Sneha Saraf, PR & Communications Specialist - HP India says, "Winning the 30 Under 30 title in 2024 has been truly phenomenal. It has not only brought me industry recognition but also opened doors to valuable networking opportunities on LinkedIn. Additionally, it provided me with the chance to contribute an article, allowing me to share my insights and experiences from the industry."
Shashank Bharadwaj, founder, WebX, and 2024 winner says, "Last year, I had the incredible honor of being named in the 10th edition of the PRmoment India 30 Under 30. It wasn’t just a title; it was a moment of reflection, growth, and reaffirmation of my journey in PR and communications.
Here’s what I’ve learned: the application process seems challenging, like pitching to a new client. You need to show your work, results, and impact clearly. But it’s also a great exercise, and when you take that step, it’s so rewarding. Also, there is no money involved at any stage. Neither Paarul Chand nor anyone on behalf of her or PRmoment will reach out asking for payments guaranteeing the recognition."
