Harish C. Rijhwani

Harish C. Rijhwani is a healthcare IT professional with more than 18 years of experience. He is also a professor and a passionate writer of three awesome books. His latest book titled 'Master The Mystic Arts' demystifies the concept of Data Science and Machine Learning which are considered complex, difficult and "out of this world" by most common folk.

He is currently working with US-based entities in the healthcare sector, delivering value to clients through technology and business services. Harish helps organizations to leverage technology to meet their business goals and optimizing business processes. Owing to his domain expertise, he has been a speaker at multiple conferences, such as at NASSCOM, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and at Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR) University and many more where he has spoken extensively on the theme of how healthcare delivery organizations are using technology as a game changer.

Given his passion for teaching and knowledge-sharing, Harish is a visiting faculty and judge at various institutes viz. Welingkar Institute of Management, KJ Somaiya Institute of Management, Symbiosis Institute of Management. Harish also shares a tremendous passion for teaching, which has led him to become a visiting faculty and judge at various institutes. He teaches subjects like Healthcare Informatics, Business Analytics and Advanced Analytics to 1500+ management students. In the past he has also been affiliated with UpGrad as a Program Curriculum Consultant.

Harish is not only an efficient professional but his deep knowledge of technology and health care made him a passionate writer and from writing articles on LinkedIn, Becker’s Hospital Review, and for his alma mater’s magazine, Rijhwani honed his talent for writing and seventeen years later, has self-published three successful books that reflects his comprehensive expertise in his subjects of proficiency.

His first book ‘Healthcare Decoded’, released in 2019, broadly encompassed the history, present, and future of Health IT by simplifying complex functions and process flows of the healthcare system. ‘Technology to Business’ was his second book ‘Technology to Business’ was launched in May 2020, during a highly relevant time when the whole world was hit with the global pandemic of COVID-19. In this book, he encourages readers to understand the “business" aspect of opportunities and address prevalent industry gaps and challenges by bridging the gap between Technology and Business.

Recently Harish C. Rijhwani launched his third book titled 'Master The Mystic Arts'. This book demystifies the concept of Data Science and Machine Learning which are considered complex, difficult and "out of this world" by most common folk.

Speaking on the occasion Harish said, “The entire motive behind writing this book was to simplify the concepts of Data Science & Machine Learning and make it so relatable to people that anybody and everybody can understand it. But I wanted to present it in a unique way and being a movie buff, I thought of using the reference of movies, as it reflects our real life! I have used references from most of our favourite movies such as, Harry Potter, Avengers Infinity War, Ratatouille, and many more. In this book I have made a humble attempt to change the way one looks at Data Science viz. complex, difficult and at times “out of this world”. It targets Non-Data Science Folks, people who do not understand Data Science/Machine Learning/Analytics but are interested to know about it or are looking to enter this field.”

In this book Rijhwani has carefully broken-down difficult theories into easy-to-comprehend concepts with the help of everyday examples that even a high school student can understand. He has successfully made something as technical as Data Science available for common folk to learn, understand, and apply in their life and career. This book is meant for all and for people from varied backgrounds (Mechanical Engineers, Doctors, Hospital Management Professionals, IT Professionals, Business Analysts, Data Scientists, CEOs and Founders).

Since Harish is a self-published author, he wants to keep himself motivated to write another informative book soon in his very own unique and interesting style.
