Khurshed Batliwala

Khurshed holds an M.Sc. in Mathematics from IIT Bombay. He is a Parsi and is fondly called Bawa, a nickname he inherited from his IIT days. More than twenty years ago, he decided that he would rather teach people how to meditate and make them happy instead of teaching them mathematics and making them miserable. He became an Art of Living teacher and this allowed him to do exactly that and gave him the freedom to explore many of his varied passions.

He loves music and plays the piano, is a foodie and runs the Cafe at the Art of Living Bangalore Ashram, enjoys long walks, is a certified Cranio Sacral Therapist, has designed his own board game called Mumbai Connection, is quite passionate about the conservation of the environment, likes movies and theatre with happy endings... And absolutely enjoys teaching.

Khurshed and Dinesh wrote thier first book Ready Study Go! - Smart ways to Learn. It is being published by Harper Collins India and will be in bookstores by December 2016.

He has created workshops to teach mind mapping, mathematics (not the type that makes you miserable), cooking yummy vegetarian food, and how to understand and appreciate western classical music.

His latest workshop is called Study Sutras and is based off a few chapters from his book. It will create a paradigm shift in the way you learn. It will make the process of studying efficient, enjoyable and more meaningful. It will change the way you think and possibly even bring about a transformation in the way you live.
