Sky’s the limit for Athulya as she breaks gender stereotypes

Breaking the glass ceiling, 19-year-old Athulya Dinesh has emerged as the first woman to become an IRATA International Certified Rope Access technician in India…reports Asian Lite News

Trained at ‘ARIES Rope Access Certification centre,’ Athulya, who hails from Thalayolaparampu in Kottayam district, is the first Indian woman employed in the hitherto male-dominated sector.
