ABOUT
Our story
INVTL started as a handful of friends meeting up in empty parking lots after dark. What began as a group chat turned into a standard: no entry fees, no judging panels, just an invitation extended to cars and people worth the drive. Every event since has followed the same idea — keep the field small, keep the bar high.
Leadership
Aden Kapadia
Founder & CEO
Aden Kapadia is the founder and CEO of INVTL, an exotic car community built to bring back the culture he grew up with. He started it in July 2024 after watching the car scene get overtaken by reckless takeovers and disrespect for the culture. Growing up, his dad would take him to car shows, and he missed that feeling of family, love, and genuinely good times among people who shared a passion for cars. The Invitational was created to bring that spirit back: real community, real connection, and a shared love for the craft, not chaos. Under his leadership, The Invitational has grown into a nationwide movement, hosting events in 26 cities across the country and building a community of enthusiasts who show up for the culture, not the chaos.
Miles Gray
CO-CEO
As Co-CEO of INVTL, Miles Gray is focused on bringing Atlanta's car community back to the energy, passion, and sense of connection it was known for. With experience working in automotive dealerships, including Mercedes-Benz and Infiniti, he developed a strong understanding of the industry and the people who make the car culture what it is. Outside of INVTL, he pursues photography and social media ventures, combining his passion for cars with content, creativity, and community building. His goal is to help cultivate a stronger Atlanta automotive scene, one built around genuine enthusiasts, memorable experiences, and meaningful connections.
Wali Qasim
President
Wali Qasim's leadership is fundamental to INVTL's success. Personally selected by the CEO, he oversees operations, systems, and marketing, bringing his proven experience from the success of his own business, TorqEvents, to help build the next generation of the car community.
Edwin Avlia
Media/Site Coordinator
Edwin Avlia serves as Media and Site Coordinator for The Invitational, handling location scouting and media coverage for the club's events.
