Nishith Shah
Founder of Thought Labs, NLP Master Trainer, Coach & Mountaineer
Nishith Shah, Founder of Thought Labs and Co-Founder of the NLP Conference India/Global NLP Summit, has been at the forefront of developing the field of NLP for more than 17 years. He has impacted over 5000 individuals across 30+ countries through his unique, experiential NLP programs and transformational retreats held globally.
Much of Nishith’s work is grounded in the art and science of Modelling. Over the years, he has spent extended periods modelling and living with Buddhist monks in the Himalayas and Thailand to cultivate deep presence and unshakable inner calm, with base jumpers in Switzerland to understand how to act powerfully in the face of fear, and with indigenous tribes in Brazil to experience a profound connection with nature and systems thinking. Through these immersive experiences, he has designed powerful learning systems that form the foundation of programs like “NLP at the Himalayas” — an extraordinary and life-altering retreat where participants learn NLP by modelling monks and applying insights in real-time.
In 2008, at the age of 17, he founded Thought Labs with a clear vision: to enable people to live their best lives and fulfill their highest potential. Thought Labs has since grown into a globally respected platform delivering NLP programs in India, the UK, Switzerland, and the UAE. The programs are known for their deep experiential learning approach, where NLP is not just taught as a methodology, but lived as a way of being. Modelling continues to be the core framework through which participants learn and embody NLP in meaningful, real-world contexts.
In 2019, Nishith co-founded the NLP Conference India — the country’s first platform to bring quality NLP Trainers together for learning, impact, and collaboration. The initiative evolved into the Global NLP Summit & Community — the world’s first global platform of its kind, designed to connect, empower, and innovate the future of NLP. Today, the Global NLP Community has over 5000 members from around the world and has hosted some of the most influential NLP leaders from around the world.
Nishith also serves as the International Ambassador for ANLP, playing a key role in expanding access to high-quality NLP learning globally. His commitment to quality, integrity, and innovation continues to shape the direction of the field.
In addition to his work with individuals, Nishith has been transforming organizational culture across industries. He has worked with more than 50 leading organizations including BOSCH, HP, and Wockhardt, supporting them in building high-performing, purpose-driven cultures through courageous leadership and systems thinking.
Nishith is also a professional mountaineer through which he constantly challenges his own boundaries to reach new heights physically, mentally and spiritually.

10X Your Vision Using Your Past As A Resource
What if the future you’re dreaming of is not something you have to invent… but something you’re here to remember?
Every vision that truly matters has an origin — a moment, a story, a promise life once whispered to you. And most of us don’t need a bigger vision. We need a deeper one — one that is rooted in who we’ve been, what we’ve lived, and what has shaped us.
In this session, we will work towards 10xing your vision, not through strategy or ambition. Instead, we’ll go in the opposite direction — into your story.
Into the experiences that moved you.
Into the struggles that refined you.
Into the moments that made you say, “Life shouldn’t just be like this — it could be more.”
Because your past is a treasure chest of meaning, fuel and truth. When you know where your vision was born, you also begin to bring it to life in present and to see the moment in the future when it becomes real. You can see it, hear it, feel it — like a memory from the future calling you forward.
That’s how you 10X your vision — not just by dreaming bigger, but by standing on the depth of your own story.
From that place, action becomes natural. Purpose becomes effortless. And your vision stops being something you chase… it becomes the place you move from.
