POPxoPowerWomenList: 23 Women Paving The Way Ahead On Their Own Terms

Seven years ago, Priyanka Gill, now Co-Founder, Good Glamm Group and CEO, the Good Media Co started POPxo with the aim of championing women and telling their stories. As an extension of that endeavour, she announced The POPxo Power Women List in 2020. It is an annual list that celebrates incredible Indian women from diverse domains who make power moves that have a real impact.

Who exactly is a power woman, you may ask? A POPxo Power Woman is someone on a mission to make the world a better place. She strives to become the best version of herself, on her own terms. She inspires and motivates us to write our own success stories.

The year 2022 saw incredible women take charge and hustle their way to success, and the POPxo Power Women List 2023 acknowledges and applauds their efforts. While some won laurels for the country in international sports, others went out of their way to lend a helping hand to those in need, and a few others took big risks to make their business reach greater heights. These women have shown by example that there are no barriers when it comes to wanting to make a difference and achieving a goal. That is what makes them unstoppable and that is why it is our privilege to recognise them on The POPxo Power Women List 2023.
