66 years. That’s how long Femina has been documenting life in India! Every anniversary is a reminder that this magazine is more than pages bound together. It is a living archive of ambition, hopes, dreams, desires, and despair, too.
This anniversary, like every year, we bring you the Femina Fab List 2025 with stories of remarkable women. Inventive, restless, emotionally intelligent, compassionate, courageous, and uncompromisingly future-facing, they have shaped conversations this year across the country.
We have a special person on the cover – the architect of a landmark moment in women’s sports leading a team that gave the country one of the greatest gifts imaginable – a World Cup victory. The leader, none other than the captain Harmanpreet Kaur, lets us in on her remarkable journey to sporting gold.
Stalwarts such as our Honourable President Droupadi Murmuji, philanthropist Nita Ambani, entrepreneur Isha Ambani, chess prodigy Divya Deshmukh, para-athletes such as Bhavina Patel and Sheetal Devi, iconic champions such as Mirabai Chanu, and young forces such as Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi, Linthoi Chanambam, are all in here and many more!

DR NAYANA SIVARAJ

In a world chasing quick-fix beauty, Dr Nayana Sivaraj chose a quieter, truer path rooted in wisdom, science and purpose. As an Ayurvedic physician, she found her calling in healing people and revitalising the essence of the skincare industry. Her clinical experiences opened her eyes to a disheartening truth that most 'natural' skincare products were far from natural. Refusing to compromise, she began her own research, blending ancient Ayurvedic knowledge with advanced organic innovation. The quest gave birth to Vanaura Organics, a brand built on integrity and global compliance.
