Rahul Dewan set aside 7% of his company’s profits every year — and built it into a ₹1,000 crore vision for Hindu civilisational defence.

Sangam Talks founder Rahul Dewan presents the story and rationale behind the Hindu Fund — a structured philanthropic vehicle to resource individuals and organisations working to protect and propagate Dharmic civilisation. Drawing personal inspiration from Sadhguru’s 7% monthly salary pledge model, Dewan embedded the same principle into his company’s Articles of Association, funding his Sarayu Foundation before scaling the vision into a broader community fund.

The talk confronts uncomfortable realities: targeted killings of Hindus for political speech (Kamlesh Tiwari), the active evangelisation agenda embedded within political movements, and the demographic arithmetic that makes civilisational defence a time-sensitive project. Dewan challenges the popular Hindu reluctance to proselytise by citing the Rig Veda’s own call to “make the whole world Arya” — and asks whether strategic philanthropy at ₹1,000 crore scale is the missing ingredient in India’s civilisational equation.
