Pinky Lilani, who was awarded a CBE in 2015 for services to women in business, is the founder of the annual Asian Women of Achievement Awards and the Women of the Future Awards. She also runs her own company, which uses Indian food as a means of team-building, and has published two cook books.

Pinky was born in Calcutta, now Kolkata, where her parents were affluent and very sociable. They employed one of the best cooks in the city, so Pinky grew up surrounded by people and food. While she enjoyed eating, she had no experience of cooking. When she moved to London with her husband, who she married three weeks after their first meeting, she was unable to cook. After many culinary disasters, she returned to India and the kitchen in her family home, where the household cook shared his expertise.

Back in the UK, she started teaching evening cookery classes which in turn led to a role consulting for one of Britain's best-known food companies, who manufacture Asian staples including chutneys, breads and curry pastes.

In 2001, she published her first cookery book and set up in business to satisfy the two great loves of her life: food and people. In 1999, she founded the Asian Women of Achievement Awards and seven years later she added the Women of the Future Awards to her portfolio. Both of these have continued to be held annually, drawing high-profile support from, among others, Theresa May, Cherie Blair, the Duchess of York and the Countess of Wessex.



Pinky Lilani在2015年被授予CBE勋章，以表彰她对女性商业的服务，她是年度亚洲女性成就奖和未来女性奖的创始人。她还经营着自己的公司，将印度食品作为团队建设的一种手段，并出版了两本烹饪书。

平奇出生在加尔各答，即现在的加尔各答，她的父母很富裕，非常善于交际。他们雇用了该市最好的厨师之一，因此平奇在人们和食物的包围中长大。虽然她喜欢吃，但她没有做饭的经验。当她和她的丈夫搬到伦敦时，在他们第一次见面的三个星期后，她就嫁给了丈夫，她无法做饭。在经历了许多烹饪灾难之后，她回到了印度，回到了她家的厨房，在那里，家庭厨师分享他的专业知识。

回到英国后，她开始教授晚间烹饪课程，这又导致她为英国最知名的食品公司之一提供咨询，该公司生产亚洲主食，包括酸辣酱、面包和咖喱酱。

2001年，她出版了她的第一本烹饪书，并开始做生意，以满足她生命中的两个最爱：食物和人。1999年，她创立了 "亚洲女性成就奖"，七年后，她又增加了 "未来女性奖"。这两个奖项每年持续举办，吸引了特雷莎-梅、切丽-布莱尔、约克公爵夫人和威塞克斯伯爵夫人等人的高调支持。
