The Journey Behind Mansionex

What started as a personal quest for inner peace has grown into something much larger. We're not your typical meditation platform — we're a group of people who've walked different paths, made plenty of mistakes, and discovered that the longest journeys often lead to the most profound transformations. Our approach isn't about quick fixes or trendy mindfulness apps. It's about committing to the deep, sometimes challenging work of sustained meditation practice.

Back in 2009, I was working 70-hour weeks in Mumbai's financial district, convinced that success meant being constantly busy. The irony wasn't lost on me when I collapsed during a board meeting from what doctors called 'acute stress response.' That's when I stumbled into my first 10-day silent retreat in Igatpuri — not by choice, but because a friend practically dragged me there.

Those ten days changed everything. Not in some magical, instant way, but through the slow, sometimes uncomfortable process of actually sitting with my thoughts for hours at a time. I learned that meditation isn't about emptying your mind — it's about developing the capacity to observe what's already there without immediately reacting to it.

"The real breakthrough came during my third year of practice. I realized I wasn't trying to become a different person — I was learning to befriend the person I already was."

After spending years studying with teachers across India and Southeast Asia, I started noticing how difficult it was for people to find authentic long-form meditation guidance. Most resources focused on 5 or 10-minute sessions, which have their place, but the deeper transformative work happens when you're willing to sit for 30, 45, or even 60 minutes at a time. That's where Mansionex was born — from the understanding that some journeys simply can't be rushed.

Our Teaching Philosophy

We believe meditation is a skill that deepens with time and consistent practice. Our programs are designed for people who are ready to move beyond surface-level mindfulness into the more challenging — and ultimately more rewarding — territory of sustained contemplative practice.

Everything we teach comes from direct experience, not theoretical knowledge. When we guide you through a 45-minute concentration practice, it's because we've spent countless hours working with those same techniques ourselves.

  • 1
    Extended sessions build mental resilience that brief meditations simply cannot develop
  • 2
    Progress happens in cycles of comfort and challenge — we prepare you for both
  • 3
    Traditional techniques adapted for contemporary life, maintaining their depth and integrity
  • 4
    Individual guidance because everyone's meditation journey unfolds differently

Where We're Heading

By late 2025, we're launching our first residential intensive program here in Navi Mumbai. Think of it as a bridge between traditional retreat settings and the practical needs of modern practitioners.

We're also developing partnerships with experienced teachers across India to create a network of authentic meditation instruction that honors both ancient wisdom and contemporary psychological insights. This isn't about scaling up — it's about deepening the quality of guidance we can offer.

3-Day Intensives Starting September 2025
Teacher Training Program Opens November 2025
