Ashwin's journey began in 2013 when, despite his success in scaling high-growth tech startups and receiving numerous professional accolades, he found himself at a crossroads. While living in the UK, he silently struggled with his mental health, leading him to discover meditation and yoga—a turning point that transformed his life. This discovery sparked a decade-long exploration of diverse cultures and teachings. Ashwin delved into the wisdom of renowned teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, and Thich Nhat Hanh, among others. He participated in Vipassana retreats and ashram immersions in the Himalayas and Tiruvannamalai, Southern India. Long silent sabbaticals further contributed to several breakthroughs, during which he experienced expansive states of awareness that shifted his perception. Simultaneously, Ashwin continued his professional endeavors, founding a well-being startup, investing in tech startups, and serving as a senior executive in a leading voice AI company. His commitment to meditation led him to train under Eckhart Tolle's School as a "Teacher of Presence" and to earn certification as a yoga teacher from the Yog Vedanta Forest Academy at Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh. He also became a skilled Shitō-ryū martial artist, integrating the focus from martial arts with his meditation practice. Today, Ashwin seamlessly weaves his insights into his daily life and shares his experience with others as a meditation guide and performance poet. His work focuses on guiding others toward true happiness, offering practical guidance on stillness, peace, and contentment, and inspiring those on their own journeys.

While studying engineering at one of India's top colleges, Dhruv embarked on his entrepreneurial journey by founding one of the country's largest home automation startups. Despite its apparent success, he was plagued by a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, feeling that true, long-term happiness was always just out of reach. Stress had become a normal and accepted part of daily life, and the struggle seemed endless, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic when personal and financial challenges peaked. This period of turmoil led Dhruv on a quest for true happiness. He began exploring mindfulness and meditation, studying ancient texts and their commentaries to understand the techniques from their original sources. When this wasn’t enough, he embarked on a long journey across the Himalayas, learning from various masters in ashrams and monasteries. Each taught different methods, yet they all pointed toward the same goal—a state of being where one can truly be content. Dhruv immersed himself in long retreats across various traditions, including Himalayan yogic traditions, Samatha, Integral Yoga, and Vipassana, always focusing on the techniques and experiences, approaching everything from a rational and scientific perspective. These retreats completely transformed his experience of life, culminating in a state of enduring true happiness. After three years of intense exploration, he now feels it is the right time to share the insights he has gathered. Having successfully guided several online and offline retreats, Dhruv now dedicates himself to helping others on the "Path to Bliss.”
