Hi Umair Naeem

I got this to work by doing the following:

$peopleArr = @()
$peopleArr += "ben@mytenant.onmicrosoft.com"
$peopleArr += "chris@mytenant.onmicrosoft.com"

Set-SPOListItem -List "testlist" -Identity 1 -Values @{"People"=$peopleArr}

I've now updated my blog post about this to include multi people columns:

You can try

Set-SPOListItem -List $bidDetailsList -Web $web -Values @{$key=$value} -Identity $itemCheck.Id

$value=@("David Longmuir","Conf Room Stevens")
