visibility to the founders’ vision of making pilgrimage travel more accessible and personalized.
A Holistic Experience for Pilgrims
With Wandering Pilgrims, Sougat and Biprarshi aim to offer a holistic travel experience for devotees. The company specializes in crafting personalized pilgrimages to various Tirtha Sthans across India, offering not just travel and darshan but also a complete spiritual experience. This includes the facilitation of various pujas at Hindu mythological sites, ensuring that each pilgrimage is an all-encompassing spiritual journey, deeply rooted in tradition.
“Pilgrimage is more than just a journey. It’s an experience that touches the soul,” says Sougat, reflecting on the essence of Wandering Pilgrims. “Our mission is to make every pilgrim’s journey as meaningful and divine as possible.”
Looking Ahead
With the official launch of Wandering Pilgrims, the company is poised for great success. Guided by the visionary leadership of Dr.Sougat Dasgupta and Er.Biprarshi Debnath, and with the influential partnership of Dr. Teesta Saha, Wandering Pilgrims is on track to become a leading name in India’s religious tourism sector.
As the company embarks on its exciting journey, it brings with it a promise: to offer pilgrims not just a trip, but a transformation — one that blends the sacred with the serene, the ancient with the modern.
