Her presentation covered trials and tribulations faced by women in business and how to overcome them. Keranjeet commented “This was a great opportunity to present myself as a case study for women out there aspiring to get into business. I faced many difficulties that women generally face in developing my business and wanted to show an example of how to overcome them.”
