Signature keynotes

What your audience walks away with

  • Outcome

    Think Like a Monk: Training the Mind for Peace, Purpose & Performance

    Built on his #1 bestselling book. Jay shares the discipline he learned during his time as a monk, including detachment from ego, a daily meditation practice, and the distinction between passion and purpose, and translates it into a practical performance framework for modern professional life.

  • 8 Rules of Love: Building Relationships That Work

    Drawn from his second book and his newest project, Messy Love. How to date with intention, communicate through conflict, and let go when it's time, blending Vedic relationship wisdom with modern research on connection.

  • Finding Your Purpose in the Workplace (interactive)

    His most-requested interactive session: hands-on exercises that help a team connect individual purpose to company culture and performance, not just as a slogan but as a daily practice.

  • Resilience: The Art of Growing When You Want to Give Up

    On sustaining motivation and mental strength through setbacks, drawn from his own career (a business-school graduate who chose monastic life, then rebuilt a career from nothing) and years of interviews with people who have been through the hardest moments of their lives.

  • Conscious Communication

    Practical frameworks for listening, empathy, and difficult conversations, built from hundreds of interviews on On Purpose and his own coaching work.

  • Purpose in the Age of AI

    What stays uniquely human, purpose, meaning, connection, as automation reshapes work. A timely keynote for organizations trying to keep people at the center of a rapidly changing workplace.

The story

Who Jay actually is

Jay Shetty was born on September 6, 1987, in London, and grew up in Barnet, North London. He studied management science at what is now Bayes Business School (then called Cass Business School), City University of London, graduating with first-class honors in 2010. Rather than heading straight into business, he spent time living and studying as a monk in India and the UK, a period that shaped the philosophy he later built his entire public career on. After returning to the UK, he joined Accenture as a digital consultant, then began producing video content for HuffPost on relationships and mental health. He built an independent following of millions on Facebook and YouTube through short, accessible videos distilling ancient wisdom into modern, practical advice. In 2019, he launched On Purpose with Jay Shetty, which quickly became one of the most downloaded health and wellness podcasts in the world, featuring guests including Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, and President Joe Biden. In 2020, he published his debut book, Think Like a Monk, which debuted at number one on the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller lists. In January 2022, Calm named him its first Chief Purpose Officer, and he began hosting The Daily Jay, a daily mindfulness series on the app. His second book, 8 Rules of Love, followed in 2023, also debuting as a bestseller, alongside a sold-out worldwide speaking tour. He and his wife, wellness expert Radhi Devlukia-Shetty, co-founded the adaptogenic tea brand Sama, inspired by Ayurveda. Jay's reach continues to grow. In January 2026 he launched Messy Love, an Audible Original series bringing his relationship coaching to real couples for the first time. In May 2026 he launched Perfect Strangers Media, a production company that had already closed two Netflix series deals at launch, and On Purpose itself signed a multiyear deal reported at up to $100 million, bringing the podcast's video version exclusively to Netflix and Spotify. Jay lives in Los Angeles with his wife.
