History
Akal Security, Inc. was founded in 1980 by Gurutej Khalsa, who found that, though he had studied law enforcement, "his beard and turban prevented him from getting a job".[2] At the advice of Yogi Bhajan, Gurutej Khalsa started the company with a $1,200 loan from co-founder Daya Singh Khalsa.[3]
Akal Security had a large expansion in contracts after the September 11th attacks because it was able to recruit a large number of former law enforcement and military personnel.[4] According to The New York Times, the company has benefited from the Army's low-price approach to determining contracts because Akal Security has low overhead and good past performances.[2]
