The panel discussion highlighted key themes, including the importance of risk-taking in business, the evolving landscape of women's education, the power of self-belief in overcoming marginalisation, and the need to challenge patriarchal societal norms. Panelists shared personal experiences, emphasizing resilience and determination.
