Vishen Lakhiani

Vishen Lakhiani is an entrepreneur and activist, concerned with education and raising human consciousness. A leading figure in personal growth, Vishen is the brains behind one of the largest personal growth online education companies and sits at the helm of top-ranked health and wellness apps. Highly sought as a public speaker, Vishen pushes the importance of diversity, transforming work culture and consciousness, and has delivered to companies such as Google and is also a seasoned TEDx talker.

Born in Kuala Lumpur, Vishen was subject to the poor Malaysian schooling system and felt limited by the lack of opportunities to be creative and think outside the box. His experience of school as a child fuelled a passion to change the fate of education, now working tirelessly to improve and evolve education so the children of the future are more successful. Upon his graduation from university, Vishen landed an internship with tech giant Microsoft but soon realised that this work was not right for him. Instead, he decided to follow a career of human consciousness, transforming education and ultimately bettering the world as we know it. To do this, Vishen founded Mindvalley which has since become a world-renowned personal growth education online company.

Since first establishing Mindvalley, Vishen has put his heart and soul into the business, working tirelessly to develop the brand and help it bloom. Vishen has now founded a number of other successful ventures, such including A-Fest, Wildfit, Mindvalley Quests and the Mindvalley University. His Mindvalley University encompasses Vishen’s mission to evolve the fate of education, an education establishment that focuses on holistic growth. To accompany his successful brand, Vishen authored The Code of Extraordinary Mind, encouraging readers to abandon inherited rules and to think outside the box. His book was well-received, earning him a #1 spot on Amazon and the #2 author on Amazon Kindle, published in over 20 different languages and a New York Times Bestseller.

Vishen is a passionate advocate for diversity, a correct life/ work balance, health and education, something that he discusses in his proficiency as a speaker. Living a life shaped by diversity, descending from a Hindu family that lived in a Muslim country, Vishen is determined to make sure that the world his children and others live in is a more accepting and inclusive place. In partnership with Mindvalley, Vishen has made it his mission by 2038 to make an impact on every aspect of human life, making the world a better place for future generations.

Now a highly sought public speaker, Vishen was first given the opportunity to speak professionally in 2009. Attending a major event in Calgary, Vishen performed in front of the likes of Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama and found his passion for keynote speaking. Since that first moment in the spotlight, Vishen has taken to the stage of many other prestigious events, with clients including the likes of Google and Intel. Covering topics such as futurism, the state of the world, work culture, consciousness and goals, Vishen is the perfect speaker to engage a broad variety of audiences from school pupils to corporate professionals.
