She Queens Over The Web
Digital influencer, TV host, entrepreneur, best-selling author and avid blogger, Malini Agarwal, Founder of MissMalini.com, is all of these rolled into one. She has already created a unique space for herself in the Indian community. As one of India’s best known bloggers, Agarwal is somewhat of a thought-leader.
Once a disc jockey on Mumbai’s Radio One and Head of Digital Content for Channel V India, Agarwal found success with her blog, MissMalini.com in 2008. The blog dwells on gossip and current events in Bollywood, Indian television, fashion, beauty and lifestyle. Agarwal has guest anchored in several TV shows, like CNN-IBN’s Tech Toyz, UTV Bindass’s Style Police and her own show, ‘MissMalini’s World’ on TLC, which she anchored for two seasons, along with Inside Access with MissMalini on VH1. Her blog is featured regularly in leading fashion and lifestyle publications in both the digital and print space.
“My journey has been an incredible adventure,” says Agarwal, adding, “My life feels extraordinary and I hope to inspire and empower the next generation of creators, entrepreneurs and dreamers — women who will one day teach the world all the empathy and kindness we need to rid it of war and jealousy.”
MissMalini Media has, across 15 years, been a leading new media network which generates high-value, multi-platform content for India’s Internet generation. She has even written a best-selling book called To the Moon: How I Blogged My Way to Bollywood, narrating her journey.
A graduate in English Literature from Delhi University, Agarwal has redefined entertainment journalism and has been widely endorsed by stalwarts in the entertainment industry. With her bubbly personality, Agarwal has made inroads into the social circuit of the entertainment industry.
“Frankly today I don’t think it’s about breaking the glass ceiling at all. My journey was never fraught with any major limitations or frustration due to my gender,” says Agarwal. “I think as women, our real challenge and responsibility today is to uplift each other and find joy and pride in the success of other women.”
