The talk is about Aarohi’s round the world mission on an ultra light aircraft, describing her journey, hardship and how she achieved her dream.

At age 23, she became the first woman in the world to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo in a LSA. Aarohi launched the world's first all-woman team to circumnavigate the Earth in her LSA, named "Mahi", on July 30, 2018, along with her friend and pilot, Keithair Misquitta.

Till date, Aarohi has logged in 29,500 kms in 50 legs across three continents and 20 countries in her small light sport aircraft.

Aarohi is an ardent fan of the legendary American aviator, Amelia Earheart, who became the world's first woman to make a solo transatlantic flight in a bigger aircraft, 87 years ago, on May 20, 1932. Aarohi is a commercial pilot and light sport aircraft licence holder from Mumbai. She started flying at the age of 17. At 23, she became the first woman pilot in the world to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean in a light sport aircraft. She is very passionate about flying. Loves to drive and all things related to speed. Her dream is to command Boeing 777 in future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
