Establishing Global peace, harmony and
Mr. Hiten Bhuta CEO, CGS Infotech Solutions Pv t. Ltd.
There are many factors that divides the world. Trade & Commerce
has proven to be the most effective unifying factor that binds
world in peace & harmony. Indian culture has always believed
in the idea of Vasudaiv Kutumbak - we are a global family
global understanding through business
T
hese days most business leaders view
business in the narrow context of revenue
and profits. Very few revolutionary
business leaders recognize that business
enterprise can be an instrument for global
peace and harmony. While most business leaders
measure their success through money, revolutionary
business leaders measure their success with the
positive impact it makes on global peace, harmony
and global understanding. Today we are going
to talk about one such business leader who think
beyond monetary gains. Mr. Hiten Bhuta of CGS
Infotech is one such leader with revolutionary ideas
on using business enterprise as the core instrument
for lasting global peace, harmony, partnership and
collaboration.
Frédéric Bastiat famously claimed that “if goods
don’t cross borders, soldiers will.” Bastiat argued that
free trade would promote global peace & harmony.
In “Peace Through Trade or Free Trade” professor
Patrick J. McDonald, from the University of Texas
at Austin, empirically tested whether free and fair
trade can reduce conflict & war between nations. His
conclusion after reviewing 40 years of data: The more
freely a country trades, the fewer wars it engages in.
Industry bodies, chamber of commerce and business
associations that promote free & fair trade also
promote global peace & harmony.
When Mumbai-based entrepreneur & CEO of CGS
Infotech, Hiten Bhuta, founded Sakar Foundation for
global peace & harmony, he used his leading role in
FICCI and US-IIC to improve international trade for
global peace.

- we are a global family”
Spreading spirituality in
the world
Through the course of his global
travel and global trade deals,
Hiten observed that Indian
spiritual values and institutions
& movements like Yoga, Art of
Living, Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev,
BAPS, Swadhyay, Hare Krishna
and Brahmakumaris are playing
an important role in spreading
Indian cultural values of universal
brotherhood and global family.
As a young student, Hiten found
it fascinating to see the educated
and smart youngsters give up
their career to protect cultural
values and spread the message of
Universal Brotherhood and peace
as BAPS monks. Later as CEO of
his company, Hiten visited BAPS
Swaminarayan temples in several
countries around the world.
Hiten has taken several of his
international trade partners and
foreigners to BAPS temples to give
them a quick introduction of India’s
age-old message of global peace
and harmony & taste of Indian
food. Most foreigners want to learn
about Indian culture, practices and
food.
