Wonder Women 2022: Honouring the top 100 achievers
Mumbai: Continuing its annual tradition of recognising and honouring remarkable women leaders, entrepreneurs and change-makers for their outstanding contributions in the arena of media, entertainment and marketing industries, IndianTelevision.com pulled back the curtain to reveal the list of 100 Wonder Women Award winners. The names of the winners were announced virtually at the Wonder Women 2022 event held on Friday, ahead of International Women’s Day 2022.
While women account for about half of India’s population, they represent less than one-third of the workforce- the lowest among the major economies- as per a 2019 government report. The pandemic only made the situation worse. Awareness is important, but even more so is action. Companies, teams, and peers must continually choose to challenge workplace bias, advocate for inclusion, and ultimately effect lasting change at work.
While a lot needs to be done on the ground level to narrow the gap and foster a gender-neutral workforce, the Wonder Women 100 aims to empower and inspire women by honouring professionals who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers in the business & creative arts, overcoming challenges. The goal is to elevate the role models who can motivate and mentor the next generation of aspiring women.
The event also saw panel discussions on relevant topics that play a critical role in driving this change. By creating spaces that elevate, amplify, and empower women and non-binary voices, these sessions aim to inspire attendees, offering hope for a future of true gender equity.
The power list of the 100 top achievers has been compiled with the aid of an esteemed jury comprising the editorial heads from IndianTelevision Group.
Here are the names of this year’s standout winners.

Nikita Kandhari expands role at Prime Video India
Senior leader now heads content marketing for hindi slate while retaining principal position.
MUMBAI: Nikita Kandhari just levelled up her Prime Video game because when you’re already scripting hits, the next move is to own the whole Hindi storyline. Nikita Kandhari has taken on an expanded leadership role at Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios, now heading content marketing for the Hindi slate covering original series, movies, and licensed titles while continuing as principal for content marketing.
Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Kandhari wrote, “I’m excited to share that I’m stepping into an expanded role, leading content marketing for the Hindi slate… The past year has been an intense period of learning across building new IPs, shaping campaigns, and working more closely than ever with cross-functional teams. I’m grateful for the trust, mentorship, and collaboration that made that growth possible.”
In her broader mandate, Kandhari will shape integrated, audience-first marketing strategies for Prime Video’s growing Hindi content portfolio, aiming to deepen engagement with India’s booming streaming viewers through thoughtful, culturally attuned campaigns.
Kandhari brings nearly two decades of experience across media, FMCG, and advertising. Before Amazon, she held key roles at Netflix, Hotstar, Unilever, Ogilvy & Mather, and began her career in 2008 as a Research Analyst at The Nielsen Company. She holds an MBA in Marketing and Strategy/Leadership from the Indian School of Business.
Her expanded remit arrives as Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios continue to scale their Hindi originals and licensed offerings in one of the world’s most competitive and fast-growing streaming markets. For a platform betting big on regional storytelling, placing someone with Kandhari’s blend of strategic depth, creative campaign experience, and cross-industry insight at the helm feels like the perfect plot twist to keep viewers hooked.
