Vivek Raina, Founder & CEO of Excitel shared his experience in building a 2000-crore startup and the importance of resource utilization involving people, wealth, and internet. Dr. Ruha Shadab, Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Co. and founder of Led By Foundation, interacted with the audience on consulting, leadership, and social impact.
