Shreya Bhalla believes that women build differently — with patience, precision, and a long view. It's a conviction shaped by two careers that most people would call unrelated, but that she sees as one. Trained as an architect (B.Arch, Sushant School of Architecture), Shreya began her professional life designing spaces. Today, as Director at aabee — one of India's leading luxury travel and lifestyle concierge firms — she designs experiences: private celebrations, intimate brand evenings, and bespoke journeys for some of the country's most discerning families. The discipline is the same, she says. Whether it's a building or a business, you're creating something people will live inside.

As a woman leading in two traditionally male-dominated industries — architecture and luxury travel — Shreya knows firsthand what it means to build a seat at the table rather than wait for one. That experience drives her commitment to INEW: creating a space where women entrepreneurs exchange candid counsel, open doors for one another, and grow businesses on their own terms
