As Femina turns 64 this year, we garland our annual anniversary issue with the gravitas it deserves. We have housed our Fab 40 list for the year. We call it a list, but it’s not ranked. Crowned by our very own President, to scientists from ISRO, the country’s top actors (who have also turned entrepreneurs very successfully), industry leaders and top content creators. On the cover, we have put the focus on the women of the sun and the moon. Nigar Shaji, the project Director of Aditya L1, and Kalpana Kalahasti, Associaite Projhect Director, Chandrayaan-3, who are pioneering some of the ambitious projects at ISRO, along with their team.
