Reflecting on her experience, Dhulipala shares, “Being an Indian publicist in the American entertainment industry feels like a lonely voyage but a proud one too.” Despite the challenges and the lure of more tech-focused careers, she fearlessly pursued her goal of embedding into the Hollywood entertainment industry. The award was presented to Dhulipala by the esteemed Kathak dancer Alaknanda Das, an inspiration and an Art Motivator in her own right.

Dhulipala’s remarkable career transition from India to the USA and her strategic work on blockbuster movies have placed her among a distinguished group of inspirational women from various fields, including art, entertainment, business, healthcare, and therapy. “I am immensely honored and grateful to be recognized by IIWA 2023,” says Dhulipala. “ This award represents my personal journey and serves as a testament to the power of determination and hard work. It is truly humbling to be acknowledged alongside such accomplished women.

I hope to continue breaking barriers and growing in the world of PR and entertainment and inspiring the next generation of women to build their own paths.” IIWA 2023 stands as a testament to the extraordinary achievements of women leaders like Sruthi Dhulipala, who continue to inspire and pave the way for future generations of trailblazers.
