Hyderabad: The eighth edition of Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), which kicked off amid much fanfare on Tuesday, ended on a grand note on Thursday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the global conclave of entrepreneurs in the presence of Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of US President Donald Trump and his advisor, who stole the show with her scintillating speech.
