전기 및 작가의 여정

Akash Karia is a Hong Kong-based author, speaker, and trainer whose public profiles frame his career as the story of an introvert who moved into one of the most outward-facing professions possible: keynote speaking. Rather than beginning as a purely academic figure, he built his reputation through business, communication, and training work, later drawing on executive experience that included a senior commercial role at a multi-million-dollar company in Tanzania. His formal education caught up with that practical background in 2020–2021, when he completed a British Psychological Society-accredited master’s degree in Organizational Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London; his distinction dissertation examined stress mindset, job crafting, and workplace performance.
