Investor Alok Kejriwal's new quest: Art of Spirituality

Investor Alok Kejriwal has been known to offer business advice to budding entrepreneurs. Now, the Games2Win founder and investor can add a spiritual dash to it. Kejriwal has recently become an Art of Living teacher, and along with his wife, will be holding his first course mid-February.

Kejriwal was introduced to the program in 2000, when he built his first startup Contest2Win. “There was a point that year when I only had about five weeks of cash remaining. Everything seemed to be completely dismal. A friend told me, ‘If you have to go through this stress, why don’t you do something to manage it?’ I did the course and I remember thinking that five weeks are more than 30 days, and miracles can happen if I put myself on track. We started going to customers and offering them services for advanced money. Something happened that positively impacted my life,” recalls Kejriwal.

On wearing a new hat, he says, “Intuition and creativity just explode when you’re spiritual. That helps me a lot in my business.”.
