I must say that I am humbled, honored, and at the same time excited to be in your midst to receive the award of Asia?s Young Women Entrepreneur Award 2020/21 . I am earnestly grateful for the recognition I have received for my work.
On my way here, I have faced several challenges but each one of them has only strengthened me to make me the person I am today; a professional who knows exactly what she wants; someone who sets her eyes on a goal and does not lose sight of it, unless it is achieved. Winning this award would not have been possible without the inspiration I have received from my parents and my colleagues, for whom I have the deepest respect, and from whom I have derived the strength to challenge myself and perform better at each stage.
I sincerely thank everyone for helping me reach a stage where I can proudly hold up this award as a mark of my achievement. I also promise to only get better at my work so that you can see me here for more such awards.
Thank you!
