Vogue India’s November WOTY Special three individual Covers featuring Nidhi Sunil, Neeraj Chopra and Sirisha Bandla spotlights these Indians who made us proud this year,

In the issue, Neeraj Chopra has mentioned how this year, a quick throw transformed this village boy from obscurity into a phenomenon. But stardom falls lightly on his brawny shoulders—the javelin star’s real victory is in seizing his Olympics win to turn his little-known sport into a focus for India.

Nidhi Sunil speaks on defying stereotypes while amplifying inclusivity. The model, activist, and all-round outspoken citizen of the world is turning the fashion world upside down. As her career shifts into overdrive, the new face of change shares her navigation manual.

Sirisha Bandla, the India-born aeronautical engineer talks about the skewed gender composition of women in science not just in India, but around the world, and trickles down further in workplaces built around technical fields like science and math, where women remain underrepresented.
