Speaking on her appointment, Gaikwad said to BW Applause and Everything Experiential, “My appointment as a chairperson is both honour and privilege, it is a huge responsibility that I am going to take very seriously.” We get an opportunity to serve the industry that has given us so much,” she added. 

Apart from Sushma Gaikwad as chairperson, the committee has three members, Manika Garg, Chetan Vohra and Sapna Subramanium. They were joined by Brian Tellis and Sanjoy Roy who are on the panel as advisors.
