The term 'The Transformers' is a particularly fitting description for the 14 fabulous women we have chosen to feature in our Women to Watch Out For series. From publisher Chiki Sarkar to archer Deepika Kumari. From literary agent Shruti Debi to sarpanch Chhavi Rajawat. From designer Aneeth Arora to journalist Mallika Kapur. These are just some of the names of the extraordinary women we introduce to you in the new year. Names that are propelling us into a brave, new world. WHERE TALENT AND INTEGRITY ARE THE NORM.

But I must add that the cover line should have read '15 fabulous women' to include you: The ELLE reader. Your honesty and intelligence are the greatest driving force behind our magazine.
