Vijay Kelkar
Astrology was his pursuit from a young age which made him rank 1st in "Jyotish Pradnya" at the age of 14. He was the youngest columnist (at the age of 24) on astrology in "The Youth Times", a fortnightly publication of The Times of India Group (1974-1978). Even after being a successful management entrepreneur, it was his keenness in astrology that made Shri. Vijay Kelkar establish a landmark in this field.
He had a large clientele corroborating for his guidance, and had an outstanding track record of making accurate predictions. His articles and columns were published in magazines and newspapers. He had been making weekly forecast predictions for "Lokprabha", a publication of "The Indian Express" since 1979. Lokprabha commands the highest circulation among Marathi weeklies. He also compiled and edited special issues on astrology for this magazine during 1996, 1997 & 1998. He also has to his credit forecasts made related to investment and business/career prospects for "Outlook Money" magazine belonging to “Outlook Group”. He has authored a book "Tumchyasathi Jyotish" in Marathi language, published by Nitin Prakashan, Pune. His yearly pocket books for each zodiac sign are a big success and are available in many of the leading book stores in the country.
