Duggall acknowledges the pivotal role of influential women in shaping his life and career. "For me, it starts from my mother, who is and will always be my first teacher, my inspiration," he reflects. "My Massi, who loves to celebrate and enjoy life, my Nani, and Chaiji, who were both very bold, honorable women and for me were the forms of Shakti." He also credits his school teachers, mentioning Mrs. Nag, Meeta Ma'am, Puri Ma'am, and Uma Ma'am, for their significant influence.

Post-college, he highlights the impact of Ms. Rashmi Virmani and Mrs. Sonia Swami, whom he admires deeply for their contributions and inspiration.
