ABSTRACT
BIOGRAPHY
From being appointed by US President Obama on a council on poverty and inequality, to the Dalai Lama honoring him with a compassion award, Nipun is a brilliantly beautiful human being who impacts the lives of all he comes across. Nipun is the founder of a movement called ServiceSpace<https://www.servicespace.org/> — an incubator of “labor of love” projects. What started as an experiment with friends in Silicon Valley is now a global ecosystem of more than 500,000 members that includes wide-ranging “gift economy” projects ranging from DailyGood<https://www.dailygood.org/> to KindSpring<https://www.kindspring.org/> to KarmaKitchen<https://www.karmakitchen.org/>. To live into his values more deeply, right after his marriage in 2004, he embarked on a dramatic walking pilgrimage<https://www.dailygood.org/story/236/paths-are-made-by-walking-nipun-mehta/> across India, living entirely on the kindness of strangers His mission statement in life simply reads: “Bring smiles in the world and stillness in my heart.”
