Vishen Lakhiani biography
Motivational speaker Vishen Lakhiani is the founder and CEO of Mindvalley, one of the world’s most influential personal growth education platforms. What began with just $700 and a laptop has grown — without any venture capital funding — into a global enterprise serving over 20 million students across 195 countries. Lakhiani’s mission to disrupt traditional education and unlock human potential has made him one of the most recognized voices in personal transformation, wellness, and conscious leadership.
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Lakhiani studied computer engineering at the University of Michigan before moving to Silicon Valley. His early frustrations with conventional education systems drove him to reimagine how people learn and grow. Through Mindvalley, he has assembled a faculty of world-class experts and built an ecosystem of online programs, mobile apps, and live immersive events — including A-Fest and Mindvalley University — that attract thousands of participants from dozens of countries each year. Inc. Magazine has recognized Mindvalley as home to one of the top ten coolest offices in the world.

The Buddha and the Badass topped the Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller list with its radical framework for merging spiritual growth with professional excellence. His latest book, The 6 Phase Meditation Method, offers a science-backed meditation protocol now used by professional athletes, CEOs, and Grammy-winning artists worldwide. He has been named one of Watkins’ 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People and commands a combined social media following of over four million across his personal channels — a testament to the global community he has built around conscious living and peak performance.
