Neha Arora: Leading with Action, Making Travel More Inclusive

Neha Arora is the founder of Planet Abled, an organization which provides accessible and inclusive travel solutions for people of all disabilities. When she was a child, she did not have any travel experiences with her parents due to their disabilities. Places were not accessible or having to endure the insensitivity of people would ruin their overall travel experience. She couldn’t depend on the government to come up with solutions. Therefore, Neha Arora has stepped forward to create solutions for people with disabilities through her organisation called, Planet Abled, based on Universal Design Concept, a first of its kind in the world.Planet Abled is the recipient of many awards including NCPECP – Mphasis Universal Design Award and Indian Responsible Tourism Award by Outlook Traveller and World Travel Market London. The feather in the cap is the best innovative practice award at Zero Project Conference at United Nations Vienna in 2018, to have impacted lives of people with disabilities in the world in a positive way.Neha is a graduate of Nasdaq Entrepreneurial centre MMI program and recipient of India Inclusion Summit fellowship for her work at Planet Abled. In personal capacity, Neha also conducts workshops and awareness sessions in corporate and various forums for seamless amalgamation of people with disabilities in mainstream via the medium of travel. Neha joins us to converse about entrepreneurship challenges, social impact businesses, financial sustainability to run business and her journey of business exclusion to inclusion.  Find out more about Neha Arora and her work by visiting her https://planetabled.com/about-us/.
