San Francisco Bay Area
We have entered the Age of Intelligence, but it feels like we checked the Opt-Out button. We are working faster and feeling worse, and nobody teaches us how to handle ourselves through this rising onslop.
In times like these, it is said that the wise must serve, for the welfare of the world. (BG 3:25, kuryad vidvans tathasaktash chikirshur loka-sangraham)
Gaurav Rastogi lives in worlds that didn’t use to intersect: technology, business, and service. From these experiences, he builds tools to work on the self. He has run companies, builds technologies, and is active in service to the community.
Business. Senior leadership at Infosys (NASDAQ: INFY), Nagarro (FRA: NA9), and Quest Global. Founder of Doloop Digital and Ekrasworks.
Technology. Business automation, AI, and learning.
Service (loka samgraha, welfare of the world). Teaching dhyana meditation and the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita. The Hindu Spiritual Care Institute as Co-Founder, Board Member, and Dean. The Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley as Trustee. IIM Ahmedabad and Ashoka as Visiting Faculty. Oxford University Press and Penguin as co-author. E-RYT 500 yoga teacher.
Social, Spiritual, Sales, and Software. The same streams run as literacies in the 4S Framework, the answer to what functional literacy means once machines read, write, and calculate better than any of us.
doloop.io is a deterministic check on what an AI writes. Instead of asking a model to review its own output, it runs reproducible tests against code, extracted documents, prose voice, and conversations, and routes what fails back for revision. The answer engine on this site is the same one: it declines to guess rather than filling a gap with something plausible.
Spiritual technique, habit-building, and workplace technology for professionals, delivered through courses, retreats, and enterprise programs.
The Graduate Theological Union is a consortium of seminaries, schools of theology, and religious centers that grants graduate degrees in the study of religion and theology.
Founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2018, HSCI is a training and community-service institution for the global Hindu diaspora. A Sangha of over 300 volunteers across management, faculty, and operations; programs reach the US, India, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and South Africa.
Doloop Digital runs retained learning transformations for services businesses, so institutional intelligence compounds in margins instead of being lost to headcount.
Quest Global solves the hardest engineering problems for the world's largest companies. Gaurav led the transformation of its global sales function.
Infinote was AI for Documents.
Gaurav helped position the firm with companies obsessed about the impact of “-tech” (hyphen-tech) inside their industry. In June 2026 Persistent Systems agreed to acquire Nagarro at €81 a share, about €1.27bn, forming the Persistent-Nagarro Group; completion is expected between the fourth quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.
Led and transformed Infosys's global sales organization across Practice Sales, Value Design, and Strategic Accounts. Practice Sales brought deep technology expertise into client conversations across the company; Value Design was the pursuit engine that helped Infosys win more deals; Strategic Accounts drove long-term revenue and relationship growth across the firm's largest investment accounts.
In 2007, Infosys was looking for ways to enter new services that could extend its core business model without dipping into its traditional talent pool. Gaurav created the strategy to enter a new service line, secured board approval, and built a completely new Learning Services business from zero clients to fifty-five. He designed the award-winning Sustained End-User Adoption and Learning (SEAL), and Infosys's first productized service offering, LITE.
Tools and systems shipped as live code. The graph is the past year of public commits to the Ekrasworks repositories, and the numbers are what it adds up to: showing up, and scaling up. The gaps in the first half are teaching: four university courses inside two months, in two cities, at IIM Ahmedabad, ranked India’s top business school six years running, and at Ashoka University, the country’s leading liberal arts campus.
Frameworks, masterclasses, and habit systems delivered self-paced, in cohorts, and in classrooms, at startups, large enterprises, business schools, and universities. (learn → do)∞

AI concentrates power, and one religious tradition has answered with institutional seriousness but alone. The paper builds a wheel instead: an inherited center held by many traditions, a fast operational edge assembled from institutions that already exist. Ex-Deus Machina is what it argues against, the machine running without spiritual guidance. Peer-reviewed; presented at SVPC 2026, Palo Alto.
Machines now read, write, and calculate better than any of us, which retires the 3Rs as a definition of literacy. In their place: Social, Spiritual, Sales/Value, and Software/Systems, relational capacities that resist automation, with viveka as what their integration produces. Peer-reviewed; presented at SVPC 2026, Palo Alto.
Hindu practice read in its own historical and philosophical context, then applied to the tapatraya, the threefold affliction the tradition names: adhidaivika (situational), adhibhautika (physical), adhyatmika (mental and spiritual). Vedic astrology, Ayurveda, yoga, dhyana, and devotional practice, examined for what a spiritual care provider can actually use, and where each one stops. Peer-reviewed, SAGE Publications.
An examination of how a world already stressed by rampant change reacts to a global crisis. The authors investigate voice, tools, and strategies for coping and remaining relevant in the middle of a technological revolution.
A twice-yearly publication focused on the evolving discipline of spiritual care from the global Hindu diaspora.
