"I am really grateful to our government to get this opportunity to serve the nation in this uniform with pride and to my airline which allowed me to reach here to be able to represent India on the global platform of UN women. I am a spokesperson for generation equality and international youth day. I am standing next to a stellar woman like Greta Thunberg who always inspired me with her global initiatives towards our beautiful mother nature. Truly humbled and honoured," said Captain Zoya.
Captain Zoya started dreaming of touching the stars at the age of 8 and now she is the Commander of Air India and is flying Boeing 777 aircraft all over the world.

Every woman should dream and believe in themselves to accomplish them, irrespective of their difficulties. Work hard, stay focussed and dedicated, give your 100 per cent, but never give up," said Zoya.
