My Journey

I blend frequencies of ancient wisdom with modern technology to create new harmonies of understanding.

Most people specialize. I integrate. Not because I planned it this way, but because curiosity led me down paths that refused to stay separate. The patterns I found across disciplines — spiritual versus material, ancient versus modern, Eastern versus Western — suggested they weren’t opposites but different expressions of the same underlying reality.

I’m not scattered across niches. I synthesize.

I had corporate success. Then I lost it all. When it came time to rebuild, I chose the road instead of reconstructing the same life.

What I thought would be a brief sabbatical became a decade-long exploration. There was burning curiosity inside, and I was simply following it… from the Himalayan foothills to meditation camps, from ancient temples to modern libraries. From the outside, it probably looked foolish. To be honest, I felt foolish sometimes. They say “think before you jump.” I jumped, then went “What the hell have I done?”

But that vulnerability became a gift.

I spent over a decade as a solo traveler, moving across cultures and traditions with only a backpack and an insatiable curiosity.

I studied ancient philosophies and dove into quantum physics, neuroscience, and cosmology. I examined geopolitics, economics, and the patterns of human history. I learned to read the sky through astronomy and astrology. I trained in traditional yoga lineages. I explored blockchain technology and artificial intelligence.

I wasn’t collecting credentials or building a resume. I was asking questions: How do ancient wisdom systems describe consciousness? What do modern sciences reveal about reality’s fundamental nature? Where do these two ways of knowing converge?

Each domain revealed something the others missed. Each tradition held pieces of a larger puzzle. The Upanishads described consciousness with precision that neuroscience is only now approaching. Quantum physics revealed principles that ancient sages encoded in philosophy thousands of years ago. Blockchain technology embodied principles of decentralization that mirror natural systems.

The connections became undeniable. Before I knew it, I was synthesizing human history with humanity’s possible future… not because I had some grand plan, but because the patterns insisted on being connected.

In 2009, I completed my first yoga training at Sivananda Yoga. By 2011, I was certified in Ashtanga Vinyasa in Dharamsala. In 2013, I completed advanced teacher training in Goa.

A year later, I founded Smriti Yoga in the rainforests of Goa… a sanctuary for wisdom seekers from around the world. For years, I guided students through yoga philosophy, meditation, and the integration of Eastern practices with Western understanding.

In 2015, I shared this synthesis publicly in a TEDx talk titled “Why Do We Travel” at Hindu College, New Delhi. The answer, I argued, wasn’t tourism — it was transformation.

When the pandemic arrived in 2020, Smriti Yoga suspended operations. What seemed like an ending became a beginning.

During lockdown, I converted years of journals and memoirs into something more structured. What started as personal reflection evolved into professional storytelling.

I pursued formal training to match lived experience with craft:

• Persuasive Writing Certification from Harvard University
• Storytelling Certification from University of Cambridge
• Advanced Screenwriting Studies at Whistling Woods International, Mumbai

I worked as a content creator for global brands — Mitsubishi, Daimler, Max Life, ConocoPhillips — translating complex ideas into accessible narratives.

But the most valuable education came from doing: writing badly at first, then writing better. Reading voraciously. Finding my voice through repetition, revision, and refusal to quit.

My writing philosophy is simple: You need both lived experience and technical skill. Master craft without experience, and your words lack soul. Have incredible stories without understanding craft, and those stories never find their audience.

For aspiring writers: Write. Write badly. Write messy first drafts. Write stories that make you cringe. That “bad” writing is the bridge to better writing, and eventually, to writing that moves people.

I’m a synthesist — a translator between worlds that don’t normally communicate.

I write research papers that bridge consciousness studies, quantum physics, and emerging technologies. My work establishes academic credibility for interdisciplinary synthesis in an age that desperately needs it.

I host the Awareness Quotient Podcast, exploring consciousness and human potential in the AI age. Each episode asks: As machines master every task that IQ tests measure, what makes us irreplaceably human?

I write essays at Intersections on Substack, exploring cultural observations, daily epiphanies, and those crossroads moments between the paradoxes of modern life.

I’m writing “The Transition: From Nation-States to Integrated Planetary Civilization,” a comprehensive book that synthesizes everything I’ve learned into a roadmap for humanity’s next evolutionary leap. The book examines five pillars required for planetary-scale coordination — economic infrastructure (blockchain), energy abundance, artificial intelligence, space technology, and human consciousness — and shows how they converge into an integrated whole. Part I establishes cosmic context through galactic cycles and the Kardashev Scale. Part II explores each pillar in depth. Part III presents scenarios from 2050-2100, grounding abstract systems thinking in lived human experience: what it feels like to work, love, and build families as we transition from Type 0 to Type 1 civilization. This isn’t speculation; it’s synthesis of existing technologies, ancient wisdom, and emerging possibilities into a coherent vision of what becomes possible when we evolve our coordination mechanisms to match our technological capabilities.

This work serves builders, seekers, and conscious creators who refuse false choices. People navigating the paradox of being human in an increasingly automated world. Those who sense that neither pure materialism nor pure spiritualism holds the answer. Integration does.

If you’re exhausted by the pressure to “niche down,” if you see connections that others miss, if you hold multiple truths simultaneously without cognitive dissonance… this work is for you.

The 21st century needs synthesizers. People who can bridge ancient wisdom with emerging futures. People who demonstrate that integration isn’t confusion; it’s clarity operating at a higher resolution.

I don’t claim to have all the answers. I offer frameworks, synthesis, and questions worth asking.

The papers I publish, the essays I write, the conversations I host… all of it serves one purpose: preparing humanity for an age where our uniquely human capacities become more valuable than ever.

Not by competing with artificial intelligence, but by awakening to what makes us irreplaceably human: consciousness, creativity, wisdom, and awareness.

This is the work. This is the transmission.
