MUMBAI: He’s known for finding the middle of the bat, now he’s finding the middle path. Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer has teamed up with Bhagavad Gita for All (BGFA), a fast-growing faith-tech platform founded by entrepreneur Prithviraaj Shetty, to promote mindfulness, focus, and emotional balance through ancient wisdom reimagined for modern lives.
The collaboration blends the calm of spirituality with the rush of sport, showing how centuries-old teachings can sharpen clarity and resilience under pressure. With the global wellness economy pegged at nearly 6.8 trillion dollars, BGFA is betting on a future where self-awareness and performance go hand in hand.
Over the past ten months, the platform has seen remarkable growth, over 10,000 books sold and 1 lakh plus app users, as young professionals and students increasingly turn to reflective practices for structure and purpose.
Speaking on the partnership, Iyer said, “The Bhagavad Gita for All is not just a book; it’s a companion that helps you reflect, stay balanced, and find purpose amidst challenges. It’s beautifully designed and so relevant for today’s generation.”
The platform’s digital-first approach, including a video-based book, immersive mobile app, and AI companion My Krishna, makes the Gita’s timeless lessons accessible beyond religious boundaries, into leadership, performance, and emotional wellness.
Founder Prithviraaj Shetty added, “Schools and workplaces teach knowledge and skills, but not wisdom. Shreyas personifies the Gita’s spirit, remaining calm, focused, and balanced through every challenge.”
Having previously collaborated with Suniel Shetty, Shilpa Shetty, and Vidyut Jammwal, BGFA’s latest partnership positions it at the crossroads of culture, performance, and spirituality, where inner calm meets outer excellence.
