As a highlight of his visit, Dr. Bhatkar agreed to serve as the Advisor for Research and Development at the Vadodara-based Parul University, marking a new era of scientific research and development of the university. His role will help shape important initiatives in areas like AI in healthcare, cognitive sciences, sustainable technology, and quantum computing.

The centre aims to serve as a global hub for integrated research, effectively combining Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), neuroscience, Vedic science, cognitive and consciousness studies, organizational intelligence, and spiritual philosophies for a broader scope of understanding of human behaviour and cognitive studies. A key focus area of the centre will be Quantum Emotion, which explores the emotional and vibrational structure of consciousness, essentially linking neurobiology with vibrational science and holistic well-being.
