Thinking outside the box and following her passion has made Captain Ajmeera Bobby an inspiration
Captain Ajmeera Bobby
One could call her a role model for millions of young girls hoping to choose a career in the aviation industry, an unconventional sector for a majority of women even today. But one would agree that it is especially so for a tribal girl living in a mud house in the interior of Mancherial District, Telangana.
From growing up in a community, where she witnessed girl children being killed, stolen or sold to traffickers, Ajmeera has come a long way. Today, Ajmeera, who credits her rock solid determination in helping her realise her dreams and ambitions of soaring high in the skies, also works with different NGOs in the country, hoping to help empower women from different backgrounds. Ajmeera is also one of the motivational speakers for the Tribal Leadership Program by Tata Steel.
