About Prof. Ajay Chaturvedi

Prof. Ajay Chaturvedi is a globally recognised civilisational thinker, strategy consultant, author, and scholar of Time (Kāla). His work constitutes a unified civilisational body of knowledge spanning cosmic time, civilisational cycles, sustainability, economics, strategy, consciousness, and systems science.

His scholarship integrates Vedic temporal ontology with modern strategic and systems thinking, addressing the deepest structural causes of ecological, economic, and civilisational breakdown. Rather than analysing symptoms, his work redefines the foundational variables upon which civilisation itself operates: Time, rhythm, cycles, alignment, and restraint.

A defining aspect of his work is the demonstration that modern science—despite its precision—has not defined Time ontologically. Albert Einstein acknowledged that the distinction between past, present, and future is a persistent illusion. Stephen Hawking admitted that even the basic nature of Time remains elusive. Chaturvedi’s work situates these admissions within a broader civilisational context, showing that the absence of a Time ontology is not accidental but civilisational.

Early Life & Education

An alumnus of BITS Pilani and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Chaturvedi also holds a Diploma in Global Leadership & Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School.

He is a Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa Paṇḍita from the Achyutananda Paramparā and studied classical Jyotiṣa at the Devaguru Bṛhaspati Centre

Corporate & Strategy Career

An author, entrepreneur, strategy consultant, and former investment banker, Chaturvedi brings over two decades of experience across global banking, management consulting, and entrepreneurship.

He has helped organisations transition from linear marketing funnels toward Blue Ocean strategies, complex adaptive systems, regenerative production, and cyclical value creation.
