Hi, I’m Akshay.
By the age of 27, Akshay had gone from an Indian lower middle class upbringing to the youngest Director of a global Unicorn with 2000+ employees.
Yet, he knew this wasn't it. In his pursuit of happiness over the next 6 years, he moved continents, started companies, undertook creative pursuits in acting & storytelling only to realize he needed to look within.
By 33, he left his multi million dollar career in Tech & committed to 4500+ hours of deep Vipassana meditation. That helped him connect with his authentic self, his mission and he found deep fulfillment in every step towards it.
Based in India and the Netherlands, Akshay is an entrepreneur and life coach. A graduate from IIM Calcutta, he has helped scale the Indian unicorn Cars24 and built a global multimillion-dollar business for Booking.com.
A fitness enthusiast, writer, and speaker, Akshay strongly believes in aligning body, mind, and soul to live an extraordinary life.
Principles I live by.
Over the years, I’ve realized that true fulfillment isn’t found in achievements alone. These principles are the foundation of my journey and the lens through which I coach.
The Path of Ambition.
By 27, I rose from a humble upbringing in India to become the youngest Director at a global unicorn with 2,000+ employees. My journey included an MBA from IIM Calcutta, scaling Cars24 to unicorn status, and building a multimillion-dollar business for Booking.com.
Despite the success, I felt unfulfilled. I had achieved so much, yet something was missing.
02
The Pursuit of More.
Seeking meaning, I left behind the familiar. I explored startups, acting, storytelling, and creative passions across continents. But no matter how far I traveled or how much I created, the fulfilment I craved remained elusive.
It wasn’t until I turned inward that everything changed.
03
The Power of Stillness.
Through 4,500+ hours of Vipassana meditation and guidance from masters like Ajahn Brahm, Joseph Goldstein, and S.N. Goenka, I found the answers I’d been seeking—not out there, but within. I confronted the questions I had spent a lifetime avoiding:
Who am I beneath the titles? What truly matters? What does it mean to live fully?
Through this journey, I connected with my authentic self, discovered my mission, and unlocked fulfilment that doesn’t depend on achievements but on alignment with who I truly am.
04
My journey from achievement to fulfilment.
01
Who am I today?
Based in India and the Netherlands, I divide my time between two continents, building meaningful connections and creating impact globally.
I’m a fitness enthusiast, writer, speaker, and seeker who believes in aligning the body, mind, and soul to live an extraordinary life.
If you’re here, I believe it’s for a reason. You’re not looking for quick fixes—you’re ready to explore, grow, and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
If you’re ready to stop searching for fulfillment and start living it, I’m here to guide you. Let’s create the life you were meant to live.
Curious what really shaped me.
