## Early life[edit]

Sahasrabuddhe was born on 17 April 1966 in Girgaon (Mumbai). His father, Srikant Sahasrabuddhe, is still involved with Sangh's work. His mother was an active Rashtra Sevika Samiti worker.

Jayant Sahasrabuddhe has done important work to take the work of Vigyan Bharati to the global level. In an unusual act at a young age, he did a remarkable job of creating a discourse on Indian science and the contribution of Indian scientists to India's independence movement. Jayantji was unceasingly working to give impetus and guidance to the many dimensions and initiatives of Vigyan Bharati. Jayant ji has directed various dimensions of Vijanan Bharati, including the World Ayurveda Foundation, GIST, and NASYA.
