The event, organised in honour of International Women’s Day, was not just a social gathering but a strategic initiative to foster professional growth. Baqai underscored the importance of collaboration over competition, stating, “This is not an era of rivalry but an era of working together. The more we collaborate, the stronger and more sustainable our collective progress becomes.”
