Peru Dharani is an Indian-born Belgian technology leader, author and speaker whose work moves between science, industrial innovation, societal leadership and the deeper questions of human life.

Born in rural Tamil Nadu and shaped by a life between India and Europe, his writing explores ancestry, migration, science, spirituality and the search for belonging.

His debut memoir, Flowers for Buddha, published by Lannoo in Dutch as Bloemen voor Boeddha, traces his journey from a remote farm in South India to Europe, weaving family memory, civilisational history and philosophical reflection into a deeply personal story of becoming.

Alongside his writing, Peru serves as Senior Vice President Innovation at Barco, bringing together technology, industrial innovation and future-oriented leadership.

He is also an alumnus of Belgium’s 40 under 40 community. His public work continues to explore how human beings can build better futures across cultures, disciplines and borders.

He lives in Belgium with his family.
