This week in Bengaluru, Forbes India and Accel revealed their inaugural list of Top 30 Indian Minds in Artificial Intelligence ( AI). The announcement was part of a first-of-its-kind gathering of researchers, entrepreneurs, policy leaders, academics, and innovators who are shaping the future of AI. Among those selected for the honor was Ganesh Ramakrishnan (Gaura Hari Das), a member of ISKCON Chowpatty in Mumbai.
Forbes India highlighted Ramakrishnan’s role as Lead at BharatGen, India’s open-source multilingual AI initiative, which is advancing inclusive, data-efficient models tailored to the country’s linguistic diversity. It noted, “By enabling AI applications in sectors like education, healthcare, and governance, he’s empowering startups and researchers to build India-specific solutions—shaping a self-reliant, accessible AI ecosystem.”
Speaking of the honor, Ramakrishnan said, “I’m incredibly humbled to be named among the 30 Indian Minds in AI — a recognition that feels more like a responsibility than a reward.”
He shared with ISKCON News, “I remain extremely indebted to the teachings of ISKCON’s Founder-Acharya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and to the most valuable satsanga of so many who aspire to sincerely serve and live by such teachings. Especially in the context of this important and kind recognition from Forbes India and Accel, I would like to quote one of my greatest inspirational teachings from His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaj: ‘Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad-gita – whether you win or lose is not important, what is important is that you perform your duty with the right attitude.'”
