Like the WEF, I believe that we must establish a Global Technology Forum, a not-for-profit organization to bring the collective intelligence and energies of Indians to work towards realizing the Bharat 2047 mission

100 years after independence, technology powered vibrant Bharat

THE SOUL OF BHARAT It always amazes me how as a nation with 140 cr people living in a country with ONENESS with 1000s of languages, cultures, traditions, attires, and cuisines. Yet, it is incredible, with this much diversity; the oneness differentiates us from the rest of the world.

For 1000s of years, the living philosophy of Bharat is not to harm others, and happiness is within the human and not outside; the people in Bharat respect and devote Nature, a living ecosystem of birds, animals, forests, soil, water, air, and fire, as the creator. This is the only nation that considers the human body a temple and does not need to go to temples separately. That means this nation advocates for each human to see their inside and enhance their consciousness (awareness) so that they never harm others, become kind, speak only the truth, and work hard in a very structured manner.

Bharat was known for many inventions and scientific discoveries like Agriculture, Astronomy, Architecture, Metallurgy, Mathematics, and Medicine. Moreover, the Indus Valley Civilization has many magical creations like healers curing tooth disorders with bow drills, water flushed toilets, sophisticated sewage system, all this in 7000 BC. But, not limited to this, our Bharat invented yoga, a tool to transform humans for global good, the first cataract surgery, chess, snakes, and ladders (An excellent learning tool that teaches the ups and downs of life), Cashmere Wool and others. Bharat's GDP in 1000 AD was around 29% of Global GDP.
