I am a disciple of H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and actively volunteer for the Art of Living Foundation. I have been sharing the joy of yoga and meditation with hundreds of individuals as an Art of Living Teacher, Sri Sri Yoga Teacher, Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Teacher and Tlex Teacher. I have taught individuals at different organizations, including Harvard Business School and have also actively been involved in organizing various service initiatives in India and in New York including launching “I Meditate New York” and “Volunteer for a Better India (Mumbai)” – two major service initiatives of the Art of Living Foundation. As a professional, I am currently the Head of Business Development, Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions at Future Group, and the Chief Executive Officer of Amar Chitra Katha Private Ltd. I joined the company in 2012 after a successful career of 12 years working as a merchant banker in New York, where I initially worked at Donaldson Lufkin and Jenrette and then for more than ten years at Berenson & Company. I grew up in Mumbai and then Kolkata before going to Pilani to major in Economics and Chemical Engineering from Birla Insitutue of Technology & Schience. I then went to Hanover, New Hampshire, to complete a Masters in Engineering Management from Dartmouth College. With the support of volunteers we conduct various personal development courses and teach individuals various practical techniques whose principles are based on yoga, meditation and a powerful breathing technique, “Sudarshan Kriya” or the SKY program. The courses not only benefit one at a physical level but also has profound effect at deeper levels of ones consciousness. Personally I have been practising these techniques and principles for the last ten years and it have successfully helped me to improve my relations with colleagues, family members and people around me, my performance at work and helped me become a more valuable contributor to society. I hope to share information, bits of wisdom and some personal anecdotes on meditation and yoga and their practical application with you through this page. I hope it will be helpful to you and allow you to become part of this journey.
