Wondering How Were The 22 POPxo Power Women shortlisted?
Curating the POPxo Power Women List was an arduous albeit rewarding undertaking. Women changemakers really did own the past year and we had to select from a pool of 75 remarkable leaders. We looked at changemakers who made a #PowerMove in the recent past, positively impacted society, and established themselves as peer leaders with their Power Moves. Our endeavour was to shortlist women who emerged as role models for today’s youth by smashing stereotypes, persevering through challenges, and setting new benchmarks.
Here’s How POPxo Will Celebrate The Power Women?
Each trailblazer on the POPxo Power Women List 2022 has a phenomenal story. We look forward to celebrating them in the way we know best—by narrating their tales of success, glory, and determination. Through in-depth interviews, social media amplification, and videos, we look forward to capturing it all for you, our audience and our family.
This is going to be an exciting exercise and we look forward to giving you a sneak peek into the lives of India’s most marvellous women. Here’s to the fire they are, the grit they display, and the power they wield. Here’s to the Power Women!
