Flying high
classes and worked very hard.
My husband gave me his full
support. And today, I am a hobby
pilot. Of course, I have a PPL
(Private Pilot License) which
means I can only fl y for myself
and not charge for my services or
fl y with any airline.
“So as of now, I rent a plane
when I want to fl y, and I take out
a couple of hours every month
to fl y. It makes me feel amazing
and this is something that I
really enjoy. Very soon, I plan to
purchase a single engine plane
with my hobby pilot friends.”
SPEEDING AWAY (on being
the fi rst woman to drive the
Formula E car)
“I have always been into
sports cars and have driven an
electric car for around two-and-
a-half years now. Recently, I was
invited by the Mahindra Racing
Formula E Team to train and
drive on their host track where
they practice with those cars.
The experience was amazing,
and I drove at a speed of 280
kms per hour.
“I have always been an
automobiles enthusiast and I
have just loved that experience.
Again, to ride a sports car, a
person needs an extremely
fi t body and the heart of a
marathon runner.”
ON TURNING A FITNESS
ENTREPRENEUR
“The idea to start a company
actually came up because of
social media. My consistent
approach towards fi tness, over
the years, has made me an
advocate of fi tness today. And,
because of who I was, when I
would post my workout images,
people would start contacting
me. Today, I have a very loyal and
fi tness-focused community on
social media. And that’s how the
idea generated - if I can help
other people to get up
and pursue fi tness, then I
can do much more.
“These people would
ask me why I didn’t
launch a DVD, but I
felt watching a DVD
was going out of your
way to watch and do
something. I wanted a
solution on the mobile
device, which is always
handy. Gourav Jaswal,
founder, Mobiefi t, and I
came together to start
a company with many
fi tness apps, because one
app cannot do justice to
all body types or fi tness
enthusiasts. We came up
with Mobiefi t to cater to
diff erent kinds of people.”
