Nitesh Gor

Nitesh Gor's work explores how ancient wisdom traditions can inform contemporary questions of education, ethics, consciousness and human flourishing. Drawing primarily from the Vedic tradition, his writing and public work examine how spiritual insight can remain intellectually serious, socially relevant and practically useful within modern life. He is the author of Before Religion with HarperCollins, The Dharma of Capitalism and The 5-Minute Gita with Bloomsbury, and The Soul of Education with Routledge. He founded Avanti Schools Trust, co-founded the Dharma Endowment Fund, and has helped develop initiatives across education, ethical finance, retreat environments, community life and spiritual practice. Nitesh has held senior leadership roles across education, industry and investment banking. He holds an MBA from London Business School and was awarded an OBE in 2018 for services to education.
