Lt Cdr Aishwarya Boddapati is a an officer of Indian Navy, who has brought glory to the country and Indian Navy by becoming a part of the first all-women’s crew to circumnavigate the globe on Indian Naval Sailing Vessel Tarini on Project Navika Sagar Parikrama. She, along with her teammates, is the recipient of the prestigious Naari Shakti Puraskar (highest civilian award to be conferred to women in India) by Honourable President of India Sri Ramnath Kovind. Venturing into unexplored southern oceans, facing rough weather conditions, strong winds amidst high waves and sub-zero temperatures while being self-sufficient aboard the ship, including the maintenance and repairs of the equipment is no mean feat, and we are certainly proud of this Hyderabadi!
