Ishita Malviya
The ocean has always been a place for the men, they go to the ocean to fish while women sit at home. Even now, when women go to beaches, most of them are forced to worry about sunscreen and anti-tanning lotions more. Defying societal views on skin colour, and exploring areas that were reserved for men alone, Ishita Malaviya is just 25 and the first female surfer of India.

Suhasini Mulay
Suhasini
Mulay, the Marathi actress, who managed to get us floored with her
performances, broke the stereotype of
you-will-not-find-nice-a-guy-if-you-don't-get-married-early. She got married only when she felt the time was right, something almost every woman in India needs the liberty to do. Not only
did she find her partner on social media, she married him at an age of
60. She hence proved that there's no right time for love and marriage.
Shanti Tigga
Shanti Tigga was the first
female combat soldier in the Indian Army, and she achieved this feat
when she was 35 and had two children. While most women are told to leave
their jobs after they give birth to children, Shanti Tigga not only succeeded in achieving her goals, but also defeated all
her other male counterparts during their physical tests. And just a
side note (for people who believe women are the physically weaker sex)
she completed the 50-meter run in 12 seconds during her tests.
Although she met with a tragic death, after her abduction, she shall always remain a woman carrying valour beyond compare.

Roshni Sharma
An engineer by profession and biker by passion, she toured the entire length of India from Kanyakumari to Leh on a bike, solo, and is the first Indian woman to do so.She passed
the lofty Himalayan mountains, tough terrains, high passes of Rohtang,
Sarchu, Pang and Tangalangla and rode through the dangerous glaciers and
nullahs and conquered over fear with her passion.
