My Journey – Neha Rakheja

Please tell us about yourself

I am Neha Rakheja, a professional style consultant, menswear blogger, YouTube & entrepreneur who uses fashion to change people’s lives. It all started I started working on my father and brothers’ wardrobe. Right from their shopping to styling to deciding their looks for meetings or social gatherings. Even as a child, I always had a keen interest in fashion, styling and innovating. To further explore my interest, I studied fashion, styling and marketing in India as well as US. During my stay in US, I saw how men and women there used to put so much effort to dress well and to look appealing. So, when I returned to India, I was driven by the desire to see well groomed and styled men and this paved my path and motivated me to launch UrStyleCoach back in 2015.

Share about what you do

As a professional style consultant, menswear blogger, who uses fashion to change people’s lives. My personal goal is to help gentlemen dress better, live well, do well and develop a unique personal style that matches with their lifestyle and goals. Clothes may not bring a change but it definitely do make a difference. And with that thought I believe that success can be built through style. Fashion is a tool that can be used to change people’s lives positively. I can say that with conviction because I have had a first hand experience to witness that. I strongly believe that if you dress well, you look good, and if you look good, you feel good and when you feel good, you worry less, and the less you worry the more you are able to stay motivated and focused in your goals pursuit and by so doing you are able to live a more fulfilling and successful life. Through Urstylecoach I found my mission to help guys dress better with more style and confidence and ultimately be the best version of themselves. I want to make sure that every man should have his hands on the maximum style with minimum efforts. The idea is to keep it simple yet elegant.

Say something about your beginning

As a kid I liked dressing up my father and my two brothers. It was like dress up game for me. Since then I got fascinated with men’s styling. However before jumping into the business of men’s fashion consultant, I tried my hand in various fields but how they say ‘If you are passionate about something it will make itself happen’ and as now you see is my styling company ‘UrStyleCoach’ flourishing and changing people’s life.

What have been some of your achievements

My articles have been published by CNN, ABC news, Hollywood life, Mint, to name a few and has been applauded by many. I have also written two e-books, one has been published the other one is in line to get published soon.

The difference you have made to others

I have helped people feel more confident about themselves by helping them dress better.

What do you want to be acknowledged for

While there is a huge pool for celebrity stylists, there are few who serve to the normal working people styling needs. I have made it a mission to help them not only dress better but make them more comfortable and confident yet stylish at the same time. I want to be acknowledged for making an effort to help those who are not need it but don’t know where to get it from. I want to be acknowledged for making men feel confident about themselves and making a difference in their lives.
