Founder & Director

Philosopher, Educator, Systems-Builder
Deepak Bansal
Deepak brings over 20 years of experience at the intersection of business, technology, and human development — helping leaders and organizations perform at their best by deepening self-awareness, unlocking inner strengths, and seeing the bigger picture.
​
His foundation is deliberately multidisciplinary: Engineering (MTech, IIM Mumbai, India), Business (MBA, HSG Switzerland), Philosophy (MA, CIIS, California, USA), and Professional Coaching (CPCC, ACC). This rare combination allows him to bridge the analytical and the human — bringing both rigour and depth to everything he does.
​
Deepak has held senior executive roles — Associate Partner, COO, and Director — at globally recognised organisations including Accenture, Deutsche Post DHL, and Zurich Insurance Company, and has led Learning & Development for a strategic consulting unit.
​
He is the founder and director of MQ Learning Academy, an Eduqua-certified Swiss International Academy dedicated to cultivating human leadership capabilities for people and organisations navigating the AI age.
​
A recognised expert in AI Ethics — Deepak teaches AI Ethics at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), supports foundations working on the topic, and is Editor of the book AI Ethics in Practice, published by Springer. His work in this field sits at the frontier of one of the most important conversations of our time.
​
Driven by the question "what does it mean to be human?", Deepak draws on Indian and Western philosophy to offer an integral approach to leadership and learning — one that blends logic, relationships, and values for a more whole and purposeful professional life.
​
A Swiss national of Indian heritage, he is multilingual — fluent in English and Hindi, with professional-level Spanish and advanced German.
