In a marketplace where spiritual products are increasingly commodified, Nepa Rudraksha has taken an approach rooted in tradition, transparency, and individual commitment. The recent announcement of actor Ajay Devgn joining the brand as its global ambassador marks a strategic move aimed at reinforcing the brand’s purpose and identity.
With over fifty years of heritage and a growing international presence, Nepa Rudraksha is gradually building a reputation as an Indian spiritual brand that combines Vedic traditions with a focus on credibility. Its approach continues to prioritize core principles rather than public visibility.
A Legacy of Purpose
Nepa Rudraksha was founded in 1973 by Balaram Khatiwada, a priest at Pashupatinath temple in Nepal, with a vision to share the sacred knowledge and practice of Rudraksha wearing. That foundation was later carried forward by his son Mukunda Khatiwada, who guided the brand through the digital transition, opening up its reach while preserving its traditional ethos.
Today, the company is led by Sukritya Khatiwada, a 26 year old third generation Vedic scholar. As the author of Transform Your Life with Rudraksha, Sukritya has taken on the role of both cultural steward and modern entrepreneur. His leadership combines scriptural understanding with effective execution, guiding Nepa Rudraksha’s presence in the evolving wellness industry. Khatiwada, has also featured on TRS (The Ranveer Show) and other podcasts, represents a new wave of spiritual entrepreneurs balancing tradition and innovation.
The appointment of Ajay Devgn is being seen less as a branding tactic and more as a natural fit. Devgn, known for his calm and focused on screen persona, is also a Shiva devotee in real life. His involvement with the brand is personal, not transactional.
In a recently launched brand film, Devgn appears wearing the Siddha Mala and Rudra bracelet, presented in the role of a seeker rather than a celebrity. The campaign, developed under the direction of Sukritya, avoids commercial tropes and instead offers a meditative cinematic experience. The music is tuned to the Om frequency, the visuals inspired by classical Indian motifs, and the tone is reflective rather than promotional.
Backing Faith with Science:
What makes Nepa Rudraksha relevant in the global wellness space is its approach to authenticity grounded in systematic verification. Each bead is:
> Sourced from Nepal’s sacred Arun Valley
> Certified by third-party IRL X-ray labs, a first in the industry
> Evaluated under ISO 9001:2005 quality standards
> Backed by Nepa’s exclusive AAA Standard™, offering a lifetime authenticity guarantee
This combination of spiritual intention with verifiable transparency has contributed to the brand's recognition among both traditional practitioners and modern wellness consumers.
A Business Model with Depth
From a financial perspective, Nepa Rudraksha engages in spiritual commerce with a focus on responsibility. With over ten thousand customers across more than 100+ countries, the brand has grown through direct to consumer ecommerce. It is powered by a Shopify platform that supports global logistics and localised support.
In addition, the company has invested in educational outreach through digital content, book publishing, and a members only app that offers guided spiritual practices.
The brand’s positioning reflects a balance — providing a product line that has spiritual weight while building a company that meets international standards of customer trust, operational transparency, and leadership accountability.
The Path Forward
Ajay Devgn contributes to sharing the message, while Sukritya Khatiwada helps shape the roadmap, Nepa Rudraksha is poised for the next phase of growth. But if there is one lesson the brand insists on carrying forward, it is this: real scale does not mean dilution of values.
In an industry that often blends spirituality with packaging, Nepa Rudraksha is working to build an enterprise where faith , culture, and credibility can work together. Quietly, and sustainably.
