Women Today: Innovators and Agents of the Future

I was happy to take part in an international women’s event on November 12, 2019 dubbed as Women Today: Innovators and Agents of the Future. It was a whole day event jampacked with important discussions about women - where we are today, our challenges, triumphs, our contribution to society and our strides in narrowing the gender gap when it comes to pay, roles played in society, and many more.
