Neha Ved WordPreneur® A Storyteller with Substance
She blinded, she mesmerised.
She was the joy, she was the fun.
A raging pool of dreams,
She was the one kissed by the sun.
Neha Ved WordPreneur®️ is an award-winning Content Strategist, Media Consultant, Brand
Storyteller and a woman of substance, who is on a mission to empower as many lives as she can
with her work. Founder of her creative content studio, PenVmedia –
Content.Strategy.BrandEvolvement, she is also a record holding poet and author, mentor,
spiritualist, dog lover and a woman who has dedicated her life to helping people find their share of
voice.
Neha was drawn to the art of storytelling right from her childhood thanks to the literary and artistic
influences of her mother, Kumudini Ved, who is a singer, poet, artist and holds a master’s in literature.
Her father Dr Paresh Ved, on the other hand, a leading anaesthesiologist from Mumbai, endowed her
with her logical aptitude. Being the first born of her family, she believes she received the best of both
worlds, which shaped her overall feisty, creative personality.
Neha won her first poetry competition at the age of 11 and since then has been wielding the pen like
a sword and it has been an extension of her arm. For the past 16 years, she has paved her path in
the field of media and has donned many roles such as features writer, columnist, editor, PR and
marketing communications consultant. She has worked closely with some of the leading media and
publishing houses, top brands and CEOs to create content that boosts personal and company
branding. She even served as a Content Head of a leading media agency. After being at the top of
the game for such a substantial period, Neha, armed with a solid on-field experience, is driving a
penvolution through her content studio - PenVmedia.
Keeping her creative side alive, she often makes her presence felt on literary forums and poetry
clubs. She is a published author and poet, with 8 World Record Anthologies to her credit. Her short
story – Diva – has been featured in the World’s Largest Flip Anthology of 2021, accredited by the
London Book of Records. Fanning this passion for creative writing and storytelling, she has edited a
host of books, including autobiographies, self-help, personal transformation, fiction, 4 of which are
bestsellers. She has translated psychological and spiritual books such as the Bhagvad Gita, Chinese
philosopher Lao Tzu’s tenets - Tao Te Ching, Krishna, Time, The Mind and more, from Hindi to
English. She now offers editorial consulting and editing services for manuscripts and mentors
industry leaders and literary aspirants.
Neha is passionate about playing the long game and creating a sustainable work environment, rather
than playing shots of immediate gratification. Any company which wants to grow exponentially needs
to begin working on their content and communications strategy since their inception. Neha’s business
strategy of directly connecting with the founder / CEO of start-ups, has created value and long-
standing relationships and has helped several people in kick-starting their business and brands
communications.
She strongly believes, be the hero you always you would like to have in your life and that is visible in
the candid demeanour with her employees, mentees and clients. She is the kind of woman who
believes in supporting young aspirants, other professionals and other women and walks the talk with
her role as Vice President for WICCI (Women's Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry) National
Council for Reproductive Health and Rights. Neha also mentors students seeking abroad education
to tell their story through SOPs and application essays. She regularly conducts sessions for poets,
writers and professionals, on a variety of topics and modules, that help them benefit from her diverse
experience and sound counsel.
Neha has found the code of combining technology + bold talent + unique clients, leveraged with her
universe of experience to win and capture the market. Brands are being people and people are being
brands. She believes every human can be a convincing storyteller if he or she has self-belief, works
correctly and ensures to stay relevant. Pushing the boundaries of new fields such as medical
communications in a collaborative effort with her brother Dr Rahul Ved, Endodontist and his wife, Dr
Utsavi Shah Ved, Implantologist and artist, she envisions new horizons for her creative content
studio.
Ask her where she sees herself at 60, and she’ll tell you she intends to follow her late mother-in-law,
Anita Khandpur’s advice and be a boss lady throughout her life, with her brother-in-law, aerial
cinematographer, Jai Khandpur, being an encouraging force of the familial matriarchal motto. She
seeks to create PenVmedia to be a pantheon for every content creator, storyteller and media aspirant
to dispel their inherent magic; a place for every brand to connect with their audience and find their
share of voice. Under the umbrella of Neha Ved WordPreneur®️, she envisions impacting 10 million
lives and careers with her mentorship and internship programmes. With her husband, filmmaker Vicky
Khandpur, being the wind beneath her wings, she’s confident of never loosing altitude.
She falls and rises again like a wave in the ocean.
She fans her aspirations like the one would fan dying embers of coal.
She glows in the dark storm like the piercing sunrays in the aftermath.
She rises stronger from the ashes like a Phoenix.
She dances the dance of life even on the field of death
