Barely Opinionated Show: An Evening of Powerful Women Making a Difference

On December 13th, The Hub in Bengaluru was the stage for an event that was nothing short of inspiring. One woman who's a dynamo in the education sector, managing over 4 schools and shaping the lives of over 4500 students, and another who's a star in the business world, landing a whopping 1 crore deal on Shark Tank India.

That's Aisshwarya DKS Hegde and Yeshodha Karuturi for you – women who’ve made this world theirs!

Coming to our first boss lady - let’s talk about Aisshwarya. Leading four schools, she’s a true game changer in the education sector and a part of India's entrepreneur 30 under 30. But wait, there’s more! A champion for women empowerment with Chillosophy and her teacher training initiative - “I learn as I lead”.

Up next, we met Yeshodha Karuturi, the co-founder of Hoovu Fresh. She and her sister are shaking things up in the floral industry with a brilliant idea that keeps Pooja flowers fresh 3-4 times past their shelf life. Shipping over a million flowers annually, she’s turned Hoovu into the go-to brand for Pooja flowers across India. And let's not forget her epic moment on Shark Tank India – striking a deal that changed her life and the floral industry in India!

Before we delve deeper into the evening, let’s shine a spotlight on Rohit Agarwala and Barely Opinionated. Launched in October 2020, Barely Opinionated has become more than a media platform; it's a movement reshaping the engagement of today's youth with political and social issues. It's a platform where diverse opinions are not just heard but welcomed, making complex topics clear and accessible.

Barely Opinionated, co-founded by Azaan Sait – who also founded The Hub Bengaluru – has created a unique ecosystem that champions informed discussions and embraces diverse perspectives. This has positioned Barely Opinionated as a catalyst for change, fostering a more informed and inclusive society.

Aisshwarya and Yeshodha shared their experiences, each story a lesson in resilience where women empowerment weren’t a buzzword but a reality! Rohit made his show incredibly engaging and fun by adding exciting twists like the 'Wasabi Challenge' where panelists had to answer tricky and controversial questions and if they refused, they’d have to take a mouthful of wasabi.

But the true magic lay in the audience's involvement. From engaging segments where attendees voiced their agreements or disagreements with various points of view to the vox pop interviews, the show ensured there wasn't a dull moment. These interactions made the audience an integral part of the event, enhancing the experience as the event progressed.

As the evening wrapped up, the energy was still electric! The attendees left with more than just memories; they carried with them new perspectives and inspirations. The Barely Opinionated Show perfectly narrated the journey into the minds of influential women, celebrating their paths and the power of open dialogues.
