Mumbai: India’s skydiving queen Shital Mahajan, who has completed 650 jumps and holds several Indian and world records, is excited about encouraging 100 Indian women to be a part of history by creating a world record in skydiving.
The 31-year-old Mahajan started an initiative that she calls a celebration of Indian women’s empowerment through skydiving, in which the Padmashri awardee plans to motivate and inspire women to attempt two records — in skydiving and scuba diving — on Australia’s Gold Coast from April 16 to 24, 2015.
Those who want to join in do not need any training, she says.
“A tandem skydive is safe and preferred by people who are jumping for the first time since it requires little or no training. It is the quickest and easiest way to experience the exhilaration of being in a free fall,” said Mahajan at a press conference to announce her skydiving plan.
