In an industry often boxed in by tradition and complexity, one woman dared to dream differently. Manminder Kaur Dhillon is not just a name—she’s a revolution in Public Relations. From a humble start as a Biology teacher to becoming an award-winning PR practitioner, successful entrepreneur, author, media trainer, and founder of Asia’s first digital PR web app—Supernewsroom—her journey reads like a masterclass in courage, innovation, and purpose.
Today, she leads Intelectasia, one of Malaysia’s top PR agencies, and is celebrated as a visionary who has democratized Public Relations for everyone—from large enterprises to emerging startups.
From Classrooms to Newsrooms: A Leap of Faith
Manminder’s story is rooted in courage. Raised in Malaysia with a keen interest in media and communication, she initially pursued a career in education. Teaching Biology might have paid the bills, but her heart beat for journalism and media innovation. Listening to that inner voice, she made the bold decision to leave behind the security of her job and chase a new dream.
Determined to break into the world of media, Manminder enrolled in a Master’s program in Corporate Communication. That academic pursuit became her bridge into the journalism industry, eventually leading to her first big break with Astro Awani, one of Malaysia’s leading television channels. It was here that the seeds of storytelling, technology, and connection were planted—eventually growing into her passion for transforming the PR industry.
A Kaur’s Spirit: Fearless, Focused, and Future-Driven
The ‘Kaur’ in her is more than a name—it’s a badge of resilience. It symbolizes a woman’s strength, especially in overcoming societal and professional challenges. For Manminder, every barrier became a stepping stone. She recognized that while traditional PR methods worked, they were time-consuming, expensive, and often out of reach for smaller businesses or solo professionals.
That realization sparked the genesis of Supernewsroom—a product born not just from business logic, but from lived experience and real industry gaps. The platform isn’t just another tech solution. It’s a bold answer to the industry’s most pressing question: Can PR be simplified without compromising results?
Supernewsroom: The PR World’s Game Changer

And it’s not just a first for Malaysia. Supernewsroom is believed to be the first digital PR web app in the world—a proud testament to Manminder’s innovative leadership and a true milestone for the industry.
