The rigorous scientific training I received laid a strong foundation, which has been invaluable throughout my academic and scientific career. The guidance and encouragement from my teachers not only deepened my understanding of physics but also fostered critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills, all of which have profoundly impacted my career beyond academia.

I graduated with a B.Sc. in Physics in 1991, marking the beginning of a journey that led me to break new ground in aviation. Shortly after graduation, I had the honor of joining the Indian Air Force as part of the first-ever batch of women pilots. It was a challenging and rewarding experience that set the foundation for a lifelong career in aviation.
