Born Into Legacy.
Building Their Own Path.

In this episode of Nexxt in Line, we meet Nimish Arora - Director at Aarone Group and a second-generation entrepreneur in the Indian real estate industry.

With honesty and clarity, he shares the realities of succession in family businesses, the thin line between privilege and entitlement, and why true leadership must always be earned — not inherited.
