At 12.4%, India has the highest percentage of female pilots in the world. Captain Zoya Agarwal became the youngest female pilot to fly a Boeing 777 in 2013 and landed a record-breaking flight over the North Pole on the world's longest air route in 2021. She wanted to be a pilot from the age of eight, and she told her story to the BBC's Olivia Wilson for Business Daily. You can find the whole episode on BBC Sounds.
