Born in New York City to parents from Mumbai, India, and raised in Lagos, Nigeria,
Namrata Israni's life has never fit neatly into a box and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Shaped by three continents before she was even an adult, she moves through the world with
the kind of warmth that makes strangers feel like old friends and the kind of drive that turns
big ideas into real things. From Lagos to Las Vegas, from Manhattan to Boca Raton, every
city has left its mark on her. She earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in
Business Management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and has been building,
creating, and connecting ever since.
Her path has been anything but linear, and that is exactly how she likes it. She founded
Beauty and a Beat Dance Company in New York City, a dance brand built around Cardio
Bollywood, where she trained instructors and ran marketing and operations across the
tristate area. Because if you are going to do something, you might as well make it joyful. Her
journey then moved into real estate in New York before bringing her south to Boca Raton,
where she now works in Business Development at Lang Realty, leading agent recruitment
and marketing strategy. In 2025, the entrepreneur in her could not sit still, so she launched
Ngagemint, a marketing and content creation company specializing in social media strategy,
brand growth, and digital presence for small businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Giving back is not something Namrata does on the side. It is woven into who she is. She
served as Co-Chair of the Junior League of Boca Raton's 2025 Woman Volunteer of the Year
Luncheon, one of the League's signature fundraising events, rolling up her sleeves on
everything from planning and sponsorships to marketing and logistics. She was also on the
board of Children's Hope India, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting underprivileged
children. The causes that hold the deepest place in her heart are ones that protect children,
lift up single mothers, and make the world a little more fair. Having seen poverty in both
India and Africa, watching children go without food, education, or opportunity, she has
never taken lightly the privilege of being in a position to help.
Namrata first connected with the George Snow Scholarship Fund through the Junior
League, during a volunteer shift where she helped assemble nutrition boxes for students
preparing for exams. Learning that something as simple as a proper meal could make the
difference in a child's ability to show up and succeed moved her in a way she did not expect,
and pulled her closer to the cause. So when the opportunity to dance in the Battle of the
Ballrooms came along, the passionate side of her did not even hesitate. Dance has always
lived deep in her soul, she is an Indian classical dancer, which tends to surprise people who
know her from the business world. Having the chance to bring that joy to a stage while
raising funds for students who need it most? That is the kind of yes that does not require a
second thought.
When she is not working or volunteering, you will find Namrata on the beach doing
absolutely nothing and loving every second of it, chasing adventures with her boys, or
planning her next trip somewhere that will make her see the world differently. Three words
that ductile her: passionate, warm and hardworking. She lives by one simple belief:
"Wherever you are, be all there." Boca Raton, she is here. She is all in. And she cannot wait
to dance with you.
