My name is Sachin Gopal, and I was born in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. My parents struggled initially but eventually made it into the so-called “middle-class” bracket. As a kid, I was always awed by entrepreneurs, and when asked about my dream job, I would say, “Businessman.”
At eighteen, I started my first company, TechSolutions, in our second home with three friends who were part of a substantial programming community. We were reasonably successful and made good money, but a lack of alignment led to a split in 1992. That same year, I came across a magazine on Linux (an operating system) that explained its capabilities and its use by hackers. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally managed to install and run it. Over the years, I painstakingly mastered the OS, focusing on server and application security. This expertise helped me provide consulting services to small firms when I moved to Bangalore in 2003. Later, as a consultant and eventually in full-time roles, I worked with top multinational companies like HP, DELL, Hinduja, Xen, and iGATE.
I hold an MBA with a specialization in Marketing & Systems. Professionally, I head IT & IS for a software company in Bangalore and help startups thrive with minimal infrastructure. My expertise lies specifically in small and medium-sized businesses.
In 2017, a course correction happened in my life which shifted me to the path of self exploration. Today, i will call myself a seeker, a conscious explorer.
I am an experienced meditator with over 5,000 hours of practice, having explored traditions such as Vipassana, Zen, Pranic Healing, and Shamanic meditations. I finally arrived on the Shakti tradition. On weekends, I offer holistic healing sessions as a Certified Past Life Regressionist, YM practitioner, and Pranic and Siddha Healer, rooted in the ancient Srividya tradition of the East. I also practice Kundalini and breathwork, dedicated to de-armoring the body. I am also exploring the spiritual realm through lucid dreaming, astral projection, and out-of-body experiences (OBE). My hobbies include marathons and powerlifting.
As I write, I continue to explore different areas of growth. Let’s create change, find solutions, and expand into spaces and dimensions we have never explored.
