We are taught the importance of ‘sharing’ as young children, but the older we grow, the more the concept is lost on us. And soon there comes a point, where we become quite averse to the idea, content instead in keeping our ideas, successes – and even failures – to ourselves. Little do we realize that giving vent to our thoughts amidst a receptive audience is a means to initiate a conversation that ultimately enlightens and enriches us, making us better versions of ourselves – whether as professionals or on the personal front. Proving this theory true was the Women in Design 2020+ International Conference, held from January 8-10 at the Nehru Centre, Mumbai.
