Limitless: Autobiography of India’s First Female Skydiver

by Rachel Thomas

Rachel Thomas had a dream—she wanted to fly. A strict, middle-class upbringing in the 1960s, a broken marriage and raising two kids alone, couldn’t shackle her dreams. At a time when becoming an air hostess too was taboo, she broke all barriers and learnt to skydive. A flight that began 43 years ago, culminated in 2002, when she planted the Tricolour at the North Pole. From being India’s first woman skydiver to being the first Padma Shree awardee in the aviation category, breaking glass ceilings has been Rachel’s lifelong forte. As a Competitor at World Championships, an International Judge in the sport as well as a TEDx speaker, Rachel has always motivated people. Read about her awe-inspiring journey and get inspired!

Great read. I definitely felt her frustrations for not being able to do as much as she wanted because of the limitations in India. Pretty amazing what she was able to accomplish despite all that.
