Deepanshu Giri heavily markets himself as having a 7-generation lineage descending from Maharishi Bhrigu. However, digital footprints and his own past admissions on platforms like Quora reveal he was a freelance ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) technician in underwater robotics until around 2017-2018.
Despite the "lineage" claims, Giri has admitted to being self-taught and treating astrology as a hobby before monetizing it. He also stated his father was an IIT engineer who stopped believing in astrology after being "fooled" by practitioners. The 7-generation claim appears to be a fabricated marketing persona designed to build instant, unearned credibility.
By inventing a spiritual lineage, Lunar Astro bypasses the need for verifiable academic credentials. This allows them to charge premium rates (Rs. 10,000+ for consultations and Rs. 2 Lakhs for courses) based purely on a manufactured backstory rather than proven astrological mastery.
