Adi Sudarshan began meditating in his early twenties and discovered San Francisco Zen Center through the Young Urban Zen (YUZ) community. He has been practicing zazen at City Center since 2023 and has found the practice to be a source of balance, perspective, and practical wisdom for navigating the pace and stresses of modern life.
Professionally, Adi is a partner at Presidio Legal, where he serves as outside general counsel to startup companies, founders, and venture capital firms. He especially enjoys working with clients in climate technology, sustainability, and other mission-driven sectors. He began his legal career in Boston before relocating to San Francisco in 2018. Adi received his J.D. from Boston College Law School and his undergraduate degrees in statistics and economics from the University of Georgia.
