About
Vimal Odedra
I've spent much of my life building, questioning and exploring businesses, technology, ideas and, ultimately, the way we live.
My career has taken me across entrepreneurship, technology, communications, health and social impact. I've built and worked with businesses, advised organisations, developed new ideas and products, and spent years looking at how change actually happens, not just in companies and systems, but in people.
Alongside that work has been a much more personal enquiry. Why can two people experience the same circumstances so differently? Why do we sometimes know exactly what we need to change, yet find ourselves repeating the same patterns? Why do certain people, relationships, environments and experiences leave us energised, while others seem to drain something from us?
Those questions eventually led me to energy.
Not energy as something mystical or abstract, but as something remarkably practical: the finite capacity we each have to think, feel, act, connect, create and live.
The work
Energy: A New Way to Live grew out of years of observation, research, lived experience and experimentation with a simple idea: what changes when we begin to treat our energy as one of our most valuable resources?
I developed the Energy framework to make that idea usable in everyday life. It looks at where our energy comes from, where it goes, what blocks or depletes it, and how the choices we make, consciously and unconsciously, shape the amount of energy available to us.
The framework maps seven distinct centres through which I believe we can better understand these patterns. The purpose isn't to tell people how they should live. It is to give them another way of seeing what is already happening in their lives, and a practical way of deciding what they want to do differently.
That thinking now extends beyond the books. My wider work explores how ideas, technology, health and human behaviour can be brought together to help people live with greater awareness and agency. I'm particularly interested in turning complex subjects into practical tools and experiences that people can actually use.
I don't pretend to have all the answers. Much of my work begins with questions. I test ideas, challenge my own assumptions and keep refining what survives contact with real life.
