3iology Technologies, a temple management software company backed by India Accelerator, has started inviting applications for the free digitisation of 10,800 Hindu temples within 100 days. The initiative is sponsored by several corporates and religious bodies to onboard qualifying temples all over India to 3iology’s software 3ioNetra at no cost for the first year.
Philanthropy is rooted in India’s culture and the majority of devotees make donations from Rs 10 to big-ticket offerings. Though technology has taken over the lead in almost every sector, temples still lag behind in systematic developments, finance and asset management, said India Accelerator.
Hence, IA-backed 3iology Technologies has undertaken the initiative to revolutionise the management of temples across the country to simplify the lives of devotees as well as trustees, the company added.
“Inflow of donations in religious places has only increased for the upliftment of temple, its surroundings and feeding the underprivileged. Even when the donations are made in good faith, transparency and efficiency in management remain a major concern. 3iology Technologies’ initiative to revolutionise temple management scenario will help temples in their seva and donations bookings, generating receipts and getting reports easily,” said Deepak Nagpal, managing partner at India Accelerator.
“3ioNetra, a portfolio start-up of India Accelerator, is an integration of modern excellence and traditional insights which help transform today’s religious needs of institutions, trusts and individuals. They develop products that are one-stop solutions that give power to governance, create shared accountability and enable strong lifetime connections with devotees. Traditionalists have been reluctant to adopt and invest in technology to manage Temple operations due to the high cost of deployment and hence 3ioNetra is offering a free Subscription –based Temple ERP and Website with absolutely no cost to the Temple," he added.
“We are thrilled to have embarked on this journey of digitising 10,800 temples in such a short period of time. Our goal is to help temples across the country operate more efficiently and provide devotees with a modern and highly secure, technology-driven experience,” said Sharad Kamath, founder of 3iology Technologies.
Founded in 2020, 3ioNetra - subscription-based Temple Management and Resource Planning (TMRP) Software has made it easier for temple management trustees to streamline their operations and engage with devotees more effectively. The comprehensive software suite includes features such as Seva, Donation management, Accounting with Tally integration, Devotee Management through Devotee App, Hall Bookings, Room Bookings, Online Bookings for Temple visits, Inventory / Asset Management, Land/Rent Management, Jewellery Management and more.
The digitisation of the Hindu temples will enable devotees to connect with their spiritual roots in a more meaningful way as temple management committees will now be able to provide devotees with a seamless experience, making temple visits more convenient and enjoyable.
