Biography
Designer of large-scale social movements rooted in small acts of service and powered by micro-moments of inner transformation.
Nipun Mehta left a promising Silicon Valley technology career at Sun Microsystems at age 25 to become a full-time volunteer. In April 1999 he co-founded ServiceSpace with four friends helping a homeless shelter build a website — under three radical constraints: no paid staff, no fundraising, and no impact measurement.
Over the next 25 years, that experiment grew into a global ecosystem of more than 1.5 million members delivering millions of dollars of service for free. ServiceSpace projects include DailyGood, KarmaTube, Smile Cards, Karma Kitchen, and many more — at peak, drawing more than 100 million annual visits.
Nipun has shared the stage with figures from Steve Wozniak to Elizabeth Gilbert to John Lewis. His UPenn commencement address has been read by millions. He has been honored with the Jefferson Award, the Dalai Lama’s Unsung Hero of Compassion award, and the 2019 Goi Peace Award. President Obama appointed him to a council on poverty and inequality, and Germany’s OOOM magazine named him one of the Top 100 Most Inspiring People of 2020.
At the HeartMath European Symposium 3.0, Nipun will share what 25 years of building a gift-economy movement has taught him about generosity, technology, and the inner work that sustains outer change.
