Preeti Jhangiani honored by Reliance Foundation-Jio Her Circle Icon

At the highly anticipated and power-packed awards ceremony held at the Reliance Corporate Park; Her Circle, the digital women's platform founded by Mrs Nita Mukesh Ambani, saw the culmination in a glittering grand finale of the Her Circle Bizruptors Awards 2024. Actress & Entrepreneur Preeti Jhangiani, Co-Founder, Swen Entertainment was honored as the Her Circle Icon. The multi-talented Preeti who started at the age of 17, rose to co-found Swen Entertainment. Her innovative ventures, including the Pro Panja League, showcase her entrepreneurial spirit. The award was presented by Ujjwala Singhania Director, JK International Inc, and in the audience were industry veterans like Dr. Madhu Chopra, Vikram Bawa, Ekta Rajani, and many more cheering for winners. The emcee was Anu Menon, the effervescent ‘Lola Kutty’.

Commenting on the occasion Preeti said “It's tough being a female in a man's world, especially the sporting world. It also has its advantages - I think all of us females can use our multitasking skills, our empathizing skills, our skills to be able to lead, our skills to be able to listen much better in the field of sport, much better than any man can. In the past couple of years, there's been an influx of a lot of females in sports and I think that's a fantastic trend because I feel that females are much better organizers. During the Pro Panja League, we have male, female, and the third gender – and we give equal opportunities and equal pay to all sections of athletes. Even if we see on the production side; we have more females coming up. The Bizruptor initiative by Reliance Her Circle is a motivating one.  I think somebody who would go forth, not care about what people say, be sure about her ideas, and execute what she feels is right is somebody who I would call a Bizruptor.”

 

The Bizruptor awards category is distinctive as the winners have been selected by an independent jury comprising industry icons such as veteran fashion designer, Anita Dongre, venture capitalist, Tarana Lalwani, entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Ankita Vashistha, and CEO Her Circle, Tanya Chaitanya. Over 7 women entrepreneurs across categories were recognized and honored at the first edition of the awards. These women entrepreneurs have transformed their kitchens into studios, living rooms into classrooms, and passion into prosperity. The winners were selected from an initial pool of 1,027 entrepreneurs from across the country.

The awards not only showcased exceptional entrepreneurs but also shed light on the many challenges – social, cultural, and structural – that women have to overcome to start and grow a business. Women make up only a third of entrepreneurs worldwide. The Her Circle Bizruptors 2024 brought together a constellation of remarkable women, each shining brightly in their entrepreneurial endeavors. As the curtains closed on this power-packed event, the stage was set for a new chapter in the narrative of women's empowerment and innovation.
