The Journey and Challenges Faced
Starting on April 7, 2025, the 11 women officers encountered difficult sea conditions, unpredictable weather, equipment challenges, and fatigue. Their resilience and teamwork helped them overcome these obstacles while strengthening their bond and proving their mettle.

Diplomatic Engagements in Seychelles
During their stopover in Seychelles, the team participated in diplomatic and defense programs, including meetings with the country’s Foreign Minister, Defense Chiefs, and the Indian High Commissioner. This helped enhance India-Seychelles relations and demonstrated the expedition’s role in soft power diplomacy.
