Abhey Singh went viral at Maha Kumbh 2025 as “IITian Baba” because of his inspiring story of change—from being a bright engineer to finding peace as a spiritual seeker. He followed a path many would call “successful,” but his heart always searched for something more.
Early Life and Education
Abhey was born and raised in Jhajjhar, Haryana. His family includes his parents and a sister. He first studied at D H Lawrence Senior Secondary School. With his parents’ encouragement, he earned a place at the famous IIT Bombay in 2008, where he studied Aerospace Engineering and later did his Masters degree in Design.
While studying at IIT, he became deeply interested in philosophy and began exploring life’s deeper questions by delving into the works of Plato, Socrates, and the ideas of Postmodernism.
Professional Career
After completing his engineering studies, Abhey worked as a physics teacher at a coaching institute. However, he felt something was missing. His passion for photography and the dream of living a free, adventurous life took over. Abhey became a travel photographer, capturing stunning pictures of nature and culture. Even though he achieved success, he still felt an emptiness inside, which pushed him to search for a deeper purpose.
Abhey Singh’s Spiritual Journey
Abhey’s life changed when he decided to leave behind material comforts and begin a journey of self-discovery. He traveled to spiritual places like Rishikesh, Dharamshala, and Varanasi. During this time, he learned to live simply, cook for himself, and reflect on life. He also wrote a book – ” A Beautiful Place to Get Lost”.
He went viral when he went to be a part of Maha Kumbh 2025 when journalists found him and asked him about his spiritual journey. Now, Abhey’s long nails, beads, and simple clothing reflect his choice to live outside society’s expectations. He focuses on understanding the mind and finding peace in the present moment.
