Rajiv Malhotra (born 15 September 1950) is an Indian-American author, public intellectual, and a proponent of Hindutva. He is the founder of Infinity Foundation, an organisation known to focus on Indic studies, and financially aid Columbia University's project to translate the Tibetan Buddhist Tengyur.
Malhotra has authored books that cover subjects such as civilisational studies, comparative religion, philosophy of science that espouse ideals of Indic traditions and their position in the global discourse.
According to Amanda J Lucia, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at University of California, Malhotra is a "famed Hindu nationalist". Malhotra has written prolifically in opposition to the western academic study of Indian culture and society, which he maintains denigrates the tradition and undermines the interests of India "by encouraging the paradigms that oppose its unity and integrity".
Malhotra was born on September 15, 1950 in New Delhi, India. He earned his undergraduate education in physics at St. Stephen's College, Delhi. He subsequently moved to the United States where he earned a degree in computer science from Syracuse University.
In 1995, Malhotra established Infinity foundation in Princeton, New Jersey.
Malhotra had been a speaker at an international conference held at the Center for Indic Studies, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and was a board member of the Foundation for Indic Philosophy and Culture at the Claremont Colleges. He also wrote extensively on internet discussion groups and e-magazines.
In October 2018, Malhotra was appointed an honorary visiting professor at the Centre for Media Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi. On 6 November 2018, he delivered his first lecture organized by the School of Sanskrit and Indic studies on the topic of Sanskrit non-translatables. As of May 2026, Malhotra serves as the chairman of Center for Indic Studies.
Malhotra founded the institute in 1994; followed by Educational Council of Indic Traditions (ECIT) in 2000. The foundation works without any full-time workers other than the Malhotra himself. The stated goals were to fight a perceived misrepresentation of ancient Indian religions and to document the contributions of India to world civilization. No member of the advisory board was an academic and most belonged to the software industry.
