About Vivaan Karulkar

New Bharat’s Vivaan Karulkar, a teen who, at the age of 15, got an In-Principle Patent on NEOs (Near Earth Objects), is one of the youngest in the world to achieve this.

At the age of 16, he authored his 1st book, “The Sanatan Dharam: True Source of All Science”, comprising 46 chapters, in which he challenged all the Western inventions of science via references from the Vedas, claiming that modern science of the West is a mere plagiarism of Vedic knowledge. The book was launched at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir by the General Secretary of the Temple Trust, Shri Champat Rai Ji, during Pran-Pratishtha by placing the book in the Garbh Gruh at Ram Lalla’s feet in the Mandir.

At the age of 17, he authored his 2nd book, “The Sanatan Dharam: True Source of All Technology”, which was launched on 15th November 2024 by Parampujya Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Ji Bhagwat, ISRO Chairman Shri S. Somnath, and Nobel Laureate Shri Kailash Satyarthi at the dais of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal, Delhi.

At the age of 18, he authored his 3rd book, “Elon Musk: The Man Who Bends Reality”.
Having been inspired by Musk since the age of 8, Vivaan chose to launch this book on Elon Musk’s Birthday, 28th June 2025. The book created a buzz on social media, trending at No. 3 on X (formerly Twitter), and was widely featured across various digital media and print media platforms.

The Marathi edition of Vivaan’s 2nd book was launched by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, while the Gujarati edition was launched by the Union Minister of Jal Shakti of India and President of BJP Gujarat State Unit, Shri C.R. Patil.
