Dr. Navneet Vats comes from a humble, service-class joint family in India, where simplicity and modest resources shaped his early experiences. The early phase of his life was shaped by simplicity, strong family values, and a deep respect for hard work and perseverance. Despite the modest beginnings, he was encouraged to dream big, seek knowledge, and think independently – qualities that later became the driving force behind his journey. His academic pursuits led him to complete postgraduate studies in business and management, where he gravitated toward marketing and strategy. These years of intellectual shaping played a pivotal role in carving his identity as a strategic thinker and an innovator.
His professional life commenced in the fast-paced corridors of India’s corporate sector, where he quickly ascended into key leadership positions. He held prominent marketing roles at reputed organizations including Hughes Communication, ICICI Bank, 92.7 BIG FM, Hindustan Times, and Daewoo Motors. Each role enriched his perspective, honed his business acumen, and deepened his ability to think long-term, even in the face of adversity. The road was not without obstacles. Like every entrepreneur, Dr. Navneet encountered downturns, market uncertainties, and critical failures. But what set him apart was his unwavering commitment to learn, adapt, and realign.
The year 2014 marked a turning point in his journey. Fueled by a vision to merge sustainability with innovation, he founded Livexpo Ventures Private Limited. The company was born from a belief that business must contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world. With FRESHER, Livexpo’s flagship brand, he began developing eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are effective, safe, and environmentally responsible. Livexpo today is trusted by prestigious institutions including ISRO, Indian Railways, the Indian Armed Forces, top hospitals, and both government and private establishments across India. Through the ups and downs, the unwavering support of his family and close friends stood as his greatest strength, helping him navigate the path with clarity and confidence.
Livexpo – Innovation with a Purpose
The genesis of Livexpo Ventures came from a place of genuine concern and visionary thinking. After years in various corporate sectors from telecom to media Dr. Navneet recognized a pressing, unaddressed challenge in the space of hygiene and sustainability. With rising pollution, fast-paced urbanization, and growing public awareness about health, he noticed how traditional cleaning products, loaded with harsh chemicals, posed significant risks to both human health and the environment.
He realized that it wasn’t just about cleanliness, it was about safe, sustainable cleanliness. And this vision evolved into the idea for Livexpo Ventures. Through FRESHER, the company began offering a new generation of high-performance cleaning solutions that are biodegradable and non-toxic. We deliver eco-friendly solutions that outperform chemical-based products in India while remaining truly affordable.
“Creating a product that challenged industry norms meant intensive research, multiple rounds of formulation testing, and a lot of market education. In the early days, convincing clients to switch from familiar chemical brands to sustainable alternatives was not easy.” he says. But he stayed the course. He emphasized quality, consistency, and the broader environmental impact. Slowly but surely, major clients began to take notice. Today, Livexpo proudly services some of India’s most respected institutions and is expanding internationally.
More than just one company, Livexpo has grown into a movement. With sustainability as its compass and innovation as its engine, Dr. Navneet and his team are actively reshaping how the world perceives cleanliness and hygiene.
Navigating Professional and Personal Equilibrium
Balancing a purpose-driven enterprise with personal life is no small feat, and for Navneet, this balance stems from discipline, purpose, and a reliable support system. “Leading Livexpo requires deep focus managing shifting market demands, navigating client relationships, and ensuring operational efficiencies. But I believe effective leadership lies not in micromanagement, but in trust, delegation, and building empowered teams.” he says.
He has consciously created a work culture that values accountability and innovation. This has enabled him to maintain a sense of separation between work and personal life, a challenging, but essential pursuit for mental well-being. “Family is central to my life. My family remains my grounding force, offering unwavering encouragement through all phases of my entrepreneurial journey. I prioritize quality time with them through simple but meaningful rituals—like shared meals, quiet evenings, and occasional travel.” he says.
His daily routine reflects a deep commitment to balance. Early morning planning, disciplined time-blocking, and moments of reflection help him stay aligned and energized. More importantly, his intrinsic motivation comes from Livexpo’s mission. The knowledge that his work contributes to public health and environmental protection provides a strong sense of purpose that sustains him through stress, setbacks, and uncertainty.
To Navneet, life and work are interconnected. They draw from the same well of values and inspiration. By ensuring his business remains an authentic extension of his beliefs, he’s able to channel energy rather than deplete it, making room for personal joy and professional excellence to co-exist.
Entrepreneurial Hunger and Innovation Instinct
Dr. Navneet has always harbored a strong appetite for business a drive that stems from his innate love for creating value, solving problems, and generating impact. “Business for me isn’t merely about transactions or profits; it is about transformation. From my earliest days in marketing, I was intrigued by the psychology behind consumer choices, market behavior, and the strategy needed to launch, build, and sustain powerful brands.” he commented
His career gave him opportunities to engage in everything from product launches to strategic pivots, but it was the birth of Livexpo that truly unleashed his entrepreneurial spirit. Livexpo isn’t just a company, it’s his response to the world’s pressing need for sustainable living. And this form of value creation is what energizes him. The excitement of transforming everyday necessities like cleaning solutions into vehicles of sustainability is the kind of challenge he thrives on.
Dr. Navneet is also drawn to dynamic environments. The unpredictability of entrepreneurship doesn’t deter him, it fuels him. “I see every risk as a learning opportunity, every failure as a steppingstone, and every success as a collective victory. My curiosity for emerging technologies and market shifts ensures I always keep looking ahead.” he says.
To him, business is a platform for impact, it is a way to innovate, uplift, and redefine the rules. His hunger is not to merely grow but to grow with conscience, innovation, and purpose.
Passion for Planet-Positive Progress
What drives Dr. Navneet at his core is a passion to build a better world through innovation. He doesn’t just want to be remembered as a successful businessman but as someone who used business as a force for good. This philosophy is what gave rise to Livexpo and its eco-friendly product line, FRESHER.
He is inspired by the belief that sustainable choices should be accessible, effective, and scalable. His passion lies in developing alternatives to toxic, chemical-based products and creating awareness among institutions, organizations, and everyday users about the importance of clean, safe environments. His team’s innovations are now actively reducing chemical footprints in critical areas like defense services, educational institutions, hospitals, and public transportation.
He also finds passion in people. “I believe in nurturing teams, mentoring emerging leaders, and creating workspaces that balance purpose and performance. I find immense satisfaction in turning ideas into tangible impact whether it’s a breakthrough in product formulation or a successful institutional partnership.” he says.
Beyond products, it’s the movement that matters most to him. His long-term vision is not only to scale Livexpo but to help shift consumer culture toward more responsible choices. For him, this is more than a mission—it’s a legacy.
Turning Crisis into Opportunity
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world, and Livexpo Ventures was not immune to its effects. However, for Dr. Navneet, the crisis also amplified the relevance of Livexpo’s mission. As hygiene and health became global priorities, eco-friendly and safe cleaning solutions found their place at the center of the conversation.
The initial days of the pandemic were challenging. Supply chain disruptions, delivery delays, and institutional shutdowns posed real obstacles. But rather than retreat, he and his team doubled down on their core strengths. They focused on what the market needed most—safe, skin-friendly sanitizers and disinfectants that didn’t compromise on efficacy.
During this critical time, Livexpo prioritized consistency, quality, and availability over aggressive marketing. By ensuring uninterrupted supply to key institutions, especially those serving on the frontlines like hospitals, the company built significant trust and goodwill.
What made Livexpo stand out during the pandemic was its commitment to its founding principles. The company didn’t pivot for profit pivoted to serve. And in doing so, it turned a global crisis into a moment of reaffirmation, proving that sustainability, integrity, and purpose are timeless business values.
Through resilience, foresight, and commitment to public well-being, Dr. Navneet Vats not only helped his company survive the pandemic but positioned Livexpo as a beacon of responsible innovation for the post-COVID era.
