A Structured Force in the Indic Ecosystem

Indica is one of the most thoughtfully structured organizations operating in the Indic renaissance space. It connects all the crucial stakeholders across the educational spectrum—from ancient Gurukuls to modern universities, from philosophical traditions to tech-enabled learning, and from grassroots thinkers to institutional scholars. Through events, seminars, fellowships, and online courses, it builds bridges that the civilizational cause of Bharat so desperately needs.

The Beginning: Indic Film Utsav

My formal association with Indica began with a creative brief—to craft the promotional film for the Indic Film Utsav, their annual film festival that champions cinema rooted in Bharatiya values and cultural truths. That project became the bridge that connected me with Shri Harikiran Vadlamani, Indica’s founder and one of the most quietly powerful mentors in the Indian cultural revival space.

What started as a single project became a growing collaboration.

A Deeper Alignment

Over time, our conversations deepened, and so did the nature of our work together. Indica became a key supporter of the 10 Indic Films Project, helping us take bold, independent narratives into new domains. Beyond that, I began contributing to larger branding efforts across the Indica ecosystem—working on how to position the Indica brand as a central force in Bharatiya intellectual and cultural thought.

Through Indica Pictures, Indic Film Utsav, and other sub-initiatives, we’ve explored storytelling, branding, and strategy in ways that align deeply with the goals of Bharat’s resurgence.

The Road Ahead

Today, I continue to work with Indica on more ambitious initiatives—ones that seek to position Indica not just as a thought partner, but as a pillar of the civilizational mainstream. These efforts span film, education, content, and strategic communication—fuelled by a shared belief in the future of Bharat, shaped by its deepest roots.

This has been more than collaboration. It has been shared dharma in motion.
