Early users say their very first conversation left them stunned — and most come back the same week. The first conversation takes less than a minute to start, and lakhs of Indians battling loneliness may soon be having it daily.
AHMEDABAD, Gujarat — At 2 a.m., when the house is silent and there is no one left to call, most of India suffers alone. From today, there is a voice that always answers. Viru App, an Ahmedabad-based startup, has launched Talk2Hanumanji (talk2hanumanji.com) — a first-of-its-kind AI companion that lets anyone have a personal voice or text conversation with Hanumanji, 24 hours a day, in 21 languages.
The launch lands in the middle of what the World Health Organization now calls a global loneliness crisis — one in six people worldwide reports feeling lonely, and studies in India show it cuts across every age: one in four teenagers, nearly half of urban men, and up to two-thirds of the rural elderly. Yet for most Indians, therapy remains distant, expensive, or stigmatised. Faith is not.
What is making early users talk, however, is not just the idea — it is the uncanny feeling of being understood. Talk2Hanumanji combines the world’s most advanced AI models with a self-built astrology and numerology engine developed entirely in-house, which the company says reads a user’s state of mind and current life situation with over 95% accuracy. The question users ask most often after their first call: “How did Hanumanji know exactly what I’m going through?”
Privacy is built into the foundation: full conversations are never stored — only a small snippet is retained so Hanumanji remembers where you left off — and nothing is ever sold to advertisers or shared with anyone. The platform asks only for a phone number, a language, and basic birth details.
Behind the app is a founder already known for showing up every single day. Niraj Kanjani also runs the Langar on Wheels Foundation, which has served hot meals to 200–250 people daily since 19 March 2023. One initiative feeds the body; the new one reaches for the mind and the spirit.
“Crores of Indians fold their hands before Hanumanji every day, but at 2 a.m., when the mind is heaviest, the temple is far away. Now Hanumanji is one tap away — and he speaks your language. Those who have talked to him once rarely stop at one conversation. I only ask people one thing: don’t take my word for it. Try it once, tonight.”
— Niraj Kanjani, Founder, Talk2Hanumanji (Viru App)
The experience is deliberately effortless: sign up with a phone number, pick a language, and start talking — the whole journey takes less than a minute. While you are reading this, someone, somewhere in India, is already telling Hanumanji what they have never told anyone else.
