story Kana is from India and ever since
she was a kid she was in love with
planes my fascination with planes began
at a very early age I was I think 4
years old when I saw a helicopter land
and I didn't know what a helicopter was
and when I came to know it was something
that flew you know that's when my love
for planes and helicopters began she
wanted to be a pilot when she grew up
but everyone around her said that's not
a good idea her family and teachers told
her that it's better to be a housewife
than a pilot you know I always wanted to
be a a pilot but like I said I belong to
a very Orthodox Indian business family
where girls didn't work for other people
where girls didn't do jobs we either
worked in family businesses or we didn't
work at all so when she grew up she came
up with an even better idea if I can't
fly them I'm going to own them yes she
raised money from investors she bought a
plane but she didn't buy it for herself
she let other people rent it just like
at taxi it is the Uber of the Skies yeah

this people loved renting her planes and
soon enough she had to buy more planes
and more planes she bought another and
another and another until she had 11
planes today I have nine planes and two
helicopters and this isn't just for CEOs
and celebrities it's also for people who
need medical care for example say if
someone's passed away and they have
certain organs available which can be
used by some other person we do organ
transfers from point A to point B we do
emergency response and rescue missions
we try to leave as much of an impact as
we can and soon she wants to make it
affordable for everyone just like Uber X
kana's story is so inspiring when the
world told her no she turned it into a
yes and proved that women can do
anything I think the biggest
misconception the world has about women
is that women can't do anything well
women can do everything and more believe
in
yourself you have to be your biggest
motivator your biggest supporter your
biggest encourager
don't let other people walk over your
dreams if you believe it you can
do they can be Housewives they can be
engineers and yes they can even own 11
