Everest - Beyond the Glory | Vamini Sethi | TEDxShooliniUniversity

People usually try to learn and get inspiration from the ones who have achieved or conquered something in life, but no one likes to hear from people who have failed in achieving a goal. Ms. Vamini Sethi, a mountaineer by passion is one such example where one failure changed her perspective on life. On 23rd May 2019, Ms. Sethi was just 548 meters away from the highest peak of the world- Mount Everest, but was called back due to predicted bad weather. At that moment, she felt that her entire journey as a mountaineer went in vain, but later she realized that failures come along with lessons forever & it's not necessary that everything in life happens the way you want it to be. In her heart-touching TEDx Talk, Ms. Sethi shares her lessons with the youthful audience and narrates her personal experience on how failures shape one’s life. She inspires all by not losing hope and urges each one to keep that spark within always on! Vamini is an accomplished and a very passionate mountaineer, certified skier & a mountain biker on a mission to scale the seven highest peaks of the world. She has summited 4 out of the 7 peaks and has
also attempted Mt. Everest in 2019.
She holds a Limca record for riding the longest distance in a foreign country. She was the only civilian woman to successfully complete Siachen Glacier expedition in 2016 with the Indian Army and is also a
podium finisher for some of the toughest mountain biking races in the World. Vamini is also serving as a senior professional, at a multinational firm (VP, Marsh & McLennan).
She aspires to break the stereotype that makes women seem inferior and be an inspiration for women to encourage them to follow their passion.
With over 17 years of work experience, she balanced her work life along with promoting women’s financial freedom. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
