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.
