An IndiGo pilot named Shruti recently experienced a deeply personal and full-circle moment when she piloted a flight carrying her own grandmother, referred to affectionately as 'Nani', from Pune to Delhi. This remarkable event was captured in a viral video shared on Instagram.

Shruti expressed her gratitude to all who had contributed to her success, including family, friends, teachers, and colleagues, acknowledging their immense support. The experience of flying her Nani remains a profoundly memorable moment for her.
