  • Amul S Bahl - Vedanta Practitioner

    Amul S Bahl, a well-known Vedanta practitioner, is a seamless blend of contemporary science and traditional Vedic philosophy. Amul, who holds an M.Tech. from the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, has always been an innovator.

    From a young age, he excelled in school and had a sympathetic personality who felt other people's suffering and was constantly willing to offer support. Amul is a heterogeneous mix of humility, empathy, selflessness, and genuine love for one's country and fellow citizens, together with mental prowess, a scientific bent, and life-changing discoveries.  But in reality, he still maintains a straightforward, unassuming persona.

     Amul is renowned for introducing Ayurvedic Nanocellopathy as a healthcare technology for society through his venture ‘Yogic Naturals’. A technique that leverages the synergies of several plant extracts and their therapeutic algorithms was developed after 27 years of research. 

    Amul’s Yogic Naturals began as a little Seva in the 1990s, while he was still pursuing his M. Tech. at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) of Delhi. Having carved its own niche, today Yogic Naturals is the pioneering company in the world that can treator manage internal problems and manage them by topically applying a few drops of oil serum. This also has clinical validation backing.

    First and foremost, being of a scientific bent of mind, Amul has devoted significant energy and effort to validate and document the efficacy of Yogic Naturals Products. Yogic Naturals has conducted numerous double-blind placebo/medication controlled clinical studies that have been carried out by an independent Clinical Research Organization headed by an MD from AIIMS, in line with his philosophy of scientifically validating traditional knowledge. The trials are registered under Clinical Trial Registry of India and adhered to worldwide GCP standards. 

    The research hasalso been published in reputable international peer-reviewed medical journals. This has been significant because only a select few Ayurvedic products go through such scientific and safety validation while also being acknowledged by practitioners of contemporary medicine.Under his leadership, Yogic Naturals products have so far been the subject of eight CTRI-registered human clinical trials, published in nine publications in peer-reviewed international medical journals, and many patent applications are underway.

    Significantly, its innovation produced the path-breaking research on COVID-19- atopically used treatment and lung repair solution, researched in collaboration with AIIMS Delhi and now part of  WHO Research Database for COVID. Being of critical importance in tackling COVID and associated Lung Damage, this Research is also available on  Pub Med, Elsevier amongst others.

    As is said, “we become what we eat’, the food we consume not only contributes to our health, but also has a direct implication on our consciousness. Based on Indian philosophy, there are three gunas or qualities: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. To a large extent, these qualities are facilitated by the kind of food we eat and since Sattvic guna is the most desirable of all, we look forward to infusing happiness, peace of mind, and good health in the society by serving Sattvic food.

He came up with the idea for str8bat on the INSEAD campus in Fontainebleau, France during the Blue Ocean Strategy discussion where he was pursuing his Executive Leadership Program. In March 2017, Gagan founded str8bat, a consumer tech company in sports with cricket as the first use along with his cofounder Rahul Nagar. He has a couple of patents against his name.

    Str8bat has helped 5000+ cricket players improve their skills. Among these players, 10% are professional cricketers. Str8bat has spread to over 300 different towns in India, Australia, and South Africa. The likes of Cricket Australia and Rajasthan Royals are some of the esteemed customers of str8bat and they use str8bat tech to develop, profile, and acquire talent.

    Str8bat’s vision is to help every player who plays sport to play better. Str8bat will soon move to other sports and later become a platform player, whose platform other sport tech companies can use to build other specific soliutions.
