My topic was:
Should uniform labour code be mandated across all states?

Others in my panel had:
1) Is ESG only marketing or indeed useful?
2) Something on the lines of "Blockchain is eroding trust in financial institutions"
3) Should public banks be privatised?
4) India's Free trade agreement, are they political or economical?

Absolutely 👍
Plus if the topics are so diverse, all you can do is believe it’s something you know and leave the rest to prayers.
