Sisterhood takes centre stage as It’s A Girl Thing (IAGT) Season 5 returns for a day of empowerment and fun

Kicking off International Women’s Week on March 1st, the award-winning festival It’s A Girl Thing (IAGT) makes its much-anticipated return to India for a fifth season. Produced by Branded, alongside ticketing partner District by Zomato and Insider.in with talent partner One Digital Entertainment, IAGT promises a celebration of sisterhood like no other in Mumbai. It brings together together music, comedy, dance, and conversations that empower, inspire, and connect young women. 

IAGT isn’t just a festival; it’s a movement that has reshaped entertainment with a purpose. Over the years, it has spotlighted the challenges girls and women face while sending an uplifting message – women are bold, courageous, and phenomenal.

A Power-Packed Lineup of Inspirational Women

This season brings an incredible line-up of fan-favourite international and Indian creators, influencers, advocates, and celebrities across industries. This includes YouTuber Anisha Dixit, American singer-songwriter Lisa Mishra, storyteller and poet Priya Malik, musician and songwriter Mali (Maalavika Manoj), singer Simran Choudhury and poet, artist, and performer Vanika Sangtani, amongst many other women who have redefined success in their respective fields, carving out a niche for themselves that inspire and empowering others to follow suit.

From engaging panel discussions to candid conversations, these speakers will share their journeys and insights. They will dive into topics that matter most to young women – breaking society barriers, mental health, self-love, relationships, adulting, as well as arts, music, environment, sports, careers and more – in a positive, safe space. 

Beyond the Stage: Immersive Experiences and Community Building

Attendees can  enjoy live performances, stand-up acts, workshops, interviews, meet and greets, and more that spark creativity and connection. Whether you’re looking to laugh, learn or just soak in the vibes, IAGT has something for everyone. This is where women can develop a strong sense of self and exchange experiences through entertainment and community.

Beyond the stage, attendees can experience interactive zones, delicious food and a curated flea market with women-led businesses.

Building a Stronger Future for Women in India

Emma Fung, Branded COO & Executive Producer of It’s A Girl Thing, said, “It’s A Girl Thing was launched by Branded in Singapore in 2016 to create a festival that celebrated young women. The aim was to empower and engage by opening up the conversation about what it truly means to be a girl in a world where young women are constantly told how they should look, be and act. IAGT looks at the world through the eyes of young women and provides a safe space to dream and be inspired to go beyond stereotypes and cultural norms to be the best, most fulfilled versions of themselves.”

With International women’s week around the corner, we wanted to make It’s A Girl Thing a day of inspiration, connection and good vibes where women of all ages can feel connected and celebrated. We’re thrilled to be a part of it with a team of amazing women working on this behind the scenes and we’re looking forward to growing this into something that continues to make an impact.”
