Twinkle Khanna: Tweak India

Twinkle Khanna first became widely known as an actress in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but she eventually stepped away from films to pursue writing and entrepreneurship. That transition led to a second career as a bestselling author and media entrepreneur.

In 2019, she founded Tweak India, a digital media company created for the modern Indian woman, and launched its YouTube channel the same year. The platform has since developed into a destination for interviews, lifestyle content, wellness discussions, and conversations around contemporary women's lives.

One of its key formats is The Icons, where Twinkle interviews personalities ranging from actors and journalists to chefs and entrepreneurs. Her interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai stands out as the channel's biggest success, crossing 3.6 million views. The conversation demonstrated Twinkle's ability to make discussions with high-profile personalities accessible, informal, and entertaining.
