Yasmeen Jawaharali – Embrace Progress, Not Perfection

Founder – E Daddy Electric | edaddy.ae

Don’t wait for permission. Start before you’re ready. Never shrink to fit into a box that wasn’t built for you—build your own table, and bring other women along. Entrepreneurship isn’t about perfection—it’s about resilience, decision-making under pressure, and protecting your vision when others can’t see it yet.

Sandhya Panda – Believe, Seek Help, and Stay Flexible

Founder – Retrod

Believe in your vision—even when others don’t. Start with what you have. Build a support system, ask questions, and never hesitate to take space in underrepresented rooms. Stay curious, stay consistent, and own your journey unapologetically.

Vicki Summersby – Focus on Strengths and Trust Instincts

Founder – PBT Accountancy Ltd

Trust your instincts, even when surrounded by doubt. Learn your numbers early—cash flow, expenses, and financials matter as much as vision. Surround yourself with a community that supports and challenges you—you don’t have to do it all alone.

Merve Iscan – Belief, Learning, and Balance

Founder – Studio RUUM

Believe in your vision, even when no one else sees it. Build strong networks, keep learning, and embrace your unique perspective—it’s your superpower. Success doesn’t come overnight, but it comes when you stay true to yourself and enjoy the journey, even the messy parts.
