What does it mean to be a part of a powerful cohort of brilliant creatives such as the 'Women in Creativity Power List by Rolling Stone India'?

It's a prestigious and important recognition. I'm so proud to be on the Women in Creativity Power List by Rolling Stone India. It's incredible to be in the company of such powerful creatives and entrepreneurs, and it's great to be a part of an ecosystem that's not only brilliant but also ushering in a new era.
