About Jasdeep Khalsa
Jasdeep Khalsa is the Founder / CTO of the ethical & green digital agency Akal Software, a senior software developer, career coach, qualified counsellor, and a published author & poet.
Jasdeep is best described as a jack of all trades, but a master of three:
- Life mastery through meditation & self reflection
- Wealth mastery through investments in property & stocks
- Tech / programming mastery & career coaching
Jasdeep is also an advocate of sustainability, a vegetarian and a charismatic speaker.
Born to a working-class family in the Midlands, Jasdeep and his siblings grew up with very little in terms of wealth but that taught them the ethic of working hard in order to achieve. As a result, Jasdeep excelled in all his subjects at school, but took a particular interest in business, technology, philosophy and religion. Outside of school, Jasdeep would get involved in various charitable and enterprising projects to help serve others and his local community.
From the age of 18, whilst a student at Aston University, Jasdeep underwent a process of intense self development through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, considered to be the most powerful of all yoga practices, and originally taught secretly only to Kings and Queens of royal descent. This caused his way of thinking and seeing the world to change dramatically.
His personal transformation was compounded by formidable teachers and mentors who guided him at each stage of his personal growth, numerous personal development courses which he went on (see the full list of Jasdeep’s recommended courses here), and various spiritual masters he went to see.
Jasdeep also trained as a hypnotherapist & psychotherapeutic counsellor, earning a professional qualification from Chrysalis Courses.
His experiences and insights from this process form the basis of several books available via Amazon.
Jasdeep now believes that mastering one’s own mind, thoughts and feelings is the best foundation for a successful life, relationship and business, and therefore teaches meditation in all of his courses and coaching programmes on life, business and career mastery.
“Personal development and meditation can often be a wishy washy subject, so I decided to only share techniques which work instantly, are very easy to apply and make a measurable, long-lasting impact to the quality of one’s life. Life can be a challenge, but if you have the correct tools and support, you can rise to the challenge and transcend it”.
Meditation is scientifically proven to also help improve levels of concentration and objectivity which are keys to success in both programming, which often involves long periods of focus, and in making sound business investments and decisions without getting emotionally attached.
Today, this mindset has translated into significant personal wealth for both Jasdeep and his family members, who individually are each over six figure earners within the tech / business field with net worths close to or exceeding £1 million.
Now in this privileged position, Jasdeep regularly gives his time and money to help a number of charitable causes including The Trussell Trust, Guide Dogs For The Blind, Woodland Trust, RSPB, Save the Children, Operation Underground Railroad & Nirvana School in Pondicherry, India to name a few.
“What’s important is not to chase money, but to chase creating value in the world, serving the world by solving its problems. Those who serve, money tends to follow them.”
Jasdeep adds:
“I still consider myself a beginner and every day I love to learn something new. I also keep myself down-to-earth and approachable, as you never know who may need your help”.
