Neel’s family in India was from the middle class, but he was always inspired by his parents desire to sacrifice whatever they could to help him and his two siblings achieve more. From early on, this type of attention to creating a better child, and therefore a
better world, has been a concept that Neel has embraced in everything he has pursued. It also taught him the value of never backing away from a goal, even if it’s driven from fear. One of these fears was of heights. He started steps to conquer it by making several attempts to sky dive, but the weather never got him off the ground. Eventually, Neel sought out a different route to overcome this fear and received his pilot’s license, and also found an exciting opportunity by becoming an Aviation Medical Examiner for the FAA from 2003-2008.
Aside from his family, education is another thing that has always inspired Neel and he’s known to make the annual trek to Warren Buffet’s shareholders meeting so he can learn from him about both business and fortune.
For inspiration, Neel is passionate about the inspirational teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. It’s this mindset that has really guided Neel in his passions for creating stronger communities with involved, caring citizens.
