New Delhi [India], May 15: As Hiten Bhuta rose to accept the Indo-US Chamber of Commerce’s Lifetime Achievement Award on the radiant evening of April 26, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, the atmosphere was electric with admiration, reverence, and heartfelt celebration.
In the presence of civic leaders like Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, senior diplomats from the Consulate General of India, hospitality icon Bharat Patel (Former Chairman of AAHOA), LPS of USA President Jagdishbhai Patel, and hundreds of visionary Indian-American entrepreneurs, the moment marked more than just an award—it was a collective salute to a life lived with purpose, clarity, and contribution.
As applause echoed through the ballroom, it was the perfect occasion to pause and reflect on the timeless life lessons of this remarkable human being—a rare blend of technocrat, teacher, and torchbearer of inner transformation.
If you think success is about working 100-hour weeks, building billion-dollar empires, and reading 52 productivity books a year—meet Hiten Bhuta.
A man who proves that clarity beats hustle, love is the ultimate operating system, and that real success is measured not in numbers, but in the lives you touch, and the peace you carry.
Born in Damnagar, a quiet town in Gujarat, Hiten Bhuta journeyed from a small Kapol Vaishnav family home to global leadership in AI, hotel technology, and social transformation—without ever losing his smile, his spiritual roots, or his love for gathiya.
So what’s the secret sauce? Let’s decode the Top 7 Qualities of Spiritual & Sustained Success—the kind of success that lasts, heals, and uplifts.
1. Vision with a Soul: See Tomorrow, Serve Today
Long before ChatGPT made AI a dinner-table topic, Hiten Bhuta was already writing, speaking, and training global leaders on AI’s ethical, social, and spiritual implications. Today, he's known as “India’s AI Guru”, a rare blend of visionary technocrat and ethical innovator.
He built Cyberweb Hotels and CGS Infotech, now serving over 2,000 hotels in the U.S., earning the respect of top industry bodies like AAHOA. Bhuta credits support from former AAHOA Staff Members, current AAHOA President Laura Lee Blake, and communities like SLPS and Dedicated Board Of LPS of USA, especially President Jagdishbhai Patel, for keeping his mission rooted in unity and shared values.
“Technology is powerful. But even more powerful is the love you encode into it.”
2. Lifelong Learning: Never Stop Studying—Even After 10 PM
With academic roots in Mithibai College, K.J. Somaiya College, and post-graduate stints at IIM-Ahmedabad and IIT-Bombay’s Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management, Bhuta brings sharp intellect to every conversation—whether it’s on quantum computing, natural farming, or Adi Shankaracharya’s Vedantic poetry.
He continues to contribute ideas to platforms like FICCI, US-India Import Council (US-IIC), and international business forums.
And yes, he still studies new books, ancient scriptures, and AI documentation—often before sunrise, usually with ginger tea.
3. Contribution as the Compass: Profit with a Purpose
Bhuta doesn’t just build businesses. He builds lives.
Through Sakar Trust, he and his team have:
. Built 30 rural schools, 11 community centers & temples, and 11 libraries
. Launched a natural healing center near Valsad
. Conducted nearly 1,000 sessions on yoga, meditation, Adi Shankaracharya, and plant-based health
. Celebrated hundreds of festivals and cultural programs for senior citizens, youth, and women across India
And through Global Kapol Vikas and the Kapol Matrimonial Project, he has championed spiritual, cultural, and family connections among Indians worldwide.
“We aren’t just here to succeed. We’re here to serve—with joy, with discipline, and with love.”
4. Humility in Abundance: From Gujarati Alphabets to Global Awards
Did you know Bhuta only began learning English at age 10? Today, he speaks Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, and English—and uses each language to uplift, teach, and connect.
His awards tell a powerful story:
. Certificate of Appreciation by the US Consulate General (2014)
. Innovation Award by IIT-Bombay (2014)
. Global Visionary Award by Vision World Academy (2016)
. KITE Technological Innovation Award (2008)
. Recognition from Oman Chamber of Commerce (2011)
Each award, Bhuta says, is not a destination—but a light to honor those who stood with him. He offers gratitude to mentors like Dr. Kiran Patel, Werner Erhard, Satya & Raj Shaw, and institutions that believed in his mission.
5. Breakthrough Thinking: Create Space, Then Create Magic
Bhuta’s leadership is steeped in Landmark Worldwide’s transformation technology, and the business consulting excellence of Vanto Group, where he trained under the legendary Werner Erhard.
“Life is not about reacting. It’s about creating. Every moment is a blank canvas.”
Through Landmark, Bhuta has taught leaders to see beyond struggle and to create breakthroughs—in families, businesses, and communities.
6. Faith + Framework: Wisdom from BAPS & Sanatan Dharma
Bhuta’s life draws deep inspiration from Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual beacon of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. From him, Bhuta learned that seva, clarity, and humility can move mountains.
The BAPS book “In Love, At Ease” became a mantra for him—not just in relationships, but in leadership and business.
“To lead without ego, to serve without condition, and to live at ease in love—this is the highest technology of the soul.”
Rooted in Sanatan Dharma and the Pushtimarg tradition, Bhuta’s spiritual practices have made him a radiant force of calm amid chaos.
7. Joyful Living: Celebrate Everything, Complain About Nothing
Whether it's the Banyan Ball 2025 in Tampa, where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Indo-US Chamber of Commerce, or a temple celebration in rural Gujarat, Hiten Bhuta shows up with joy, warmth, and grace.
He sees festivals not as events, but as expressions of spiritual economics—celebrations that generate collective goodwill and inner wealth.
✨ Final Takeaway:
If there’s one lesson to take from Hiten Bhuta’s story—it’s this:
“Success is not the trophy on your desk. It’s the peace in your heart, the clarity in your purpose, and the lives you lift along the way.”
So whether you’re building a business, raising a family, or searching for deeper meaning—study the Bhuta Blueprint:
Be Visionary. Be Grounded. Be in Love. Be at Ease.
