Team Tantrika Spotlight Interview

From a title perspective, I am Co Founder, COO and Board Member of Tantrika Institute. From a functional perspective, I serve on the TI Board of Directors which oversees all governing rules and policies which shape the trajectory of the business. I am also the COO, and serve as the intermediary between the corporate governance decisions of the board, and the day to day operation of the business itself. I directly oversee all TI department managers, operations, successful implementation, and growth of all business areas including financial, investment, administration, curriculum, marketing, web/digital technology, global market, and fixed assets such as property and real estate.

Why? Because my default nature is to create. Because I love finding art in the process of going from 0 to 1. To bring into the world something, where before there was only potential. To inspire others, and to be inspired. To manifest form from scratch.

And in the case of TI, as a long-time student of classical Tantra and Yoga first, I am called deeply from within to create from the ground up, the most accessible NST learning experience in the world, across every touch point.

Outside of TI, I enjoy the tactful interplay of adventure – snowboarding, sailing, cooking, and traveling the world; and business – running my global Agriculture Technology enterprise EYC Labs. @EYCLabs on FB and Insta if you wish to check us out.

My sadhana is the bedrock of everything, as it is only through my clear connection to the Divine that I am able to maintain the creative, emotional, and physical energy needed to operate and remain balanced, at the very high bandwidth with which I do.

In regards to actual mechanics of my practice, Bhakti, Hatha (asana), Dhyan, Svadhyaya, and Seva are the ingredients which comprise my daily life.

In addition to my current work of bringing Tantrika Institute to life, I am overcome with ongoing joy, gratitude, and amazement for the efforts of EYC Labs. In just 2 short years since founding the company, my partners and I have worked tirelessly in bringing modernized agriculture technologies such as IoT, AI/ML, & automation, to emerging and rural farming technology markets around the world.

Currently we are deployed across India, Nepal, & USA, and recently we have received the Startup of the Year award for top IoT technology solution in the Indian state of Gujarat. As a result of these efforts, I am currently a USA Delegate in India and Nepal, a frequent keynote presenter at technology summits worldwide, and a chief mentor to entrepreneurial students and start-ups at multiple engineering universities across the globe.

In the near-term, I will be on-site at Tantrika Institute’s first retreat center in Figueiro Dos Vinhos, Portugal where I am overseeing all on-site land development and operations in preparation for our public retreats in May of 2020. From the property I will also be driving all development of TI’s completely custom online Learning Portal which will host our Certificate Program be the digital counterpart to our global retreats.

In the longer-term, once appropriate I will transition from running the day-to-day of the Portugal retreat center, and continue bringing value into the world as I am called to.

If one is inclined to find me, I welcome any and all outreach at any time and am easily findable on through all social media channels, LinkedIn, & my online portfolio 38State.co

Thank you deeply to Hareesh for inviting me along for the ride. I honor and respect you for the integrity and purity with which you transmit the sacred teachings of NST.

And thank you deeply to the Investors, Donors, TYN Global Kula, TI Students, TI Board of Directors, TI Ethics Advisory Board, TI Teaching Faculty, & TI Operations Team which I am in humble service to, and whom makes Tantrika Institute possible.

Om Namah Shivaya 🙏

Jai Maa 🙏
