About
Hardik Kumar Dewan’s journey is a compelling testament to innovation, entrepreneurship, and an unwavering commitment to societal betterment. His foray into the realm of technology commenced with the launch of “Beetle Messenger,” an Indian messaging application with a bold aspiration to challenge global industry leaders such as WhatsApp. Impressively, the application garnered substantial traction, amassing over 20,000 downloads, underscoring Hardik’s entrepreneurial and technological prowess and dedication to developing India’s own technological ecosystem.
In the midst of the challenging COVID-19 pandemic, Hardik’s dedication to societal betterment became even more pronounced. He conceived the “CO-TERMINATOR SHIELD,” a groundbreaking protective shield (patent applied) adorned with an air cooling system and an array of features meticulously designed to support medical specialists and doctors who tirelessly served on the pandemic’s front lines. This innovation not only showcased his philanthropic aptitude but also underscored his profound commitment to the welfare of healthcare professionals.
Hardik is also an accomplished author, having written the book “Why India Needs its AJNA?” This literary work underscores the critical significance of nurturing India’s technological ecosystem, closely aligned with the vision of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” of Hon’ble Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi Ji. It garnered commendation from distinguished dignitaries, including the Hon’ble President and Vice President of India.
Hardik’s philanthropic endeavors are equally praiseworthy. He established the “Hardik Dewan Foundation,” a non-governmental organization (NGO) wholly dedicated to effecting positive change in society. The foundation’s initiatives span child development, technological advancement, education, and women’s empowerment. His initiatives, such as “Foodonation,” “ItsCoolApp,” support to SNJJ School for Slum Area Children, and community engagement through food and awareness camps, exemplify his hands-on approach to addressing societal challenges.
One of the standout initiatives of the Hardik Dewan Foundation is the GREENIFY campaign, which aims to spearhead a movement toward a more sustainable and verdant future. With a steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship, GREENIFY seeks to tackle the pressing challenges of ecological degradation through comprehensive initiatives that focus on tree planting, the adoption of sustainable practices, and cultivating a profound connection between diverse communities and the natural environment.
Hardik won the elections of the World Teen Parliament and became a Member of Parliament for the 2024 WTP, representing India globally.
Recently, he organized Haryana’s biggest and first YouTubers and Influencers meet in Gurugram, with Chief Guest Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri Nayab Singh Saini; Guest of Honour, Shri Aseem Goel, Hon’ble Minister of Transport and WCD; and Guest of Honour, Shri Krishan Lal Panwar, Member of Parliament Rajya Sabha.

Projects and Initiatives:
Beetle Messenger
Hardik's journey commenced with the inception and development of the Beetle Messaging App. At a mere age of 15, he attained certification as a Python programmer and Game Developer. This was a time when WhatsApp grappled with privacy concerns. Hardik astutely recognised this predicament and set forth to craft India's indigenous messaging platform. His objective was two-fold: to safeguard privacy and tackle significant national issues. With resolute determination, he initiated the app's development, investing three months of relentless effort. The result was Beetle, India's very own chat application, inaugurated on February 19, 2021, by Haryana's Home and Health Minister, Shri Anil Vij Ji. This achievement drew accolades from political leaders and developers, amplifying its visibility through media coverage. Hardik, driven purely by his altruism, garnered an overwhelming response, reaching over 20,000 downloads within a week, an astounding feat considering he was just in 9th grade.
However, a mere three weeks after its launch, Hardik encountered a disheartening setback. His app was abruptly removed from the Google Play Store, the cause unbeknownst. Determined to rectify this, he engaged in a quest to find a solution. His journey led him to Aacharya Balkrishna, CEO of Patanjali Group, who in turn guided him to communicate with a high-ranking Google official. After numerous efforts, Hardik eventually managed to connect with the official over email. Despite sending extensive evidence and awaiting a response, his plea went unanswered.
CO-TERMINATOR SHIELD
The research relates to protection against viruses, bacteria, and other harmful elements through a face covering shield with an air cooling system, an ionising system, an air purifying system, an SOS system, and mobile application connectivity. This shield is specially designed for medical practitioners, doctors, and other paramedical staff who are devoting themselves to the betterment of our nation. This apparatus can also be used in defence and multiple sectors.
Hardik was deeply moved by the challenges faced by doctors on the frontline of the COVID-19 battle. Witnessing the plight of these medical heroes, he dedicated six months to develop the CO-TERMINATOR SHIELD. It was during a moment of compassion, sparked by a YouTube video showcasing doctors removing their uncomfortable PPE kits, that Hardik's heart melted.
The video exposed the harsh reality doctors were enduring—skin ailments, rashes, excessive sweating, plastic contamination, and other discomforts caused by conventional protective gear. Hardik saw an opportunity to make a difference, and in response to the struggles he witnessed, he embarked on a mission to design a solution that would address these challenges head-on.
Why India needs its AJNA?
Why India needs its AJNA? book is based on the ambition of its Author, Hardik Kumar Dewan. The author want India to develop its own Technological Ecosystem and to have its Search Engine, Social Media Platforms, E-Commerce Apps, OTTs, Communication Platforms, etc. The book is divided into two parts.
The first part consists of the basic functionalities, pros and cons regarding the subjected topic. It will also explain the need for India's own AJNA. "AJNA" means the third eye of Lord Shiva. In the same way that Google and other foreign Tech Titans are fetching and using our citizen's Data for multiple monetary and business benefits, they are conclusively keeping an eye on our privacy. India must stop this privacy breach and open its third eye to revolutionary technological development. The second part of this book consists of a fictional story of a teenage boy named Sarthak, who was at a revolutionary front in the technological development of India. It explains how India can develop its Tech Ecosystem.
Hardik’s goal with this book is to bring this issue to the attention of Indian citizens and the Government of India.
The book holds a significant purpose beyond being just a literary work – it encapsulates the author's mission.
Hardik Dewan Foundation (NGO)
(United Nations Portal Registered )

ItsCool App and Software

By introducing a comprehensive and user-friendly digital platform, the software aims to streamline school management processes, benefiting over 1000 students and aligning seamlessly with the visionary goals set forth by Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji.
The inception of the idea behind ItsCoolApp Software reflects Hardik's profound dedication to transforming education through digitalisation, starting from the grassroots level. Inspired by Hon'ble PM Modi Ji's vision for a digital India, Hardik, a fervent follower of this vision, recognised the paramount importance of digitising the educational ecosystem. As a socially active individual, he was acutely aware of the challenges faced by schools, particularly in remote areas, in adopting digital solutions.
With the goal of making the digitalisation process accessible and cost-effective, Hardik initially explored collaborations with existing school management software companies. However, encountering financial barriers, he channeled his determination into his NGO and embarked on the mission himself. The core motive was to empower educational institutions, especially smaller ones, with the technological tools needed to enhance their management systems and provide students with an environment conducive to embracing technological advancements.

This campaign began in Rewari, with the first steps involving food donations at significant locations, including the Railway station, Temple, Community Centre, etc. The impact of this campaign has been remarkable, thousands of individuals having been provided meals to date.
Through a series of impactful initiatives, the Foundation has organised numerous food donation camps across various locations in Haryana. These camps, held in places like Rewari, have touched the lives of many, ensuring that those in need receive nourishment and support.
Recognising the significance of these campaigns, Hardik has announced a new and ambitious step forward. The upcoming FOODONATION APP, announced during a Food Camp in Rewari on April 6, 2023, is poised to revolutionise the way the Foundation's humanitarian endeavours are carried out. This app will serve as a powerful platform, connecting donors and recipients seamlessly, and extending the reach of their mission to even more individuals and communities.
The Foundation's dedication to the cause of alleviating hunger is further exemplified through this innovative approach, with the launch of the FOODONATION APP being eagerly awaited. On a side note, Hardik’s Foundation is organising regular food campaigns (Physically) in different parts of Haryana.

Enriching Struggle
Hardik's journey commenced with the inception and development of the Beetle Messaging App. At a mere age of 15, he attained certification as a Python programmer and Game Developer. This was a time when WhatsApp grappled with privacy concerns. Hardik astutely recognised this predicament and set forth to craft India's indigenous messaging platform.

This achievement drew accolades from political leaders and developers, amplifying its visibility through media coverage. Hardik, driven purely by his altruism, garnered an overwhelming response, reaching over 20,000 downloads within a week, an astounding feat considering he was just in 9th grade.
However, a mere three weeks after its launch, Hardik encountered a disheartening setback. His app was abruptly removed from the Google Play Store, the cause unbeknownst. Determined to rectify this, he engaged in a quest to find a solution. His journey led him to Aacharya Balkrishna, CEO of Patanjali Group, who in turn guided him to communicate with a high-ranking Google official. After numerous efforts, Hardik eventually managed to connect with the official over email. Despite sending extensive evidence and awaiting a response, his plea went unanswered.
Resolute in his ambition, Hardik embarked on a mission to "DEVELOP INDIA'S OWN TECHNOLOGICAL ECOSYSTEM." Despite initial rejections from tech experts, his encounter with Shubham Upadhyay, a senior Technological officer, proved serendipitous. Together, they meticulously devised a roadmap and strategy aimed at meeting Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji to gain support for this cause.
To establish a firm groundwork for this mission, Hardik and Shubham rallied a team of five dedicated developers and tech professionals. Operating discreetly, they meticulously crafted an all-encompassing plan that delineated India's trajectory toward technological autonomy. This comprehensive blueprint addressed vital aspects such as funding requisites and strategic implementations. This arduous endeavour spanned 1.5 years, conducted in parallel with other commitments, and without any financial incentives. Their exhaustive dedication culminated in a detailed roadmap, with the ultimate aim of metamorphosing India into a technological superpower.
Hardik's subsequent undertaking encompassed penning the book "Why India needs its AJNA?" This idea materialised during his research, where he stumbled upon an old article discussing the launch of "DIGITAL INDIA." Within it, Hon’ble Prime Minister Modi's resounding question, "If Indians can work at Google, Why can't Google be made in India?" resonated deeply. This quote birthed the concept for his book, "Why India needs its AJNA?", serving as a wellspring of motivation and confidence. His relentless pursuit continued, involving engagements with influential leaders, dialogues with YouTubers and influencers, the orchestration of webinars and seminars, and leveraging media channels to reach the hearts of the nation's citizens. Hardik's steadfast dedication to this lofty aspiration remains unswerving, a testament to his tireless journey towards its realisation.
Take the stones people throw at you and use them to build a monument."
