Arvind J

AZen Mynd is the pen name for Arvind J (AJ), a visionary leader at the intersection of Human Experience Design and Mindful Living.

With a Master of Design from IIT Bombay and a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, AJ has spent over two decades leading and coaching teams in Design and Technology. His career includes transformative leadership roles at companies like Dell Technologies, NELNET and Creighton University where he established and led the vision across multiple platforms.

AJ's personal journey into mindfulness began in childhood, sparking a lifelong exploration of meditation and yogic traditions. He is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and has studied Ayurveda, integrating these ancient practices into his understanding of holistic well-being. This deep personal connection to mindfulness informs his approach to both his professional work and his writing as AZen Mynd.

Through the AZen Mynd books, AJ shares accessible practices and insights gleaned from years of seeking inner peace and understanding the human mind. He bridges the gap between modern challenges and ancient wisdom, offering readers a path toward self-discovery, healing, and greater presence. Just as he has guided design teams to create meaningful experiences, through his writing, AZen is driven by a profound service goal: to teach one million people how to meditate, empowering them to cultivate inner peace and resilience in their daily lives.
