Leadership Rooted in Purpose and Resilience

‍Mit Shah, Founder & CEO of Noble Investment Group, stands as an inspiring example of what purpose-driven leadership can achieve. The son of Indian immigrants who built their American dream through sacrifice, education, and unrelenting work ethic, Mit grew up learning hospitality from the ground up, working the front desk, folding laundry, and watching his parents build community through service. Those early lessons shaped his humility, discipline, and belief that success is never a solo journey. What began with a single motor inn and a $200,000 family loan became a multibillion-dollar enterprise built on talent, teamwork, and a commitment to doing things “the noble way.” Through every economic cycle, from the dot-com bust to 9/11, the Great Recession, and the global pandemic, Mit has led with steadiness, optimism, and an unwavering focus on people. His story demonstrates how conviction, gratitude, and a willingness to learn from every setback create not just a business, but an enduring legacy.
