About

Greetings! My name is Nikhil Yadav and I am a bestselling author (The Third Eye) and a software engineer. I have a masters degree from New York University in Information Systems, Young India Fellowship from Ashoka University. Over the 7+ years of work experience as Software Engineer, Data Scientist and similar roles, I have acquire multiple skills in front end and back end, DevOps practices, data science, data visualization and administration which enabled me to work at various cross domain fields in software development and Data Scientist I founded Intellectsia with a simple yet powerful vision — to make the human mind future-ready. In today’s world, technology advances faster than our ability to comprehend it. Intellectsia is a movement to bridge this gap by combining ancient Indian science, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Our work spans three areas: 🔹 A framework of 230+ traits to deeply comprehend the human mind 🔹 Personalized AI systems for life and career guidance 🔹 Mind technologies that evolve empathy, intelligence, and consciousness But Intellectsia isn’t just about philosophy — it is about solving real-world challenges. One of the most pressing problems I experienced firsthand is hiring. Traditional recruitment often fails to capture true human capability, leaving both job seekers and employers frustrated. That’s why we built Intellectsia’s recruitment platform — a bias-free psychometric assessment and crowdsourcing system that: ✅ Helps job seekers identify the right roles based on their mind traits and interests ✅ Provides recruiters with pre-screened candidates evaluated on focus, attention, balance, and emotional traits ✅ Saves organizations time, resources, and ensures better quality hires Through this dual mission — evolving the mind and transforming recruitment — Intellectsia is paving a path where individuals can unlock their potential, and organizations can discover talent that truly thrives. For me, this is more than entrepreneurship. It’s a movement to align human intelligence, technology, and opportunity for a better future.
