The Hollywood Reporter India has unveiled its highly anticipated Women in Entertainment – Power List 2025, a groundbreaking initiative designed to honor the trailblazing women who are revolutionizing the world of media and entertainment. This first-of-its-kind list in India celebrates the immense contributions of women who have not only shaped the entertainment industry but have also redefined what it means to lead with vision, creativity, and resilience.

 

The Women in Entertainment – Power List 2025 shines a well-deserved spotlight on women across all facets of the entertainment world—whether through awe-inspiring performances, groundbreaking direction, powerful storytelling, or industry leadership. The list spans a diverse range of talent, from celebrated actresses like Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, to visionary filmmakers such as Zoya Akhtar and Kiran Rao, and influential industry leaders like Ektaa Kapoor and Guneet Monga. These women have not only made an indelible mark on Indian cinema but have also had a profound influence on the global entertainment landscape.

 

Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, described the initiative as more than just a recognition of achievements—”It’s a movement. It stands for representation, ambition, and the sheer force of women who are transforming entertainment in India and beyond. Our aim is to create a meaningful platform that continues to honor their talent and legacy,” she said.

 

Curated in collaboration with Ormax Media, the Power 50 List features formidable women across various sectors, including Bollywood’s leading actresses—Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Nayanthara, to industry giants like Monika Shergill (Netflix) and Nita Ambani (Reliance/Jio Star). These powerhouses have shaped the future of entertainment not just through their individual accomplishments, but by fostering an environment of creativity, innovation, and inclusivity.

 

Anupama Chopra, Editor of The Hollywood Reporter India, expressed her pride in launching the list, emphasizing that this initiative is about creating a lasting platform to amplify the voices of women in entertainment. “These women are breaking barriers, rewriting narratives, and leaving a lasting impact on the world of cinema and beyond,” she shared.

 

To commemorate this incredible achievement, The Hollywood Reporter India will host an exclusive, invite-only event on March 21, 2025, where the biggest names in entertainment will gather to celebrate the leadership, vision, and influence of women in this dynamic industry. The evening promises to be a landmark celebration of their remarkable contributions and an important step in empowering future generations of women in entertainment.
