Priyanka Chopra took part in a fireside chat with many renowned figures at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos. The actress spoke about creating a kind of progress one wants to see and why 'philanthropy' is important to solve the world's most challenging problems. Giving a powerful example of how India successfully eradicated poverty with the help of 200 million people, she stressed on creating a 'population', people want to invest in.

Talking about why she wants to be part of the change, Priyanka said, “I want my kids to grow up in a world where the world leaders have listened to Greta’s (Thunberg) generation, where the climate crisis is contained if not averted, where a woman’s ability to succeed is a basic human right and not based on geography and chance.”

She also shared a happy picture of herself having a hearty laugh with Dr. Ngozi at the meet. Introducing Dr. Ngozi to her fans, she wrote in the caption, “Dr. Ngozi on behalf of Gavi has vaccinated 86% of the world’s children and has saved over 13 million lives since 2000".
