About Vikas
I began my journey as an Electrical Engineer from IIT Bombay—learning to design precise, efficient circuits. Over time, my curiosity turned to another kind of circuitry: the mental and emotional patterns that shape how we think, decide, and lead.
Three decades in the corporate world taught me how ambition, pressure, and success can rewire our inner world in subtle ways. Along the way, I found practices that helped restore balance—meditation, breathwork, and reflection. Under the guidance of H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, I’ve spent over two decades deepening these practices through Sudarshan Kriya and related disciplines.
What emerged from this journey is a simple idea I call Inner Wealth—the balance between outer achievement and inner stability. It’s not about withdrawing from ambition; it’s about fueling it from a calmer, more conscious place.
Today, my work brings together business insight and spiritual depth to help leaders build the inner foundations that make success sustainable and relationships humane.

My Story
“I learned to wire circuits at IIT Bombay. Corporate life showed me how people get mentally wired—by pressure, pace, and the stories we tell ourselves. Two decades of meditation and breathwork helped me re-wire, calmly and repeatably. Inner Wealth is that bridge between performance and peace. When the inner balance sheet is healthy, the outer game stops feeling like a fight.”
How I work
I prefer the practical over the performative.
In any workshop or coaching session, I try to replace slogans with usable routines—small, grounded practices that ripple into measurable change.
- Practical > Performative: We focus on habits that hold up in real meetings and tough weeks.
- Measurable Change: Outcomes that show up in decisions, relationships, and team morale.
- Whole-Human Lens: Tools that integrate breathwork, mindfulness, and self-awareness—without dogma.
