Bhavna has an exceptional stage presence. We met during an extensive Bootcamp where most of the participants end up with exhaustion, however, Bhavna’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Her futuristic approach, her vast knowledge on the subject and command over communication skills make her one of the most influential women in her industry. It has been a privilege knowing her.
