Dr.D.K.Hari and Dr.D.K.Hema Hari, husband-wife duo are founders of Bharath Gyan (www.bharathgyan.com) a forerunner in Indian Civilization Knowledge Studies, conceptualized over 25 years ago with a mission to raise awareness about the knowledge, practices and global connects of the Indian Civilization over millennia, from an Indic Perspective.

The couple have travelled the globe extensively and explored other cultures. They boldly left their 20 year high profile Senior Management careers in Marketing and IT to compile, collate and showcase the knowledge of the Indian Civilization as an Indic narrative - Bharath Gyan.

Bharath Gyan’s Indic narrative showcases the Scientific and Industrial aspects of the Bharatiya civilization besides highlighting its Spiritual aspects and shows how it is the ethos of their twinning which had sustained flourish for this civilization across millennia.

It highlights the contributions made by the Indian civilization to the world across millennia, in the realm of Matter and Mind and how they have been Game Changers for shaping the world to what it is today.

They have so far collated over 500 hours of multimedia content on the Indian Civilization and its global connects across over 108 different subjects and have published 100+ books as part of Autobiography of India collection besides 5 Documentary films, 1000+ short films and 1000+ articles.

They have been disseminating this knowledge to the youth and students through their bouquet of offerings in simple language, with colourful illustrations to suit audience taste and time have been popularizing Knowledge of the Indian Civilization:

• Printed Books - to read in few hours Online Flip books and Documentary films- to view in an hour
