To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March, we bring you seven inspiring stories of Indian women who dared to defy gender stereotypes and made a significant and pioneering contribution in typically male-dominated fields. These are ordinary women with extraordinary grit and resilience. Driven by their passion and perseverance, they exhibited exemplary courage and excellence that paved their way to success. We salute the indomitable spirit of these women who were—and still remain—ahead of their times.
