WoMI’s second edition of PWR Pose in Mumbai, redefining community, access, and cultural representation in Indian music 

Mumbai, 2^nd December 2025: Women of Music India (WoMI), the not-for-profit initiative founded by media advisor and entrepreneur Priyanka Khimani, successfully concluded the second edition of PWR Pose in Mumbai. An experience that drew more than 120 creators, young and upcoming talent, executives, educators, and industry leaders, marking one of the most purpose-driven gatherings in India’s creative landscape. 

Hosted at Shutterbox, Excel Entertainment’s premier visual production space, PWR Pose 2.0 delivered on its core promise: an identity- and confidence-building experience designed for women who power the music ecosystem, while widening its reach to include young talent and educators from underserved communities. 

At the centre of the experience was WoMI’s commitment to visibility, expression, and access. Participants received professional headshots captured by ace photographer Aniruddh Kothari and his team, complemented by glam and styling led by Komal Sahijwani and her HMUA team, creating an environment where emerging artists, executives, and young creatives could show up as their most confident, authentic selves. 

A defining highlight of this edition was WoMI’s collaboration with The Dharavi Dream Project (TDDP). Their performances and community activations infused the evening with authenticity, purpose, and cultural depth, transforming the gathering into a living statement on what inclusive, community-first programming can achieve. 

This year, WoMI also proudly hosted teachers from The Sound Space, further advancing the event’s inclusivity. By welcoming not only young talent but also the educators shaping them, PWR Pose broadened its cultural and social footprint, celebrating those who nurture the next generation of creators. 

Throughout the evening, curated photography, backstage conversations, mentoring touchpoints, and community-led storytelling created a space where creators connected with ease and intention. It was less about networking and more about genuine exchange. 

What began as a professional headshot initiative evolved into a cultural movement. The integration of community groups, educators, young performers, and industry allies reimagined what representation can look like in practice. PWR Pose 2.0 stood as a testament to WoMI’s mission: to open doors wider, strengthen pathways for women and young talent, and build a future where visibility, confidence, and opportunity are accessible to all. 

Commenting on the impact of the edition, Priyanka Khimani, Founder, WoMI, said: “This year, PWR Pose became bigger in meaning, and not just scale. By collaborating with grassroots organisations and bringing upcoming talent and educators into industry spaces, we are reshaping what access can, and should, look like. These are voices that deserve to be seen, heard, and supported as they step into creative careers.”

PWR Pose 2.0 not only reaffirmed WoMI’s role as a catalyst for representation and opportunity, but demonstrated the power of thoughtful curation, intentional partnerships, and community-centred design. It leaves behind a cultural imprint, a reminder that when visibility meets belonging, entire futures shift.
