Born in Bihar (1964) and brought up in the cultural city of Pune, Bharat is a double graduate from Harvard University, USA where he has done his Masters in International Taxation from Harvard Law School and Management from Harvard University. He belongs to 1988 batch of the Indian Revenue Service.

His works are very conceptual and thematic. He draws his inspiration from the Indian mythology and presents them in figurative abstract form. His deep thoughts and the inner spirituality clearly reflect in his works. The bold colors and the strokes in his works clearly show the influence of S H Raza whom, Bharat regards as his Guru and gives the credit for initiating him in to the world of art. He was passionate about art since childhood but it was a chance meeting with Raza in Paris which led to an instant divine connect with him. Enthused and inspired he picked up the brush once again in 2000. Raza, his mentor opened his first solo in 2009 in Mumbai. Presently he is under tutelage of
Ms. Anjolie Ela Menon.
