Set amidst the mesmerizing agricultural fields of a small village, around 20 km from Saharanpur, this is the tale of zestful personality determined to rise above the stereotypic levels of a healthy, happy life- Prof. Vikash Bhardwaj.

Like every other kid of those times, Prof. Bhardwaj also wished for a comfortable life too, and the fields had taught him a precious approach to life- “As you sow, so shall you reap.” He knew well that to secure a happy life, he was required to put his heart and soul into every work that he did. Prof. Bhardwaj did his schooling at a UP Board school and then later moved ahead for engineering to Uttarakhand Technical University (Dehradun).

When his life had already begun to prosper, he laid the founding stone of success with his first start-ups with DTHT INFOTECH as MATLAB instructor in 3rd Year of Engineering during his summer internship program. In 2011, he submitted his energy audit report in UTTARAKHAND’s 1st RENEWABLE ENERGY SUMMIT along with endeavor. He achieved The Best Energy Audit Research Award, 2011 by the Uttarakhand Council of Science and Technology, and iCare India also got a letter of appreciation from UCOST.
It was the moment that boosted his confidence within himself to move ahead. Engineering life was also full of accomplishments for Prof. Bhardwaj. Mr. Bhardwaj Founded AMPERANZA, The Electrical Engineering Students Society, with the motto of Electrifying New Ideas. He wonderfully narrates his professor Karan Aneja, who motivated him to keep going. It made Prof. Bhardwaj write a research paper on DC Motor Load & Efficiency at such a tender age, published at National Conference on Recent Advances in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (NCRAEEE) at DBIT Dehradun in 2012.
Journey Ahead
Later, professor Husain Ahmed published Controlling of DC Motors using Fuzzy Logic Controller at such a tender age, which was published in Atlantis Press. He even organized a Conference on advancement in Communication and Control Systems (CACCS) in his final year. Hence, Prof. Bhardwaj productively completed his B.Tech.
Research work in college days had instigated an interest for further studies into him. When he expressed his wish to pursue M.Tech before his family, they were somewhat reluctant and wanted him to go for a job. Prof. Vikash Bhardwaj had a rock-solid will to go for M.Tech, and he, therefore, took admission to M.Tech at DIT at his own risk. At M.Tech, Vikash even founded DIVI Educational Services with one of his schoolmates, Mr. Ankur Aggarwal. DIVI Educational Services flourished with 40 students, with Vikash simultaneously giving the training to polish his engineering skills.

Giving it Back
He kept giving training in various fields to various students, the most anticipated one being training on “English phobia” to help aspirants like him achieve equal success as their English-speaking mates. He also instructed and even trained himself on English phobia and confidence building. They were like the days of spring in his life. One of his students took the initiative of taking forward the DIVI Educational Services and made efforts in establishing four centers of coaching with the alumni teaching the lower classes at these centers in Dehradun.
As the greatest of philosophers have always said, keep moving until you succeed, and this was what exactly Prof. Bhardwaj believed in. Associating with one of his students named Ankur Tomar, he initiated Verobert in 2018, a hub of technical services like web, graphics, etc. When the work at Verobert was in full swing, Mr. Bhardwaj Founded Shree RUDRA Graphics, an active A to Z Advertising Agency providing high-grade facilities throughout the country with the prime theme of Think, Design, Print.
