Neeta Lulla has been known to utilize Paithani, the ancient technique of tapestry that combines multiple threads of different colors and incorporates gold and silver threads woven together to create a dynamic piece of silk. One of her most notable Paithani collections was shown in February 2016 at the Make In India initiative. At this show she showcased a wide range of pieces including flowing lehangas, long kurtas, jackets, dhoti pants, sarong skirts — all of which were embroidered according to the Paithani style. In regards to the collection and show held in Maharashtra, Neeta commented:<blockquote>“Maharashtra has always held a special place in my heart; this has been home to my whole life and art. I have chosen to showcase the intricacies, elaborateness and immaculacy of Paithani, a legacy of Maharashtra.”<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/fashion/make-in-india-week-neeta-lulla-to-exhibit-paithani-line/|title=Make in India Week: Neeta Lulla to exhibit Paithani line|date=13 February 2016|work=The Indian Express|access-date=26 June 2016}}</ref></blockquote>In 2013, Lulla opened The Whistling Wood International Neeta School of Fashion in her home city of Mumbai.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Neeta Lulla, Subhash Ghai to launch fashion school|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/neeta-lulla-subhash-ghai-to-launch-fashion-school/article23105607.ece|website=@businessline|language=en|access-date=2020-05-13}}</ref> The institute offers a selection of courses in fashion, merchandising and online marketing.

As an extension to my teaching I joined a venture which is part of Whistling Woods International that belongs to Ghai. It seems that Indian film industry really does see the fashion industry as an extension of their own business."</blockquote>

== Social Activism ==
Neeta Lulla has been vocal about combating gender-based violence and has used her work as a platform for promoting the issue. Her 2016 collection "#SheIsMe" simultaneously communicated both gentleness and resilience in the face of abuse. The collections debut at Lakme Fashion Week included a dance recital that spoke against women abuse. Lulla comments:<blockquote>"This collection in its entirety speaks about a woman's characteristics. You see the vibrancy of the Cherry Blossom and the Osmanthus transition into the colours of dried flowers and cracked mother Earth. Just as these magnificent miracles of nature respond to tenderness and care but can also just as easily dry away with neglect, a woman's spirit begins to wither under any physical or emotional abuse. We need to raise our voice against this."<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/fashion/shows/We-need-to-raise-our-voice-against-abuse-Neeta-Lulla/articleshow/51711874.cms|title=We need to raise our voice against abuse: Neeta Lulla|date=6 April 2016|work=Times of India|access-date=26 June 2016}}</ref></blockquote>
