What Drives You To Excellence | Squadron Leader (Dr.) Toolika Rani | TEDxMGMU
Squadron Leader (Dr.) Toolika Rani, an embodiment of resilience and excellence, shared her inspiring journey at TEDxMGMU. From her dreams as an NCC cadet to breaking societal norms and becoming an Indian Air Force officer in 2005, she exemplified determination.
Her pursuit of greatness took her to Mount Everest, where initial failure fueled her resolve to succeed. Undeterred, she returned solo the following year, overcoming financial, physical, and environmental challenges to reach the summit.
Her story highlights the transformative power of grit, reminding us that with passion and perseverance, we can achieve the extraordinary.
Appointed as the G-20 Brand Ambassador for Uttar Pradesh, she is a former Indian Air Force officer with ten years of service and a record of training India's first female fighter pilots. An accomplished mountaineer, she has summited Mt. Everest and numerous other peaks, and is the first Indian woman to climb Asia's highest volcano. She has received 18 awards for her achievements and is a prolific speaker and author, known for her motivational talks and published works.
