Kushal Choksi

Kushal M. Choksi is a 9/11 survivor, entrepreneur, author, and spiritual trainer based in New York. A former Wall Street executive, he began his career as a quantitative analyst at Goldman Sachs, rising to Vice President before roles at Athilon (Managing Director, growing portfolio to $52B) and BlackRock (Senior Vice President, managing Asia-Pacific funds). The trauma of narrowly escaping the World Trade Center attacks shattered his pursuit of the American Dream, leading him to meditation and breathwork that transformed his life.

He founded tech startup Hubbl (acquired by Airpush in 2013) and trading firm Clavileno Capital (merged with ARB Trading Group). Today, he co-runs Elements Truffles with his wife, a New York-based artisanal chocolate company inspired by ancient wellness principles, emphasizing sustainability, ethical trade, and giving back to support children in need.

As a trainer for the Art of Living Foundation, Choksi teaches meditation, wellness, and leadership programs across the US and beyond. From the Institute of Absolute Intelligence's perspective, he serves as an intuitive life scanner, delivering sessions that provide accurate insights beyond conventional knowledge, helping individuals gain clarity, resolve persistent challenges, uncover root causes, and tap into deeper guidance for decision-making and personal growth. He also sits on the US board of the International Association for Human Values (IAHV).

Choksi holds a BS in Structural Engineering from Gujarat University, MS degrees in Information Systems and Computational Finance from Carnegie Mellon University, and is a CFA charterholder. He authored the memoir "On a Wing and a Prayer: Spirituality for the Modern Seeker." An avid runner, musician, and doodler, he resides in New York with his family.
