Once Arunima returned, apart from the warm welcome she received, people from all walks of life came to her, saying they were inspired by what she did. They too now wanted to do something in life.
“I then decided to take on another challenge. I decided to scale the highest peaks in each of the seven continents”, she says.
She met Hanumath Gaekwad of the Bharat Vikas Group India Limited during an event and the latter was impressed with Arunima’s story. He told her he would sponsor her expeditions in the rest of the six continents.
“I have scaled Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount Elbrus in Europe already. I have also covered Asia,” she says.
Speaking about her book during the launch, she says, “I wanted my book to be launched by Ratan Tata or Narendra Modi.” Since her book already includes a quote by Ratan Tata, she zeroed in on the Prime Minister.
