At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, a powerful conversation unfolded at the India Pavilion,  one that celebrated the force of women driving India’s global cultural narrative.

Titled ‘Voices of Influence: Craft, Creativity & Cultural Presence’, the panel brought together trailblazing women from across industries to reflect on identity, innovation, and leadership, according to a media statement put out by the hosts of this sponsored event.

Moderated by writer and filmmaker Saraswathi Buyyala, the recent discussion featured a stellar lineup of women who are challenging conventions and redefining influence.

The women thought-leaders included Kanika Tekriwal, aviation entrepreneur and founder of JetSetGo; Devangi Parekh, MD of couture company Aza and founder of Araiya by Aza and Sakshi Sindwani, digital creator and body positivity advocate.

“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, the curator of the event.

Since 2018, Fetch Consulting has been consistently present at the Cannes Film Festival using its communication strategies to spotlight women  — not just to be included, but to be centered and championed
