Jack of all trades and also, the master of all! Priyanka Chopra’s name was already everywhere – in Bollywood, in Hollywood, in award shows, in talk shows and in Nick Jonas’ heart. And now you can brace yourself because the actress has become a part of the tech industry as well.
Priyanka Chopra is investing in the dating app ‘Bumble’ that is planning to expand in India later this year. She will also be an advisor to the women-friendly dating app. Bumble has revealed that Priyanka Chopra will be the ‘partner, advisor and investor’ for the tech firm.
Talking about it, Priyanka said in a statement, “I’ve always believed that investing in women is key to social transformation and economic growth.” She further added, “Women want love, they want friendship and they want to find a career and that’s the uniqueness of what Bumble delivers.”
Priyanka’s Manager, Anjula Acharia is also an advisor to the company. Recently, Priyanka also invested in US Coding School and joined the Board of Trustees at Holberton School. Her purpose is to attract more women to software engineering.
We love PeeCee moto of bringing women forward and making them stronger. While Priyanka has impressed everyone including us with her work in the past few years, she is not the first female celeb to impress us with her business acumen. Many female celebrities from Hollywood and Bollywood have already paved their way into businesses and how!
It is known that Beyonce and Tyra Banks have backed tech ventures. Hollywood celebs like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore and Miranda Kerr chose to expand their work and worth via beauty industry, while Bollywood beauties like Shraddha Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut seem to be more interested in the world of fashion.
Here are a few of our favourite brands from our favourite filmy girls!
