Six years ago, I had the privilege to sit on the 🎤 Enterprise Panel for The University of Salford during their 📚 first-ever Enterprise Week, as I represented my Manchester Bollywood Guinness World Record Breaking company, Ri Ri’s Dance Academy. It was a truly remarkable experience, one that stands out in my journey as an advocate for innovation and entrepreneurship.  

The event was electric ⚡ with energy, passion ❤️, and curiosity 🤔. Students came prepared with thoughtful questions, demonstrating genuine interest in the world of enterprise and innovation 💡. As I engaged in lively discussions 🗨️, I was struck by their enthusiasm and readiness to explore new ideas 🚀.  

Sitting on that panel felt like being part of something bigger 🌍—a historic milestone for Salford and a celebration of entrepreneurship 🎉. The conversations we had were not just about business; they were about vision 👀, creativity 🎨, and the courage to embrace possibilities 🌟. It was a reminder of how much we can achieve when we nurture curiosity and the spirit of innovation.  

As I reflect 🤔 on that moment, I feel immensely grateful 🙏 for the opportunity to connect with these future leaders 🌟. Their energy inspired me then, and it continues to inspire me today as I strive to encourage innovation in everything I do 💼.  

Looking back, the experience is a testament to the power of collaboration 🤝, knowledge-sharing 📖, and mutual growth 🌱. I hope the students I engaged with then are out there changing the world 🌎, just as they aspired to do.  

💡 Moments like these remind us of the importance of creating spaces for dialogue 🗣️ and exchange—spaces that empower the next generation to push boundaries 📈 and achieve their dreams ✨.  

Lots of love,
