“A week for a competition sounded too much of a commitment at first but when the days passed by with each being a learning platform and a step closer to our business venture, I realized that was the best and the most informative week I’ve had in a long time. Bizfest to me wasn’t just about winning but the people I’ve met and the network I got to establish. Looking forward to more such events in the future.” – Garima Shrestha, Team Tuki
