After turning singer and more recently, announcing a book, Priyanka Chopra is all set to don a new hat. The star has just announced that she’s now a tech investor… and we certainly didn’t see that coming.
Our homegirl will invest in Bumble, a dating app founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd where women users initiate communication with matched male users. Often dubbed as ‘the feminist Tinder’, Bumble will be making inroads to India soon (single ladies tired of receiving unsolicited di*k pics on dating apps, rejoice). Priyanka will also invest in Holberton School, a coding education start-up whose mission is to educate people from underprivileged backgrounds. She was introduced to the world of tech investing by her manager, Anjula Acharia, who also doubles up as an angel investor.

In an interview with The New York Times, the Quantico star said her focus would be skewed heavily towards companies founded by women, and companies with an element of social impact. This ties in perfectly with what Priyanka has stood up for, time and again. She has been a Unicef advocate for children since 2006, focussing mostly on developing nations. She recently visited Bangladesh to draw attention to the plight of the Rohingya refugees, spending time with kids at the refugee camps.
She also took fiancé Nick Jonas to Mumbai’s St. Catherine’s orphanage after their roka ceremony in August. Priyanka has been visiting the orphanage for 12 years now and the duo delighted the children by taking turns to sing and dance.
