#Episode 87 - Neha Krishnan - Builder, connector, and creative force
Neha Krishnan is a builder, connector, and creative force who has spent over 15 years shaping talent ecosystems at some of the world’s most influential companies, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta.
After a standout career hiring PhDs, early career, and senior tech leaders with extraordinary results, Neha made a bold choice to step into her own creative lift off. She founded Atelier Maharanibagh, an editorial fashion and jewelry house shaped by heritage, global style, and modern technology, personally directing everything from brand storytelling to AI driven imagery and merchandising.
Alongside this, Neha is the voice behind @dilsewithNeha, a global Hindi speaking community of over 120,000 people, where she shares daily voice notes and micro essays on courage, kindness, and action. Her work bridges logic and intuition, structure and soul.
What makes Neha especially compelling is her ability to move fluidly between worlds. Corporate and creative. Strategy and storytelling. Precision and purpose. She doesn’t just tell stories, she hosts conversations that lead to tangible next steps.
