    Ekta Kapoor, the co-founder of Balaji Telefilms, earned her name in history by securing the 2023 International Emmy Directorate Award.

    Recognized for her outstanding contributions to South Asian entertainment, Kapoor's journey symbolizes excellence on traditional and OTT platforms.

    Under her leadership, Balaji Telefilms continues to dominate the television industry, reaffirming India's global standing in the realm of entertainment.

    Achiever 2

    Geetika Srivastava

    Geetika Srivastava made history in August 2023, as the first Indian woman appointed to head the office of the chargé d'affaires in the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, Pakistan.

    Her role as joint secretary (Indo-Pacific) in the external affairs industry until then showcased India's commitment to fostering diplomatic ties and marked a significant stride towards gender inclusivity in key diplomatic positions, setting a commendable precedent.

    Achiever 3

    Neeraj Chopra

    On August 28, 2023, Neeraj Chopra became the first Indian to clinch a gold medal in the World Athletics Championships, creating history with a remarkable throw of 88.17 meters. He also won his second gold at the 2022 Asian Games on October 4, 2023, with a season-best throw of 88.88 meters.

    His exceptional feat established him as an esteemed Indian sportsperson with two gold medals, underscoring India's prowess and resilience in the realm of global athletics.

    Achiever 4 

    Kartiki Gonsalves

    Kartiki Gonsalves created history at the 95th Academy Awards by being the first Indian woman filmmaker to win an Oscar for The Elephant Whisperers, a documentary capturing a heartwarming bond between a couple and a baby elephant.

    The film's global recognition elevates Gonsalves' stature and marks a momentous achievement for India on the international stage, shedding light on unique narratives and enriching the global cinematic landscape.

    Achiever 5

    Nikhat Zareen

    In March 2023, boxer Nikhat Zareen secured her second consecutive Women's Boxing World Championship in Delhi.

    Only the legendary Mary Kom has a total of six gold medals from the reputed Championship.

    Defeating Asian champion Nguyen Thi Tam from Vietnam, Zareen's triumph in the 50kg category underscores India's growing dominance in women's boxing, establishing her as a formidable force to be reckoned with on the global stage.

    Achiever 6

    Sunil Chhetri

    Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri made headlines in June 2023, by becoming the fourth-highest international goal-scorer, trailing close behind giants like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, when he scored a hat-trick against Pakistan in their SAFF Championship opener in Bengaluru.

    Chhetri's achievements in football contribute significantly to India's rising presence in the sport globally, showcasing not only his gifted skill and prowess but also his exemplary leadership on the international field.
