Neha Arora

Neha Arora

Consultant

Neha Arora, is the founder of Planet Abled, an organization which provides accessible and inclusive travel solutions for people with different disabilities. Born to parents with disabilities and the personal challenging experiences they faced when travelling, she realized a huge gap existed in this area, as no travel companies or hotels in India were geared up to cater for people with disabilities.

With a totally un utilized degree up her sleeve Neha started her career with companies like HCL, Nokia & Adobe before taking the plunge to start Planet Abled. Based on the concept of Universal Design, Planet Abled now offers accessible and inclusive experiences across 30 destinations in India (and counting!). Each of the trips that Planet Abled curates is completely tailormade for each disability.

Neha has joined Indian Experiences as a consultant to assist travel companies as well as hotel and resorts to create disabled friendly travel destinations and experiences throughout India.

Planet Abled also organizes an annual Access2Travel conference where all stakeholders meet on one platform and work together to make India a barrier free travel destination for all.
