It was in last November that BBC had come up with a list of 100 inspirational and innovative women across the world.  And Nitya Thummalachetty, a woman of Telugu origin, made it to the list.

Pawan Kalyan is proud of the achievement for a reason.  "Proud that @nityanjali is the first Telugu woman to have been listed in @BBC100women 2017 as an influential woman and global innovator. Her commitment to #genderequity and #diversity demonstrates the power and reach of younger women’s voices," he tweeted out on Thursday morning.

Nitya is a Healthcare entrepreneur, a diversity & inclusion advisor, a classical dance enthusiast and has been associated with several global initiatives in the field of healthcare.
