Mohanji at the World Trade Center, New York | Investing in a Purposeful Future

As Mohanji’s three-week visit to the USA approached its conclusion, New York became the setting for a meaningful gathering of leaders from diplomacy, business, finance and philanthropy.

On October 21, Mohanji attended an evening dialogue at the World Trade Center on the theme Investment in an Uncertain World: Geopolitics, Spiritual Guidance, Capital and a More Purposeful Future.

Initiated by Dr. Vladimir Božović, Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia in New York and President of the Society of Foreign Consuls in New York, and hosted by Lu Zhou of Vanquour Wealth Management, the gathering brought together distinguished guests to explore the relationship between leadership, investment, spirituality and the future.

At the heart of Mohanji’s address was a fundamental question: how do we invest the most precious resource we have: TIME?

Mohanji reminded the audience that our choices, attention and use of time shape not only our own lives but also the world around us. He spoke about the importance of inner stability, adaptability and integrity, emphasising that ambition must be balanced with flexibility and that stability in our relationships, work and commitments is essential.

“Our equilibrium is our birthright.”

Kindness was another central theme. Mohanji encouraged the audience to make kindness a priority in every interaction, explaining how selfless actions can strengthen our self-esteem and bring greater meaning to our lives.

The discussion also explored preparedness and resilience in an uncertain world, including the importance of adaptable structures, independent operations and practical contingency planning.

Speaking about the true measure of success and leadership, Mohanji offered a clear perspective:

“If I am worth anything, it should be measured on the transformation of the people.”

The gathering highlighted the value of bringing together different fields of expertise while keeping human values at the centre of progress.

As Mohanji reminded the audience:

“The only capital we have is time. Where you invest your time, that makes you or breaks you.”

📸 You, my friend, hold the kind of fire that builds empires from scratch. Solid as a rock, true to the bone.

Turns out: If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.

Only at a Yorkseed event.

Where else do you see an angel investor, a VC, and a family office sitting side-by-side on the same panel and founders step up to pitch with nothing but 60 seconds and conviction?

Last week at our Fintech & AI Pitch Forum with @getwalletmax at @belong.nyc during New York Tech Week, the room was filled with builders, investors, operators, and decision-makers who came ready to engage.

One of the highlights was Pitch Roulette — a game where we designed it back in Paris, a fast-paced founder showcase where entrepreneurs had one minute to introduce themselves, share what they’re building, and make the room remember them.

No decks.
No theatrics.
Just founders putting themselves out there.

What followed were the conversations that matter: investor introductions, founder-to-founder connections, partnership discussions, and unexpected opportunities.

The best moments weren’t on stage. They happened afterward.

Thank you to everyone who pitched, participated, voted, shared feedback, and helped create the energy in the room.

At @yorkseed , we’re not trying to build the biggest rooms.

We’re focused on building the right ones. @techweeka16z @belong.nyc

7 days. 11 Yorkseed events. 3 community partner events.

What started as a simple idea to bring the right people into the same room became one of the most ambitious weeks we’ve ever produced.

From founder dinners and investor salons to wellness experiences, panels, pitch forums, and Yorkseed House, this week wasn’t about collecting business cards. It was about creating spaces where meaningful conversations could happen naturally.

Thank you to every founder, investor, operator, creator, partner, volunteer, and friend who helped make @yorkseed New York Tech Week 2026 unforgettable.

This is only Part 1.

More moments, more stories, and more behind-the-scenes from the week coming soon.

Here’s a best of from the #PHOTOBOX and a quick recap of my exhibition CAPTURED_IN_THE_CITY_GRID at La Nacional 📸

Looking back, the most beautiful part wasn't just the art, but realizing the incredible community I have around me. Having friends show up early on a Sunday morning to hang the pieces... that’s something I don’t take for granted.

Kudos to Angel, Brayka, Kathi, and Peter for the support and the genuine moments we shared. Thanks again to Walter for making all this possible. It was such a blast.

And a massive thank you to everyone for embracing the #PHOTOBOX so enthusiastically. We captured some truly stunning portraits together!

The next exhibition is already in the works for March in DUMBO. Stay tuned! 🗽

We are right in the middle of preparing for this amazing spectacle, kicking things off this Sunday. Doors open at 11 am, and the opening event starts at 2 pm. Please spread the word, share it until your fingers bleed.

3 days, starts 11am daily.

The complete program is available through the QR code.  The exhibition will be embedded into the 15th Anniversary Edition of the Bronx World Film Cycle and curated by @bronxworldfilm. I am going to be the spotlighted artist, which makes me proud af.
 Thanks to @bxfilmcat for making this possible. Check out his praise about myself (likewise, definitely): https://www.bronxworldfilm.org/multi-arts-winter-cycle

The unifying theme is the indivual in relation to the urban network; my haul of the last few months since I’ve been in NYC.  During the exhibition, I will be present every day from 11am to 3:30pm to shoot professional portraits for interested visitors. Bring your mood, your edge, and cusiosity. I’ll bring the creative force and the lens. No registration required. 
I’m planning this as an old-school photo exhibition. No fancy stuff, nothing distracting. My haptic photos in haptic frames on haptic walls (which also makes me proud af). No Insta, no likes. Real interaction and conversation. 
Let’s hope for the best and that the pictures don’t fall off the walls. See you at the bar. .
