Network - Adhia's Yogic Side

Hasmukh Adhia is not just another retired IAS officer. As someone who held key positions in the finance ministry at the time of the government’s most-debated economic decisions — introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and demonetisation — he was one of the most high-profile officers leading from the front.

Three years since his retirement, Adhia has been pursuing his passion, yoga and meditation, which he has been practising even during his North Block days, and learning scriptures, including the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. He did his PhD in yoga during 2007-10, in the midst of a busy career. Eight years later, post-retirement, he has moved to Srirangapatna in Karnataka to be with his spiritual guru and learn more about Indian scriptures.
