About Bṛhat

At Bṛhat, we are acutely aware of three pillars

Civilization Is Culture In Action

Reviving and enabling the art of cultural story-telling adapted to contemporary needs

  • Visual and literary stories
  • Design thinking and methods
  • Culture-rooted thought models
Culture in Action
Culture-Compatible Policy

It Needs Culture-Compatible Policy

Radical reorientations are needed in education and ecology. To this end, our focus will be on generating policy currency for culture through frameworks, curriculum and more.

  • NEP-relevant IKS curriculum
  • Policy thinking on education and ecology
  • Culture-fit frameworks

The Work Is Inter-Generational

It needs leadership with cultural-cognition to carry the Agni. This cognition needs to permeate even brand and organisation - essential quarters for the overton window shift.

  • Leadership frameworks
  • Organizational structure
  • Cultural cognition development
