This historic achievement adds another feather to her cap after conquering several peaks across the globe.
Shivangi’s feat also highlights the growing role of indian women in the fields of adventure sports, where their contributions continue to shatter stereotypes and inspire a new generation of explorers. With each milestone she reaches, Shivangi proves that the sky is the limit for those who dare to dream big.
Her journey and Republic Day achievement are a reminder of the power of perseverance, courage, and a deep love for one’s country.
