After being invited as a speaker for the second time, she shares, “It was such an honour for me and being a proud Indian, I think we understand what Harvard means! It is one of the most prestigious academic universities in the world. The last time I was here was during the pandemic… so I didn't have the entire experience of doing it at the Harvard campus but this time, I went to the Crimson; at the campus did it live with people so it was the most amazing journey.”
“As a proud Indian, building a global business and being a minority woman doing that globally is something extremely powerful. It’s truly our time as Indian women to be able to do that. Even my speech was truly about India being a superpower and how being a minority woman or an Indian woman, shouldn't be something you should see as a weakness but as strength”, she further adds as she explains on Indian entrepreneurs are shaping the new world order.

It’s not about me but it’s about us and our time. It is something that empowers many other women especially, Indian women on representation.”
