Titled “Voices of Influence: Craft, Creativity & Cultural Presence,” the panel brought together trailblazing women from across industries to reflect on identity, innovation, and leadership.
Moderated by writer and filmmaker Saraswathi Buyyala, the discussion featured a stellar lineup of women who are challenging conventions and redefining influence:
● Kanika Tekriwal, aviation entrepreneur and founder of JetSetGo, is transforming access to private aviation while elevating Indian craftsmanship globally.

● Sakshi Sindwani, digital creator and body positivity advocate, is changing the face of beauty and fashion through fearless self-expression and unapologetic authenticity.
“This wasn’t just a panel — it was a movement powered by purpose. As a women-led agency, we believe deeply in women supporting women — not just in words, but through action, visibility, and access,” said Pankhuri Harikrishnan, Founder and CEO of Fetch India.
Since 2018, Fetch Consulting has been a consistent presence at the Cannes Film Festival, From elevating red carpet moments to curating meaningful conversations, the agency has consistently used its communication strategies to spotlight women — not just to be included, but to be centered and championed.
