She completed an Engineering degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering near her hometown while working as a software engineer for one of the multinational IT companies in India . Unable to afford Management college , she worked at several technology companies holding various positions in order to learn the different aspects to plant the foundation for her future endeavors in business . She worked in management jobs , pre-sales and enterprise sales , software development in the IT field , and held positions at small and large startup companies . Her work shifted from the IT industry to Telecom and then to Digital Media and Design ( Adobe ).
Several times , Arora attempted to start her own company but they were all unsuccessful beacuse she either " did not have enough skills , or simply lost interest ," she said . All the while , she sought to learn and and broaden her sense of the business world . " I understand how big corporations work . I understand how startups work and how technology can enable many things if you are doing any work ," she said . " And that is the most integral part of any business ."
The idea of travel was always in the back of her mind as she fought the urge to travel with her parents until she decided that she could not accept the
restrictions any longer .
When looking for solutions , she couldn ’ t find any that worked for her family . After gaining extensive experience in the business and tech industries , Arora considered starting a company centered on providing travel assistance to people with disabilities . Having never met another person who had two parents with physical disabilities , Arora ' s mother and father inspired her to use her unique position to talk about inclusion . She felt that she was chosen in this life to complete this type of work .
Arora was hesitant to start this business after previously failed endeavors and a lack of travel industry experience . This harsh reality led her to build a network before she officially started her company , Planet Abled . Attending tourism fairs and expos , she networked and learned as much relevant information as possible to gain clarity about this industry .
