Niti Pagdi — Founder
Building spaces where people discover strength, connection, and personal transformation - through the outdoors, wellness, and community-driven experiences. I’ve spent the last decade bringing together people from diverse backgrounds—curating retreats, adventure immersions, and wellbeing programs that spark growth, emotional resilience, and deep bonds. As the founder of Pink Boots, I design experiences that blend nature, movement, and meaningful dialogue - creating safe, inclusive spaces for women to reconnect with themselves and with each other. Alongside this, I work as a strength & conditioning specialist, with a focus on women and adolescent girls: coaching physical fitness, emotional wellbeing, and self-confidence through mindful movement. I’ve also worked with sports teams, teaching discipline, performance, and resilience. Earlier, I co-founded a strength & conditioning community in Bangalore, worked in executive communications at Hewlett Packard, taught in remote schools in Ladakh, and contributed to research on social identity and inclusion. Rooted in wellness, education, and grassroots community-building, my work has always been about fostering belonging and self-belief. Some personal stats I’m proud of: 18+ curated women’s experiences across India 100+ women impacted through treks, retreats and workshops 300+ member community, set on the path of sustainable health and fitness 10+ years coaching women in health, fitness, sport, and emotional wellbeing Art, music, gardening are some of the things that excite me. Also, a lifelong student of the outdoors and a believer in the magic of small, courageous communities.
