Priyanka is globally regarded as the go-to expert when it comes to the Indian entertainment, music, and tech landscape. She's best known for her in-depth knowledge of music rights and is the founder of Khimani & Associates, a well-recognized law firm that boasts of a star-studded clientele.

Commenting on the same, Priyanka said, "I am incredibly honored and humbled to be recognized among such incredible and talented women! It's a privilege to be part of this group of inspirational trailblazers who continue to make waves in the music industry globally."
