NEETA GAJARIA

Founder & Director, Meditourz

An entrepreneur committed to bettering the lives of people, Neeta Gajaria is a Director at, and founding member of, Meditourz Health Services.

As a compassionate and courageous individual, Neeta is motivated by hope, empathy, and a firm belief that all human beings deserve respect and dignity. It was this belief that spurred her to action in 2017, when she founded Meditourz along with her daughter Aashnee. In working to provide patients from around the world access to the best regenerative, orthopaedic, beauty and wellness treatments and therapies, Neeta has found her true calling in the most fulfilling way. With a firm resolve and a clear plan of action, she spreads awareness and educates people about medical progress and the hope for bettering the lives of many. In this, she collaborates with many doctors who are leading pioneers in their fields.

Having graduated in Commerce, Neeta began her career as a visa support officer with the British Embassy in Mumbai in 1991. It was there that she realised her flair for languages and interpersonal skills made her capable of empathizing with and assisting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. She found herself able to resolve complex situations with ease while also establishing genuine human connections.

After fourteen years of working in this role, Neeta wanted to go beyond her accomplishments and find the inner peace that comes from positively impacting the lives of people. Deeply influenced by the beauty and practicality of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, she joined Soka Gakkai International in 2012. This Japanese organisation, committed to establishing value-creating education and world peace through culture, resonates perfectly with her ideals.
