It inspires young leaders to act locally with a global mindset, focusing on sustainability, technology, and business growth. The success of Localpreneur Connect 2.0 was made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors like Shrikrupa Limited and LB’s Coffee.

Her emphasis on robust cyber hygiene and the integration of cybersecurity as a core business strategy highlighted the University’s commitment to thought leadership and national development.
