Mission
Dr Sharma is passionate about inspiring people to make higher choices - ones that create real success, growth, happiness, and resilience in life. He has had the privilege of learning from a number of wise masters, and brings his own wisdom to bear on our challenges today, both personal and collective.
"We are going through times of massive change on a global scale. This is a new world and we need new tools and perspectives to navigate it. We cannot return to the old 'Business as Usual' any more. We need to seriously think about how we want to live our lives and what kind of a society we want to live in. If we seize this opportunity, this will prove to be the greatest turning point in our history."
- Dr. Sunil Sharma.
Sunil loves talking to two groups in particular - University students getting ready to start a new life, and people who are seeking a deeper meaning to life wherever they are in whatever they are doing. He also wants to leverage the power of the internet to reach people on a scale previously not possible.

Raised by a German mother and an Indian father, leaves Dr. Sharma with a unique and exquisite blend of Eastern and Western philosophies about life and success. His father, a retired professor and expert in Gandhian philosophy, was actively involved in India's non-violent struggle for independence. His mother was a hard working teacher and housewife. Dr Sharma was born in London, yet raised in India, where meditation, yoga and personal growth training were a part of daily life. An inclination towards seeking truth and meaning in life has been a constant underlying theme in his life. Always an outstanding student, and graduating from high school one year early, he was one of the limited number of students selected to attend the highly sought after Indian Institute of Technology.

Outstanding academic excellence and a full scholarship brought him to Europe as a young man, where he studied at the University of Durham in the UK, winning several academic awards, including Outstanding Student of the Year. He then completed his Ph.D from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. On leaving the university, driven by a spirit of freedom and adventure, he founded and ran his own award-winning software company in Scotland for several years. In 1994, he was recognized as 'Young Scotland 1994' and in 2000 his company was awarded a Deloitte and Touche award for being one of the fastest growing technology companies in the country.

Success however felt hollow. The dormant thirst for a deeper understanding of life awakened. Following his passion, and inspired by guru Yogiraj Shailendra, he began studying ancient Indian texts on personal development, health, life and spirituality. He trained in advanced life enhancement techniques from His Holiness Swami Ramdev. He also discovered his gift of inspiring people to achieve their highest potential by re-igniting their passion and purpose. |
