Nipun Mehta – Who Must We Be?

”We need to move from transaction to relationship.” Nipun Mehta brings us on a transcendental journey to find our compassionate selves. Through the transforming story of his walking pilgrimage across India, Nipun kicks off by sharing his three key values: success, service and stillness. Further life snippets trigger us to ask ourselves fundamental questions such as “Where did you learn to be good?” or “Who must we be to walk towards futures we cannot imagine?” For one thing is certain, Nipun loves life and the humans that constitute it. He generously shares with the audience the guiding statements shaping his daily life, work and service, as they are all intertwined. By taking inspiration from figures of compassion and wisdom such as Mother Teresa, Gandhi or Desmond Tutu, he insists that creating a “we-to-we” community centred around our relationship to the other rather than the value involved in the transaction process will make us all more complete humans. As he concludes, “we are not merely what we do but we become who we are by what we do”. A true lesson of community, service and humility to help us navigate the unknown of tomorrow.

Designing for the Intelligence of the Heart | Nipun Mehta | IDG Summit 2023

Join Nipun Mehta on day 1 of the IDG Summit 2023 as he discusses the importance of designing for ‘heart intelligence’ in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence (AI). Nipun illuminates the importance of differentiating between content and context, why we should design for AI (renamed artificial intimacy) and how his initiative ServiceSpace has turned the impact model on its head by starting with inner development. About Nipun Mehta Nipun Mehta is the founder of #ServiceSpace, an incubator of projects that work at the intersection of #volunteerism, #technology, and the gift economy – inspiring people to be the change they wish to see. What started as an experiment with four friends in #siliconvalley grew to a global ecosystem of over 400,000 members that has delivered millions of dollars in service for free. Much of his work explores how we can help more people to embrace #giving and #gratitude. Mehta has received many awards, including the Jefferson Award for Public Service, the President’s Volunteer Service Award, and Wavy Gravy’s Humanitarian Award. He serves on the advisory boards of the Seva Foundation, the #dalailama Foundation, and the Greater Good Science Center. About Inner Development Goals In 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) provided a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. However, progress is not happening fast enough, and we urgently need to increase our collective abilities to face and work effectively with complex challenges. This is why we are co-creating the Inner Development Goals (#IDG) – a non-profit, open-source initiative committed to fostering inner development towards more sustainable futures. We research, collect, and communicate science-based skills and qualities that help us to live purposeful, sustainable, and productive lives.
