Dhwani Mittal, a dynamic anchor, corporate presenter, and global host, has carved a niche for herself with her engaging presence and storytelling prowess. As she gears up to be part of the prestigious 11th edition of Entertainers Connect, Dhwani shares insights into her journey, the evolving entertainment landscape, and exciting ventures on her horizon. Here’s an exclusive glimpse into her thoughts ahead of the Wow Awards Asia 2025.
1. What does being a part of the 11th edition of Entertainers Connect mean to you? How do you envision this platform leveling up your work and amplifying your presence in the industry?
Being part of the 11th edition of Entertainers Connect is truly an honour. It’s not just a platform—it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and growth. I see it as an incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded talents, expand my network, and showcase my journey to a wider audience. It’s a powerful push forward that can open doors to new projects and partnerships.
2. What inspired you to choose this path as your profession? Now that you’ve gained experience in the industry, what positive changes or shifts have you observed over time?
I was always drawn to storytelling and the ability to evoke emotion, whether through performance, music, or visual art. That passion gradually turned into a profession. Over time, I’ve witnessed a beautiful shift toward inclusivity and authenticity—more diverse voices are being celebrated, and there’s space now for unique, raw narratives that once went unheard.
3. The entertainment industry is constantly evolving. How do you stay relevant and continue to innovate in such a dynamic space?
I stay curious. I make it a point to keep learning—whether it’s understanding new platforms, embracing technology, or collaborating with fresh talent. I believe innovation often comes from listening and observing what resonates with people and then finding a way to bring my own voice to that space in a fresh, engaging way.
4. Looking ahead, what’s next for you? Are there any specific projects, formats, or collaborations you’re excited to explore?
Yes, I’m currently exploring a few cross-genre collaborations that bring together performance, digital content, and live interaction. I’m also interested in experimenting with immersive storytelling formats, including short-form series and experiential events that blend art and technology.
“Over the years, hosting events has not only honed my communication and public speaking skills, but it’s also sparked a deeper interest in coaching, motivational speaking, and corporate training. Engaging with diverse audiences and managing the energy of a room made me realize how much I enjoy inspiring and empowering others. That’s what led me to start exploring opportunities in corporate training and personal development—helping individuals and teams grow, just as I’ve grown through my own journey.”
5. Every performer has their secrets. What’s your go-to technique for winning over a tough crowd? Do you have a mantra or phrase that motivates you before stepping into the spotlight?
Connection is key. I try to read the energy of the room and adjust with honesty and confidence. My go-to mantra is: “You’ve earned your place—now own it.” It grounds me and reminds me that the audience wants to connect, not judge.
6. What advice would you give to emerging artists who aspire to make a mark in the entertainment world?
Stay true to your voice, even when the noise around you gets loud. Consistency, humility, and an open mind are your best tools. Also, surround yourself with people who believe in your vision, and don’t be afraid to start small. Every stage, every moment counts.
