As a teenager Nikunj described himself as an atheist. At age 13 he encountered Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Nandini, a meeting that prompted him to explore spirituality and ultimately join the Brahma Kumaris. He discussed his decision with his parents before formally affiliating with the organisation, although some relatives did not approve.

Career
Soon after joining the Brahma Kumaris, Nikunj took on active roles within the movement. In April 1990 he began working at the organisation’s centre in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, and took responsibility for media and public relations at the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University.

His corporate work has included stress management, leadership training and spiritual sessions for organisations such as Godrej, Nicholas Piramal, Rallis India and Coca-Cola.

Nikunj developed a public-facing profile through television and digital media.
