The estimated market size of the religious industry is estimated of 2.5 lakh crores. 95% of the Industry is unorganised and is ready for disruption by the use of digital channel because of increase in disposable income, ease of ordering and efficient delivery.Outsourcing in this sector will ensure quality and time efficiency in saving the existence of rituals and culture. Religion is pulse of India and there's huge market potential waiting to move from unorganised to organised industry.This story is provided by Hunk Golden and Media.will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
