Breaking Barriers: Indian-American Woman on Atlanta Talk Radio
When Neha’s radio talk radio show on WMLB-1690 debuted in 2016, she broke the barrier to
become one of the only Indian-American women on Atlanta’s talk radio market.
Determined to open with a grand splash, she booked celebrity CeeLo Green as the first guest welcoming him in-studio. Seen from the Inside’s guest list quickly filled up with leaders like Jeff Foxworthy, Zac
Brown Band members, Collective Soul, Arianna Huffington, Soledad O’Brien, B-52’s and many
more.
Neha and guests would chat about how surmounting obstacles created insight and
morphed into deeply impactful social solutions. Many of the leaders started a foundation that
primarily focused on that one barrier that presented the heaviest challenge to overcome.
Stories like this quickly filled the air waves giving
people the inspiration and motivation to break barriers and ignite positive change.

More on Neha’s Story
Neha was born in bustling Chicago and, as her mom says, started breaking barriers early-especially when it came to talking. From role-playing conversations with her dolls to using her gift of gab to create inclusive spaces on the playground, she learned the power of voice and connection at a young age.
Told she “talked too much,” Neha didn’t silence herself-she harnessed her voice, learning to listen so she could speak with even greater impact. That lesson shaped her joumey, from volunteering as one of the only Indian-American candy stripers in Charlotte (NC) hospitals at 12 to becoming an award-winning thought leader in nonprofit and community driven initiatives.
Her work with the Junior League of Atlanta (JLA) earned her the Best Committee Work award, and she deepened her leadership transformation through an intensive program with the Atlanta Women’s Foundation. Today, she serves on the Executive Board of Conscious Capitalism Atlanta, continuing her commitment to purpose-driven leadership.
Neha’s corporate marketing career spanned Turner Broadcasting, T-Mobile, and Starbucks, but after the birth of her son, she pivoted to entrepreneurship. She founded Storytellers Table, empowering leaders to master public speaking through storytelling.
Her mission? To help others trust and build confidence with their voice.
Neha is the ultimate storyteller. When she spoke at our conference this year, her story about
breaking barriers riveted the audience. She’s professional, engaging and an absolute delight!
Can’t wait to invite her to speak at future events.

Powerhouse Leader with Storytelling Magic Touch
I had the privilege of working with Neha to prepare for a critical investor pitch, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her rare combination of strategic insight and practical wisdom proved invaluable during our preparation sessions. She has an exceptional ability to identify key opportunities for improvement while providing clear, actionable guidance. What truly sets Neha apart is her supportive and encouraging approach, which helped me transform my presentation into a compelling narrative that resonated with a room full of investors. Any founder looking to refine their pitch presentation would be fortunate to work with her.
