in New Delhi on 26 December 2017
It is with great pleasure that Penguin Random House India announces that the 2017 Penguin Annual Lecture will be delivered in
New Delhi on 26 December by
one of the most iconic and popular Indians in the world today, global
entertainment personality, game changer and Unicef ambassador Priyanka
Chopra.
One
of the leading superstars of the Indian film industry, Priyanka Chopra
has had a meteoric rise on the global stage with her hit TV show Quantico.
She won the People’s Choice Award for two consecutive years, and was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world and one of Harper Bazaar’s 58 women game changers of the modern era. She is also on LinkedIn’s power profile
list for 2017.
Priyanka
Chopra is an icon for today’s young Indians who identify with her
drive, passion, intelligence and charisma. She has been a social media
trendsetter and has a
massive fan base across the globe. Much loved and admired as an artiste
by people in India and around the world, she is also recognized as a
global Indian — a woman who has broken the glass ceiling to reach the
highest echelons of international stardom — and
for her philanthropic work as Unicef’s global goodwill ambassador.
One of the most prestigious and eagerly awaited cultural events on the calendar, the Penguin
Annual Lecture, hosted by Penguin Random House India, was started in
2007 as an initiative to bring leading writers, artists, thinkers and
key personalities from India and across the world in direct contact with
audiences and admirers in India. The first such
event to be organized by a publishing house in India, the Penguin
Annual Lecture is immensely popular with readers, book lovers, and the
youth in particular. This will be the eleventh edition of the Penguin
Annual. Lecture; over the past ten years, speakers
have included thought leaders like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dr APJ
Abdul Kalam, Professor Amartya Sen, Thomas Friedman, Amitabh Bachchan,
Ramachandra Guha, and beloved authors from both India and abroad like
Dan Brown, Jeff Kinney and Ruskin Bond.
Through
the Penguin Annual Lecture, Penguin Random House India aims to spread
the thrill of fresh ideas to a new generation of readers, thinkers
and future achievers.
The Penguin Annual Lecture will be held in New Delhi on 26 December and will be telecast and webcast live. More
details of the Lecture will follow soon.
