Along with Hinduism and Buddhism, Jainism is one of the three most ancient Indian religious traditions still in existence. Scholars of religion generally hold that Jainism originated in the 7th–5th century BCE in eastern India.
Dr. Vinod Jain received early exposure to Jain spiritual practices from travelling Jain monks.Throughout his life he has adhered to the Jain practice of being a vegetarian and engaging in meditation and self-reflection. He believes that his grounding in Jain religion has continued to shape his worldview and his values in significant ways. He currently works as a technology and management consultant and is a certified leadership and life coach.
