Women Of Music India Wraps PWR Pose 2.0, Uniting 120 Creators In Mumbai

Women of Music India (WoMI) wrapped up the second edition of its flagship initiative, PWR Pose, in Mumbai, bringing together more than 120 creators, young artists, educators, and industry professionals for one of the year’s most purpose-led community gatherings in India’s creative ecosystem.

Held at Shutterbox, Excel Entertainment’s state-of-the-art visual production space, PWR Pose 2.0 expanded on WoMI’s mission to build identity, confidence, and visibility for women across the music industry. This year’s edition also focused on widening participation, opening its doors to young talent and educators from underserved communities.

At the heart of the experience was WoMI’s emphasis on expression, representation, and access. Participants received professional headshots shot by noted photographer Aniruddh Kothari and his team, accompanied by styling and grooming by Komal Sahijwani’s HMUA crew. The environment was intentionally designed to allow emerging artists, executives, and young creatives to present their most confident, authentic selves.

One of the standout elements of PWR Pose 2.0 was WoMI’s collaboration with The Dharavi Dream Project (TDDP). Their performances and on-ground community activations added depth, cultural resonance, and purpose to the evening,turning the event into a real-time demonstration of inclusive, community-first programming.

The edition also welcomed teachers from The Sound Space, further expanding the initiative’s reach. By bringing not only young performers but also the educators shaping their journeys into industry environments, WoMI reinforced its commitment to holistic, multi-layered inclusivity.

Across the evening, curated portrait sessions, backstage interactions, informal mentoring, and community-driven storytelling created a warm, intentional space where participants connected with ease. The gathering moved beyond traditional networking, nurturing conversations rooted in support, visibility, and shared purpose.

What started as a headshot-focused initiative has evolved into a cultural movement. PWR Pose 2.0 highlighted how cross-community collaboration—between grassroots organisations, educators, young talent, and industry experts,can reshape the boundaries of representation and access in the creative sector.

Reflecting on the edition’s impact, Priyanka Khimani, Founder of 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.”
