Neitesh Taral

Leading From The Ground Up

From a lower-middle-class home in Mumbai, Neitesh Taral carried the weight of being the first in his family to pursue an engineering degree. He navigated a path without a network, fueled by pure grit and the unwavering support of his parents.

When he discovered the Aspire Leaders Program, it was a turning point. It celebrated his unique journey and taught him that leadership isn't about being on the "dance floor" of problems, but about getting on the "balcony" to see the bigger picture. He learned that conflict is the engine of innovation and that his lived experience was a powerful foundation for leadership.

Today, Neitesh is an Impact Delivery Manager, ensuring cities grow in inclusive and resilient ways. He is a bridge—between policy and people, data and dignity—proving that you don't just consume knowledge; you create impact.

His message to you is simple: Never underestimate the power of your story. Aspire will help you turn your lived experience into leadership.
